  • Addressing Sexting Topics and Concerns

    "Sexting" refers to sending sexual photos or messages via text or picture messages, a practice engaged in by digital youth who are often unaware that these inappropriate actions may fall under child pornography laws. If prosecuted, they could face jail time and be forced to register as a sex offender for the rest of their lives.

  • Tips to Prevent Sexting [Larry Magid]

    These tips were written in April 2009, after several reported cases of teens being prosecuted for taking, distributing and possessing pictures of themselves or friends. While we are aware that such activity is inappropriate and risky, we do not feel that - in most cases - law enforcement should treat sexting as a criminal act. Except in the rare cases involving malice or criminal intent, law enforcement should play an educational role, along with parents, community leaders, school officials and other caring adults. "Sexting" usually refers to teens sharing nude photos via cellphone, but it's happening on other devices and the Web too. The practice can have serious legal and psychological consequences, so - teens and adults - consider these tips!

  • 'Sexting' Hysteria Falsely Brands Educator as Child Pornographer

    Rumors had been flying at Freedom High School in South Riding, Virginia that students were distributing nude pictures of each other on their cell phones.

    • The prosecution looked like an error right out of the gate.  The photo didn't show sexual activity or genitalia, and even the sheriff's office conceded it was "inappropriate" but not "criminal" -- making it unclear what the "child abuse" was supposed to be. In any event, as a matter of law, Oei was only required to report suspected abuse to his principal, which he'd done.  It was then Forester's job to report it to authorities if needed. Oei said Forester didn't step in to defend him to authorities. (Forester didn't return phone calls for this story)
    • Four months later, Plowman charged Oei with two more misdemeanor counts for contributing to the delinquency of a minor, claiming Oei broke the law when he had the 16-year-old boy send the photo to his cell phone and advise him on how to then forward it to his desktop computer. Each count added another year to his possible prison term. "The December charges really felt like piling on," Oei says.

    • The issue at hand is "sexting," a trend that involves teens taking risqué cell phone photos of themselves or friends and then transmitting them to other acquaintances. Some parents and adolescent experts say it's just teenagers doing the stupid things that teenagers do to flirt with or harass each other. But some prosecutors worry about the images falling into the hands of potential predators and they've brought child pornography and other charges against those involved.
    • But even though a cursory Web search reveals other recent sexting cases in Vermont, Indiana, Wisconsin and California, among other places, not everyone is aware of the practice just yet, or has an opinion on whether it's a criminal offense.

  • Her teen committed suicide over ‘sexting’
