Sexting – Information for young people
Sexting is when someone takes an indecent image of themselves, and sends it to their friends or boy/girlfriend via a mobile phone or some other form of technology.
Did you know, by sending indecent pictures of a person under 18 on to someone else you could be breaking the law? Also, if you have an indecent image of another young person on your phone, you are also committing an offence.
CEOP, the internet Safety agency have produced a video about the risks of sexting. It tells you how much trouble can be caused by sending an explicit image of yourself by mobile.
Check out the video below...
