Daily Dose of BS Nov 14 sexting

According to a professor at the University of Colorado, there is no harm done with consensual sexting.  She goes on to say “If there’s no harm or privacy violation, then there’s no need to hold anyone accountable”.   Up to 28% of teens are sending sex pictures or sexting with each other on their cell phones.  What we as parents think that kids are doing with their phones is surely different than what is really going on.  Getting on the old man soap box now but the once-innocent “I’ll show you mine you mine, if you show me yours” game has gone digital, and with digital pictures out there floating in cyber space you really have no control in who is even seeing these pictures.  I guess what it boils down to is put away your phone and don’t take pictures of anything that you wouldn’t want everyone to see, today, tomorrow or in the future.
