If you ever wondered how kids get wrapped up in the seething underbelly of the porn world, just read this one.

Five eighth-grade Alvin students were suspended from school after one of them took a photo with a cell phone of a 13-year-old female classmate coming out of a shower and then sent it to a boy, who sent it to another friend, who sent it to yet another friend.

"All of the pictures have been deleted from the phones," said Alvin School District spokeswoman Shirley Brothers. "We don't think it spread any further," she said.

The incident began recently when a group of female students at Alvin Junior High School were having a sleepover at one of the girl's home. One of the girls borrowed a cell phone from another of the girls and took a picture of yet another girl getting out of a shower.

The student who took the photo later sent it via cell phone to a boyfriend, Brothers said. Later, in school, the boy sent it to another friend, who sent it to a boy.

Am I the only one wondering why this is any of the school's damn business? Yeah, lascivious and disturbing, coming as it does from 14 year olds, but still, are parents so ill-equipped to deal with anything that they let the state take care of this kind of shit?

The two girls with the cell phone, both cheerleaders, were given three days in-school suspension, Brothers said. The three boys were each given two days of out-of-school suspension and three days of in-school suspension.

And are we really surprised that a cheerleader was involved? I mean come on. Some guys pay big money for this kind of thing. . .
