(May 21, 2008)--Police in a Galveston County school district confiscated dozens of cell phones from students after nude pictures of two junior high girls began to circulate.
Santa Fe School Superintendent Jon Whittemore said the students were forwarding the images to each other in an expanding circle.
He says it started when two Santa Fe Junior High School students took nude photos of themselves and sent them to their boyfriends.
The boyfriends forwarded the photos to others, who in turn forwarded them again.
Whittemore says district administrators are checking the phones and, in some cases, asking parents to come to claim them.
He said the two girls and the boys who forwarded the photos will be first in line for disciplinary action, but he says so many students received the images that it would be impossible to discipline them all.
