Sexting leads to suicide, girl's family sues

A teenage girl committed suicide a month after graduating from high-school because her ex-boyfriend sent his friends a nude photo of her that she had sent to him by text message while they were dating. The Huffington Post reports.

The complaint filed by the teen's parents names the city, school district, ex-boyfriend, and the friends to whom he purportedly sent the picture. The couple are seeking punitive damages for discrimination, civil rights violations, the invasion of privacy, and emotional distress, reports the Courthouse News Service.
