Helpful Guidelines

As children grow, they explore and take risks. Risk taking provides young people with the opportunity to test their skills, abilities, and discover who they are. But, some risks can have harmful and long-lasting effects on their health and well-being. This is true for young people's online lives as well. Use the tools linked here to help support our students in leading a safer and more positive life online.

 

Learn about The Dangers of Sexting

Sexting is when someone sends sexually explicit images of themselves or others via cell phone or computer. 

Sex + Texting = Sexting

Under Florida law, sending or receiving a sexually explicit image of a minor can result in criminal charges against both the sender and receiver.

Additionally, did you know that “No cell phones with cameras and/or video recording devices are permitted in the locker room/restroom area” of ANY public restroom or place where there is the perception of privacy (locker-rooms, tanning booths, etc.)? Taking an image and transmitting it is a crime called 'Video Voyeurism' in the state of Florida.
