TAHLEQUAH DAILY PRESS -

Many families preserve history through photos. Often, a trip to grandma’s would seem incomplete without a trip down memory lane via the big book of pictures.

These days, electronic media dominates everything from the way we listen to music, communicate and save images. Almost every cell phone has a built-in camera, which has some parents concerned - for good reason.

According to a recent report by the Associated Press, more and more teens are taking inappropriate photos of themselves, often wearing little or no clothing, and sending them to prospective boyfriends or girlfriends. More worrisome, these photos, once on the Internet, are accessible to practically anyone.

And it’s not just troubled inner-city teens doing the dirty downloads.

Alana Scott, a 2006 graduate of Tahlequah High School and an honors psychology student at Northeastern State University, shed harsh light on the teen cell-cam nudie photo rage. (more…)

HARTFORD, Conn. - Passing notes in study hall or getting your best friend to ask a boy if he likes you or, you know, LIKES you, is so last century. Nowadays, teenagers - including some in the Rochester area - are snapping naked pictures of themselves on their cell phones and sending them to their boyfriends and girlfriends.

Many of these pictures are falling into the wrong hands - or worse, everyone’s hands, via the Internet - and some are leading to criminal charges. (more…)

Every parent needs to be familiar with the new term “sexting.” Sexting is when teenagers send nude pictures or sexual explicit messages to each other by using their cell phone.  Sexting is the main way for teens to circumvent rejection from their peers. Sexual interests can be communicated to the other party without having to deal with face to face rejection. Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick demonstrates the phenomenom of sexting:

The problem for parents is that sexting usually lead to sexual encounters. Teens gauge interests from each other through the explicit pictures and determine whether or not to meet in person to have sex. In order to conrol sexting, parents need to inform their teenagers that sending nude picutres is considered porn and against federal law. Parents can also purchase software from Spyparent.net to monitor their teens emails, tests, and instant messages.

Local Telephone Sex Lines and Party Lines have become the number 1 way for teenagers in rural areas to socialize.  Rural teenagers are less likely to have computers which lead to socialization through telephone chat lines. Teen conversations range from day to day activities to up and coming parties. The problem is that teenage girls from the ages of 12-16 are meeting up with older men and engaging sexual activity.  In rural areas outside of Chicago and Miami, teenagers have recently been murdered or sexually assaulted by older men who met and coerced them through the chat lines.

Law enforcement has concentrated their efforts on stopping the type of internet crimes made popular by NBC’s “Catch a Predator”. Little efforts have been directed towards telephone chat lines.  Telephone chat lines do not leave a transcript like a computer which makes prosecution difficult. Since most of the party lines are local numbers, telephone providers can not block access like your normal 900 or 916 #s used for adult sex lines. Parents are having a hard time monitoring party lines due to teenager believing they are actually in love with the older men.

Here is an example of the problems:
