Cox Communications and The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children holds it annual summit today (full media release) to inform parents of potential dangers of the Internet, and has released its results of a new survey, on behaviors of kids and the technologies they use.  1 in 5 has sent text messages that include semi-nude or sexually-explicit images n/k/a "sexting."  Their findings discuss that most children surveyed use sexting to send images to their boyfriends or girlfriends.  They found that 11% sent these types of images to strangers.  Ages ranged from 13 to 18 and 80% were under 18 years of age.

As we partner with www.iroc2.org and our message to parents is to be proactive in our children's education of 21st Century Responsibility, not reactive once the actions have already been taken.  Teaching our children the risks, responsibilities and the consequences of their actions and behaviors through technology is key to a safe and productive future.  The actions they take today can affect the outcome of their future for tomorrow.  Read full article about the results of the Survey here.
