SEXting - Naughty Texting

Is sending racy 'sexts' flirting, or is it porn?

Though youth is fleeting, images sent on a cell phone or posted online may not be, especially if they're naughty.

Teenagers' habit of distributing nude self-portraits electronically -- often called "sexting" if it's done by cell phone -- has parents and school administrators worried. Nationally, some prosecutors have begun charging teens who send and receive such images with child pornography and other serious felonies.

But is that the best way to handle it?

In some cases, the photos are sent to harass other teens or to get attention. Other times, they're viewed as a high-tech way to flirt. Either way, law enforcement officials want it to stop, even if it means threatening to add "sex offender" to a juvenile's confidential record.

Sexting, texting, happy slapping, cyberbullying, porn, nude pictures...

We have been investigating this problem for a while and I must say that it doesn't surprise me that kids are doing this with the advent of cell phones, a whole new set of problems sprang up and nobody bothered to do anything about it until it was too late!

You can not fix something once its broke... you can only mend it!

It can never be the same...

What is the # 1 Danger for Children online?

This answer might surprise you, the Loss of Innocence!

It’s my belief that we are all born with our innocence intact, and as we grow up and become an adult, we lose little pieces of our innocence along the way, that’s just life.

But, it should never be someone else’s decision, especially predators or pedophiles or even a pornographer/webmaster, who thinks they have the right to take it away, with each cybercrime they commit!

Please don't let your children ruin their lives forever! Once a child losses his or her Innocence...it's gone!

Make sure they join you as you read and share this timely information, before its too LATE and the photo's or blog content has been posted!

You as a PARENT need to take control of this NOW! Teach your children about the consequences and the Lifelong Legacy that improper behavior can put into motion!
