[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am at a loss as what to do. 
[b]This is not the first time she was caught[/b]. I had doubts so I replaced her iphone with a watered down version of android phone. A few weeks later she started using ipad/ipod without our permission. I removed all iOS devices from our home and then she asked her friend for her spare old iphone without our knowledge/permission and was using that to facetime.
We failed at parenting her.

I haven't told this to my husband as he will be really heartbroken.
I maybe sounding overly dramatic but I am so disappointed. Just wanted to get this off my chest. [/quote]

Why does she still have a phone?[/quote]

To stay in contact with us. Both parents WOH.[/quote]

In our house too. Our kid is using an old fashioned “dumb” flip phone with no camera for the moment due to internet rules violations. It embarrasses him, but when push comes to shove, it make phone calls.  He can also email us from the schools computers

As for sexting, have you tried a scared straight approach. News articles and such about girls who get their pictures posted on social media, forwarded to,the whole school, etc. it is never really gone. A future college or employer can find it. There have even been some suicides because of sexting pics going viral. I have taken the opportunity when these stories show up in the paper to print it for my daughter and say— this is why we have the rules.  We don’t want this to be you. Not the bright, beautiful smart girl, but the girl whose boobs every kid in school has seen.  These stories are everywhere.

I would also talk to her about child porn laws. Maybe it is legal for her to possess pics of herself.  But maybe not, depending on the jurisdiction. A nd or is kiddie porn to whomever she sends it to. That’s sex offender registry,for life.

Time to make her aware of the consequences of this.

And tell,your DH. Yes, it will break his heart. But you don’t keep stuff this serious from a co-parent. He needs to know. And he needs to be involved in solving it.
