This document discusses the legal and social risks of sexting for minors. It notes that taking, sharing, or possessing nude photos of anyone under 18 is considered child pornography, which is a felony offense. Those convicted could be required to register as sex offenders and may face restrictions on where they can live and work. Once images are sent digitally, the sender loses control over how they are shared. While sexting may seem harmless, it can have serious lifelong consequences like legal trouble and limitations due to being listed on a sex offender registry. The document warns teens not to take or send nude photos and to tell trusted adults if they feel pressure to sext.
