Memo to the Folks… and especially to the Kids continued: Fourth… Sexting is a serious matter which can land you in much worse trouble than a school suspension or a few community service hours. Forgetting the personal consequences if you are either receiving or transmitting images of underage minors (anyone under the age of 18) then you risk arrest, prosecution, incarceration and lifelong stigmata of being a registered sex offender.
Memo to the Folks… and especially to the Kids continued: Finally… Making mistakes is a rite of passage from youth to adulthood so, unlike your religious affiliators I don’t hold your foolishness against you; rather I encourage you to grow, to learn, to follow Haber’s Rules of Social Media 1 – 5 (which are printed below) and to remind you of that which you now known firsthand… that texting, and sexting, on your smart phone can land you in just as much trouble as if you were doing it on the internet.
