Sexting is the practice, popular among teens, to take photos of themselves in various
states of undress (often with their cell phone camera) and send it to others. While
the reasons for sexting can vary (peer pressure, boredom, a joke, seeking popularity,
imitating celebrities behaving badly, or outright sexual solicitation), sexting
is far from harmless.
EyeGuardian detects sexting images and text posted to Facebook.
Underage nudity constitutes child pornography and not only is sending it illegal,
but simply having it on your computer, cell phone or online account constitutes
harboring and distributing child pornography. This is what happens when today's
technology lacks parental intervention. Sexting can vary from an SMS text message
of a sexual nature sent from cell phone to cell phone, to naked photos and even
pornographic videos.
The epidemic of Sexting is so pervasive among teens, and is now
being imitated by pre-teens, that finally not only are parents appalled, but the
legal system can no longer ignore it. Far from innocent flirting online, under existing
laws, courts are now prosecuting teens as felons. Underage nudity has always been
illegal, but now additional laws are being written and enforced to specifically
target the crime of sexting. Sext photos teens take of themselves undressed are
commonly making their way from their cell phones to their Facebook accounts. Even
if your child didn’t take the photo, if they just pass it along, it is criminal.
This presents the very real danger of trashing the reputations of all involved as
well as discipline and criminal charges from school, city and federal authorities.
