Recommend that they don’t put anything in a text that they wouldn’t want their grandmother to see. Police also recommend reminding teens that sending inappropriate images to someone to whom they are close could become a problem if there is a breakup or a change in the relationship. Nude or sexual pictures of an underage person distributed electronically can be subject to criminal charges, even when distributed by another minor.The American Academy of Pediatrics says that according to a recent survey, about 20 percent of teen boys and girls have sexted. The emotional pain it causes can be enormous for the child in the picture as well as the sender and receiver -- often with legal implications. Parents must begin the difficult conversation about sexting before there is a problem and introduce the issue as soon as a child is old enough to have a cell phone, the AAP says. The AAP has provided tips on how to start a conversation about sexting with your children:Talk to your kids, even if the issue hasn’t directly impacted your community. “Have you heard of sexting?” “Tell me what you think it is.” For the initial part of the conversation, it is important to first learn what your child’s understanding is of the issue and then add to it an age appropriate explanation (see next bullet).Use examples appropriate for your child’s age. For younger children with cell phones who do not yet know about sex, alert them that text messages should never contain pictures of people--kids or adults--without their clothes on, kissing or touching each other in ways that they’ve never seen before. For older children, use the term “sexting” and give more specifics about sex acts they may know about. For teens, be very specific that “sexting” often involves pictures of a sexual nature and is considered pornography.Make sure kids of all ages understand that sexting is serious and considered a crime in many jurisdictions. In all communities, if they “sext”, there will be serious consequences, quite possibly involving the police, suspension from school, and notes on the sexter’s permanent record that could hurt their chances of getting into college or getting a job. Experts have noted that peer pressure can play a major role in the sending of texts, with parties being a major contributing factor. Collecting cell phones at gatherings of tweens and teens is one way to reduce this temptation.Monitor headlines and the news for stories about “sexting” that illustrate the very real consequences for both senders and receivers of these images. “Have you seen this story?” “What did you think about it?” “What would you do if you were this child?” Rehearse ways they can respond if asked to participate in inappropriate texting.Encourage school and town assemblies to educate parents, teachers and students.
