It's unbelievable but kids as young as 10 are sex texting

It's incredible to think that kids as young as 10 years old are sexting but, according to Northumbria police, it's happening. How do you stop your child sending or receiving explicit content through a mobile phone? Northumbria police launched several probes into alleged sex texting last year and reported that one case involved a 10-year-old boy who sent explicit images to an 11-year-old girl. A boy of 12 was also cautioned for sending rude picture messages of himself to a female classmate. [...]

You're probably horrified at the thought of your pre-teen sex texting but here's the thing: it's happening. Even if your child isn't sending explicit messages if they have a mobile phone they're at risk of receiving them. It's an issue that needs to be talked about says the NSPCC.
