Handy und Internet machen es möglich. Kinder und Jugendliche, die sich selbst nackt in lasziven Posen fotografieren und diese Bilder weitergeben, gehen zwei erhebliche Risiken ein: Einerseits werden diese Bilder früher oder später "in die falschen Hände" geraten und somit zu Mobbing und massiven gesellschaftlichen Problemen führen. Vielleicht schon in der Schule, vielleicht auch erst später. Andererseits kann man - zumindest in den USA - auch schon als Kind für die Herstellung und Verbreitung von Kinderpornographie belangt werden.
What's more disturbing -- that teens are texting each other naked pictures of themselves, or that it could get them branded as sex offenders for life?Der ganze Artikel auf salon.com.
Und selbst wenn man rechtlich ungeschoren davon kommt (das Risiko für eine Anklage dürfte eh ziemlich gering sein), das Internet vergisst nicht (und hier liegt das eigentliche Problem). Die Online-Reputation ist schneller zerstört als aufgebaut. Dabei werden peinliche Party-Fotos von alkoholbedingten Aussetzern irgendwann als "Jugendsünden" akzeptiert. Öffentliche Nacktbilder - vor allem von Frauen - "verjähren" nicht ...
Let me get this straight: Today's teenagers, who are products of the electronic age, still don't understand the permanence of a digital record?(Zitat von hier)
I've been reading with prescient horror about "sexting," the 21st-century equivalent of getting to third base. Sexting may not be new, but its potentially deadly consequences are in the news. A little background:
Sexting is act of sending, by text or by email, boudoir pictures of yourself to a girlfriend or boyfriend, the one who is, like, for sure marrying you after high-school graduation. For my generation, it might seem as naughty as flashing your boyfriend during a Flock of Seagulls concert. The only harm back then: his teammates would find out, and you'd avoid the cafeteria for a week.
The act of emailing nude pictures of your underage friend can bring charges of child pornography. And that little felony can ruin your life.
What's happening now is much more dangerous, and... wait for it... possibly felonious.
When dream boy cuts a girl loose (or vice versa), he still has her sexy pictures in his phone, and within seconds of the lover's spat, he can instantly soothe his bitter soul by digitally spraying his friends' cellphones with her racy shots.
Even if he sobers up the next day and says he's sorry, each of his teammates has feasted on her personal porn. Eventually, they tell two friends… and so on... and so on.
It goes without saying this is more of a problem for girls than boys, as sexual "reputations" are mostly damaging to one teenage gender.
While the rumor mill can eventually die away, sexting leaves permanent evidence, and it can be devastating. In fact, girls caught up in its blowback have reportedly been ostracized, taunted, and even physically assaulted.
In one girl's case, her mother said it led to suicide.
