MILLION KIDS EXPLOITED - THE INCREASE IN TEEN SEXTING IS STAGGERING
A recent research survey from Statista indicates that 77 percent
of teen respondents aged 19 years and older have sent a sext or nude images in
the US and 88 percent have received a text. Compare this with a survey in
2018 published in JAMA Pediatrics that indicated 15 % of teens say they send
sexts and 27% receive them. Equally concerning is a headline from Thorn
that indicated that the number of pre-teens sharing nudes on line doubled in
2020.
During this week's show we are going to discuss some of the
driving forces behind this behavior and explore why so many young people are
willing to take chances by sending nudes and sexual images to individuals they
met on line. We will discuss how parents can intervene and the conversations
that are critical to have with teens and pre teens before they are given cell
phones or other devices. We will also talk about how to report instances where
your child may be being blackmailed by an online predator.
