A video our sheriff's office put together about Sexting...
You know this is what really happens to those photos...
3 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Sexting:
1. Do I really want to do this? Are you sure you want a permanent record of your stuff? Is there a better way to show your hotness without being overexposed? If you are feeling pressured by a partner, is this the person you really want to be with?
2. Where will this picture end up? Possible answers:
a. My partner's phone.
b.Their friends' phones.
c. Everyone's phone and inbox.
3. What will happen next?
a. How will you feel about yourself when everyone sees this photo? How do you think others will feel? Many teens are committing suicide because of sexting gone wrong.
b. You or your partner get arrested. Anyone with your photo is in danger of arrest. Taking, sending, and possessing naked images of a minor is a federal crime. Sex offenders' registry? Not the honor roll you were hoping for.
Contain the beast. Before you snap that pic, reflect on where your image may surface.
Resist pressure. Why sext if you don't want to?
Break the cycle. Don't pass on any sexts that come to you - and don't comment on them.
Forwards can live forever.
