Teens currently got a warning from New Jersey officials about the dangers that comes with sexting following the recent sex video posted by a 15-year-old teen boy in the internet. The sex video which was uploaded online was known to be an out of school sexual act between a student from Dickinson High School and a 13-year-old girl, according to reports made by Levon Putney from WCBS 880.
The issued warning to addresses the concern to raise more awareness and education towards teens and students about the dangers of sexting came immediately from the New Jersey city officials just shortly after the sex video was discovered.
The Union County Assemblyman Jon Bramnick released a statement saying "Kids don't realize that these acts are permanent," adding :And in that moment, they wish they could take it back. They just wish, wish, wish they could take it back and they can't." He is also known for sponsoring a bill that later on was established as a law to keep several juvenile offenders off from the Megan's Law sex offender registry.
The Assemblywoman from Camden and Gloucester County, Pamela Lampitt, established a 3 -year-old law that demands teens and youth who are caught sexting be compelled to attend an in-depth set of educational programs to provide more knowledge about the dangers of the act. She also said "Some of that is already being done on our schools, we just need to ramp it up a bit more."
Both Jon Bramnick and Pamela Lampitt specifically advice that parents should also need to exert more effort in educating teens about the dangers of sexting.
Teens involve in sexting are commonly doing acts like sending nude or lewd images of themselves to other people, while others are known to had used different ways to spread their sexual acts. The city and school officials are doing their best to crack down the root of these sex acts and to implement newer laws that can eliminate the effects of sexting to the society.
