Students are using their cell phones to text crude and pornographic images of each other to their friends.

It's called "sexting," sending graphic images, videos and text to friends. It's such a problem the San Diego Police Department has an entire team dedicated to sexting and internet crimes.

"We carry 60-70 cases ongoing," said Sgt. Chuck Arnold of the Internet Crimes Against Children task force.  Arnold points out that puppy love isn't what it used to be.  What begins as an innocent snapshot can quickly spiral. 

"The next picture is usually going to be on panties or bras, something like that," explains Arnold.  "They eventually go to a shot of breasts, to a shot of vaginal region, something like that.  And then to where we've actually had full on videos of a strip tease and masturbation."

He says just about every junior high and high school in San Diego has a problem.

"It's very big...It's everywhere."
