LOS ANGELES >> Decrying a wave of nude selfies being uploaded by children across America, the Los Angeles County sheriff sent an open letter warning children of the risk of snapping obscene pictures of their nude bodies.
Obscene selfies "are forever present on the Internet, viewed and traded like baseball cards by child molesters, predators, and extortionists," Sheriff Jim McDonnell wrote in a letter posted Sunday on Facebook and other social media sites.
