    A lot of this sounds like child pornography, can kids get in trouble for sending child pornography of themselves?

    he was both cutting himself and was holding a gun (.45 to be precise, a shotgun) to their head
    Not to be nitpicky (but this *is* Slashdot, afterall, where nitpickiness is a way of life) a .45 is not a shotgun, but rather a caliber of handgun. (ex. .22, .25, .357, .38, 9mm, etc.) Shotguns are usually in the line of 10 gauge, 12 gauge, etc.

    But we got your point :-)
