Examples of sexting include sending: nude or nearly nude photos or “selfies” videos that show nudity, sex acts, or simulated sex. Text messages that propose sex or refer to sex acts

‘Sexting’ is an increasingly common activity among children and young people, where they share inappropriate or explicit images on line or through mobile phones. It can also refer to written messages. As a parent or carer do you know what it is, how to spot it and what to do?
