Girl cited for cell phone photos

Police say a Bismarck teenager has been cited for being an unruly juvenile after her mother found the girl sent explicit pictures of herself to a boy through her cell phone.

BISMARCK (AP) — Police say a Bismarck teenager has been cited for being an unruly juvenile after her mother found the girl sent explicit pictures of herself to a boy through her cell phone.

Authorities said the sending of such photos, called “sexting,” is becoming more widespread.

Police said the 16-year-old Bismarck girl’s mother reported the incident after an argument with her daughter.

Bismarck Police Lt. Randy Ziegler said such reports are becoming more common, probably because of technology.
