Unknowingly opening a sexually explicit photo from an underage male or female can lead to child pornography charges.

“Sexting” a non-consenting person may lead to harassment charges.

Adolescents who send the inappropriate pictures may face charges of producing, possessing, and/or distributing child pornography.

Example: If Lisa takes a nude picture of herself and sends it to John, she may be charged with the production and distribution of child pornography. If John forwards the image to Tim, John may be charged with the possession and distribution of child pornography. And since Tim has the picture in his possession, he could also be charged.

As long as the image circulates, anyone with it may face charges.

As of now, there are minimal laws against cyber-bullying.

It is left up to school policies to handle these cases› What policies does your school have in

place? We all have to work together on this

VERY important issue!
