"Sexting"With modern technology and cell phone use, the trend known as "sexting" has opened a Pandora's box of issues for both children and their parents which can have repercussions with irreparable damage. Sexting is a play on the words "sex" and "texting." It involves sending sexually explicit messages (texts, photos, videos) via cell phone. Because this is such a prevalant topic, we hope that this announcement will provide you with some important information.
