Sex Photos

Did you know that four percent of American youths online have been asked to send a sexually explicit photo of themselves over the internet? Researchers have done a new study and of the 65 youths in the study, who reported receiving a request, only one actually complied. But they say that is still a troubling number. With millions of youths online, that projects to potentially thousands across the country. We really need to start talking to kids more directly and informing them of the criminal implications of this type of thing. We need to encourage them to be aware of these situations and report them.
