Internet Safety Talks about Sexting

Say NO to Sexting!

One of the topics we speak about during our internet safety talk for teens is sexting - both children and teens are doing it, and we need to help them understand the serious implications of it. 

You will be able to hear a pin drop when we put teens in the picture on sexting and what it really looks like if pictures and videos are freely shared by friends.

We explain why they need to think clearly, limit their vulnerability and be very careful about ever agreeing to being filmed. We make the criminal aspect of filming, sharing, uploading etc. very clear!

A brief outline of this topic includes:

  • Trading, sending, swapping pics online is a crime
  • Taking and storing a sext on a phone is a crime
  • Dissemination, distribution, sharing of adult content is a criminal offence
  • Age of consent, assualt, one photo on your phone 
  • All of the above is criminal including any adult themed photos on phone.
  • Police entitled to look (and not return) Phone & they will check out all the phones, devices at home
  • Students need to realise the criminal, social, moral limits, We'll explain clearly
