ABOUT
TEEN SEXTING

Is teen sexting something to be concerned about? What do parents need to know?

Prevalence

"Research suggests that parents should address the topic of sex with their children— and by extension, digital media and its use in the home — not through a one-time conversation, but through an ongoing dialogue that should begin early and occur often, across developmental time."

LEGAL CONSEQUENCES OF TEEN SEXTING

Current laws have made teenagers both the victim and the perpetrator in teen sexting cases, with consequences ranging from community service to imprisonment and placement on the sex offender registry, a punishment with lifelong consequences.

PREVENTION & INTERVENTION

Over half of students who reported sexting as minors said they weren't aware that sending a sexually explicit text could be considered child pornography under federal law.
