Is the girl being tried as an adult, of is this in the jurisdiction of juvenile court? What would be the compelling factor, in moving this child's prosecution into adult criminal court?

It doesn't matter, usually, in this case because in some states the case can be sealed as a juvenile. The penalties are the same, but a juvenile would be released at 18 from prison or probation. The registration as a predator depends on State and federal law, it could be for life.
Maybe the principal could explain these issues at the next assembly?
The inmates are running the asylum. The brain of a 14 year old isn't fully developed yet, and that is why kids do dumb things. If she only sent these to her BF, how did it come to the attention of authorities ?
Sure, go ahead and ruin a kid's life for something fairly innocent and between two people.
It seems like some of you would kill your own mother if it was "the law".
Nice knowing you, common sense.
Who gets to decide on the definition of "common sense" in each case?

Oh please.
Having had sons who received unsolicited tit pix from girls this age, I am glad to see some consequences. I guarantee you that unless this girl was raised in a cave (with an iPhone ) there is NO way she didn't know this wasn't acceptable.
It's horrifying that she is so cavalier about sexting, and it's unbelievable that the ACLU used that quote from her in that press release. I'm sure she didn't think she'd get charged, and she for sure never thought she'd get caught.
To state the obvious, if they start facing charges, it will no longer be a common practice.
You overestimate the ability of young teens to think logically. They all believe they won't be the one that gets caught. And, you can tell them every hour that sexting is wrong, and they will still do it, either because they don't believe you, think it's cool to thumb their nose at authority, or just because.
Charging the girl under the child porn statute is overreach. Is it really worth putting a 14 year old on the sex offender registry for taking a picture of herself? There has to be another way to deal with this, on the order of "super detention", picking up trash, etc.

Lol! You sound like an advocate for child pornography. ' for something innocent and between two people' I heard those very lines when a pedophile was being sentenced. He sincerely couldn't understand how his desire for the young was anything but pure and natural.
This girl teen though she be ,knows right from wrong. And it's readjusting a person when corrective measures are needed. It's not ruining it,it's aiding her

That's a dumb mother ****ing thing to say

As is this
Are people seriously unintelligent enough to conflate adults having sex with children with two adolescents showing each other their private parts?

While I certainly don't think it's a good idea for a teenagers to put nude pics of themselves out into the public - I don't know that it's wrong and it's certainly not something that should be criminal.

Another thing dumb as ****.
Making this girl a sex criminal is not "aiding her"
law is the law... she broke it, she should be charged, go easy on the punishment, but not enforcing the law based on who committed it would lead to a slippery slope
if enough people got punished for it, parents would learn to teach their kids better
If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. take her away!
