As a parent of teenagers, it concerns me tremendous.  A big part of the problem is that these kids believe that naked pictures are the only thing that can be a problem.  As parents, we need to educate our kids that any texting, picture or message, of any sexual nature, can cause them problems.  They believe it's innocent, but if they were to lose their phones and the phones contain messages or pictures that could be construed as sexual, the authorities will be contacted.  It's up to the parents to make sure their kids understand and don't get themselves into trouble.

It's up to parents to not allow their kids to get themselves into these situations. What in the world does a kid in school need a phone for to begin with. They are pure distraction within themselves and takes focus off of all studies. A phone is not a necessary tool for school and for those that think so have been hoodwinked by their kids. Parents get control.
