Sexting



These images have been taken and sent to others, control is lost of them and they can end up anywhere. They could be seen by friends and family, a future employer, or even, in some cases, end up in the possession an offender!
This also puts that person who originally sent the images in a vulnerable position, as somebody they may or may not know now has these images and could use technology to bully, harass or even try to locate them.
Just think – if you wouldn’t print and pass these images around your school or show your mum or dad, they are not appropriate to share via phone or other technologies.

In addition you will be breaking the law because if a teenager were to have in their possession an indecent image of another minor, they would technically be in possession of an indecent image of a child.
This is an offence because of the Protection of Children Act 1978 and the Criminal Justice Act 1988.


             
Peer Pressure is one of the main factors of sexting.
This could end up happening as a result.
