Parents, have you heard of sexting?

A 16-year-old Utah boy faces felony charges after allegedly sending naked photographs of himself and sexually explicit texts on his cell phone. 

According to court documents, the boy sent explicit photos and messages to a female who asked him to stop texting her.  He also sent explicit messages and images to six other students.  
    
Sexting, the sending of explicit photographs or texts via mobile device, is another troubling trend that is occurring.
