Blogs: How Sexting Can Get Your Kid Arrested

Manassas Patch blogger uKnowKids discusses the criminal implications of sexting.

Adults and children do it: send racy, sexual images of themselves to others via mobile text messaging.

But as our blogger, uKnowKids points out, this type of activity can result in criminal charges for anyone-if the image is of someone under 18, even if that someone sent the picture his or her self. 

Read the blog:' The Legal Concerns of Sexting,' here.

This interesting blog goes on to discuss child pornography laws and how adults and children can avoid getting wrapped up in the wrong type of text messaging. 

By the way, blogging is free on Patch. So if you are knowledgeable about a certain topic, or have a real passion you want to write about, you should start a Patch blog.

Head to the homepage and look on the bottom right under, "Local Voices" to read more of our Patch blogs.

I have this kind of problem before where I accidently saw conversation with sexual nature on my daughter’s facebook account. She uses her smartphone to be on facebook all the time. I am concerned after reading about this sexting thing that teenagers do.
Then I saw this software and installed on my daughter’s smartphone but if she access facebook from home computer, I won’t know about that. So I use an online service called pgguard (www.pgguard.com) that informs me on such suspicious incidents regardless of the device my daughter uses. Any parent wouldn't want their children to have scandal at a young age and worst arrested.
