Editor's Notes
- #3 Choose one of the videos to show. Second video: http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4723169n&tag=apiAbout second video: A great tragedy happened last summer. An article on Cincinnatti.com from March 22 [http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20090322/NEWS01/903220312/-1/TODAY] tells of Jessica Logan, a lovely 18 year old girl, who took her own life. She took a nude picture of herself and sent it to her boyfriend, who then sent it on to others, and it reached hundreds of eyes. She was then endlessly tormented by kids for being a “slut, porn queen, whore.”
- #4 http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/02/04/tech/main4776708.shtmlSome companies, such as WebSafety Inc., have developed software that parents can use to monitor certain activity on cell phones and computers. They can, for instance, block X-rated texting terms or be alerted when their child is using them, says Mike Adler, the company's CEO. Photos are trickier, though, and often require a parent to manually check a child's phone. According to a 2008 survey by CosmoGirl.com and The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy (http://www.thenationalcampaign.org/sextech/PDF/SexTech_Summary.pdf), 20 percent of the 653 teens who responded to the survey said they had sent nude or semi-nude photos of themselves via cell phone. Thirty-eight percent of girls and 39 percent of boys surveyed reported having seen a nude or semi-nude image that had originally been sent to someone else.So she reminds her young patients: "Even though it seems like fun and so exciting right now, that person may not always feel the same way about you. And you may not feel the same way about that person either." WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF SEXTING?A few middle school girls are at a slumber party and use their cell phones to take and send topless photos of themselves to their friends. A high school boy e-mails a nude photo of himself to a high school girl he met on a social networking website.WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF SEXTING THAT CLEARLY INDICATE ILLEGAL CONDUCT?A high school boy sends a partially nude photo of himself to his high school girlfriend. When they break up a few months later, she forwards the photo to all of her friends. A high school junior tells a freshman girl that he will take her to the prom if she sends him sexually explicit photos of herself. Because she wants to attend the prom, she uses a digital camera to take partially nude photos of herself and e-mails them to the boy.
- #5 This is an example of a patent filed by Apple to try to block sexting from iPhones. There are also many parental controls that can be used to help stop
- #6 What were your policies?The Lubbock Independant School District of Texas had instituted a $15.00 retrieval fee for confiscated phones, but discontinued it because of the “ill -will” it created. The Leopold Missouri high school handbook now has put into writing the consequences of repeatedly breaking the cell phone policy: first time- pick up at principal office. Second time- phone kept for one week and then released to a parent. Third time- phone kept for rest of the semester. It is because students repeatedly and continuously break the policies regarding their phones that schools are being forced to do this. The parents are as much to blame as the children, for they know the school rules-or should know them.Cell Phone jammers are considered illegal in the United States and is a violation of Federal Law, and carry a minimum $11,000 fine if caught. http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/jamming-cell-phones-and-gps-equipment-against-lawNews story link shows a teacher in California who was caught using a cellphone jammer inside the classroom without district permission.
