Before you hit send-
Consider this:
Sexting is sending nude or sexually suggestive photos, videos or messages via cell phone.
Sexting is treated the same as child pornography in most states. Distribution and possession of child pornography is a federal offense. Teens can be labeled sex offenders and treated as felons for sexting.
 Phillip Alpert, who sent a nude photo of his girlfriend to her family and friends after an argument, was convicted of sending child pornography, sentenced to five years of probation and labeled a sex offender until he's 41. Jessica Logan wasn't so lucky. Her boyfriend sent nude photos she had sent him to teens in several different school. After months of teasing and ridicule, she committed suicide.
Once a photo or message is sent, there is no guarantee it won't end up online where it is impossible to control who sees or uses it.
An act that takes just seconds can have life-long impact. Think before you text.
