Article: "Sexting May Place Teens at Legal Risk"
Teens have taking instant messaging to another level known as "sexting" in doing so; they could be placed at legal risk. As a parent I have an obligation to myself and my child to monitor how he or she uses the cell phone and computer that I pay the bill for. We should let our children know that their bodies are precious and belongs to them only and that it is inappropiate to take nude pictures of themselves and post them on the internet or let anyone view them for that matter. We should also inform them of the danger of participating in this act, such as being exposed to a pedophilers,and even facing legal issues. As an educator I would reiterate to my students what I hope their parents have already told them, and take it a step futher by showing them the video about the teen who is facing legal issues and also view articles pertaining to "sexting".
