Parents, take lead in fighting 'sexting'
Sexting, or messages with pornographic images, can lead to a lot of problems. It's a problem teenagers have and its something we need to enforce because they are underage.
A simple pound and the message is sent. What they don't know is who can see that and that can land someone in jail for child pornography. Almost all of the teenagers' parents pay for their phone, which makes it even worse because they don't know the value of a dollar.
You can say the state needs to enforce laws, but it all comes down to the parents. They're paying for the phone, they're housing their teens. Parents need to be more strict if we're going to complain.
