[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just an fyi, Make sure you all talk to your kids about what is appropriate and what isnt.
A 14 yo came to the Police Station where I work yesterday to report that a male friend sent a pic of a 13yo naked to him and told him to post to social media.
They all attend a  middle school in our area ( dont want to be specific)

Tell her your kids that no one is to take a pic of then naked, or in a swimsuit, underwear, anything. And if your kid gets a pic like this they need to tell you.

Good advice.  And have the talk often.  Be specific.  Once my son got a picture of a partially dressed girl.  He thought the best thing to do would be to tell her best friend so her best friend would talk to her mother.  It's not bad logic for a 9th grader, but this could have been a disaster.

Another rule I have is that you can't send photos without my approval.  Once one of my kids was taking pictures and didn't realize his privates were showing.  The pictures were not of his privates and he just didn't see it.  Another disaster averted.  [/quote]
