Antes de presionar enviar, piensa en:
Es posible que tu publicación no permanezca privada: los mensajes y las imágenes siempre tienen la posibilidad de circular.
Una vez que lo envíes, nunca desaparecerá del todo. Incluso si lo borras, no tienes control sobre quién lo haya copiado y publicado en otro lugar.
La mayoría de los adolescentes reportan haber enviado o publicado fotos sexualmente sugerentes o de desnudos por presión social. No cedas a la presión de hacer algo que te incomode.
Intenta considerar la reacción del destinatario. Que un mensaje tenga la intención de ser divertido no significa que quien lo reciba lo vea así.
¿De verdad conoces a la persona a la que se lo envías? Casi uno de cada cinco jóvenes que envía mensajes e imágenes sexualmente sugerentes lo hace a personas que solo conoce en línea (18 % en total, 15 % adolescentes, 19 % adultos jóvenes).
Recordar:
Una vez que lo envíes o lo publiques en línea, nunca podrás recuperarlo.
sexting
Definición: Cualquier transmisión electrónica de material sexualmente explícito en el que otra persona esté desnuda, semidesnuda o sea sexualmente sugerente.
Definition: Felony: A serious crime that stays on your permanent record and can prevent you from getting a job, entering the college of your choice, holding political office, voting, and many future endeavors. Felonies typically involve a serious punishment, such as jail time.
Here is the difference between a Felony and a Misdemeanor: A Misdemeanor is a less serious offense that allows you to maintain your basic rights, such as voting.
Take the Picture= Felony (Creating Child Pornography)

Convicted child pornographers are charged with a Felony and required to register as a sex offender
Show the Picture= Felony (Distribution of Child Pornography)

Showing the photo to a friend is considered distribution of child pornography – also a Felony charge – and subject to sex offender registry requirements.
Send the Picture= Felony (Distribution of Child Pornography)
-
Sending a suggestive, nude, or semi-nude photo of a minor in any format is considered distribution of child pornography, and those distributing could be charged with a Felony and become a registered sex offender.
Keep the Picture= Felony (Possession of Child Pornography)
-
Keeping a photo in your possession, even electronically, could bring charges of possession of child pornography, subject to Felony charges and sex offender registry requirements.
Not Reporting the Picture= Misdemeanor
-
For an adult in a position of trust: Failure to report a suggestive photo of a minor is considered a violation of child abuse laws.
-
Failure to report child abuse is a Misdemeanor charge for those who knowingly avoid reporting.
