The Dangers of Teen Sexting

"During the month of December, please enjoy these previously recorded shows...The Best of 2013. We will return live every Tuesday night beginning January 7, 2014. Enjoy the Holidays!"

In this age of instant communication and instant gratification sexting has become all too common for those in love. Teenagers are no different, while many teens openly admit that they know it's wrong to send these sexual photos, many feel the odds of getting caught are so low that they are willing to take the risk. Unfortunately, they are disconnected from the life-long consequences of their behavior and risks of hurting not only themselves but those they love. Join Raychelle Lohmann as she discusses how you can protect and talk to teens about this difficult issue.
