Middle school students swap nude cell phone photos

Four students at Daphne Middle School in Alabama, two boys and two girls - in separate incidents - used cell phone cameras to take nude photos of themselves and exchanged the images, police said, reports The Associated Press.

"Police and school system officials have declined to release the students' names because of their age (between 11 and 12).

Photos from the incidents were apparently seen and exchanged by other students. Police do not believe the pictures resulted in any sexual contact or abuse.

"We're trying to educate and kids, as well as the parents, about what can occur with a cell phone," Beedy said. "If you give your child a cell phone with a camera, you need to be aware because of the trouble they can get into."
