Youth workers discuss 'sexting' and online photos

The problem of teenagers posting explicit photos of themselves on social media is the subject of a meeting today, by concerned youth workers in the Culm Valley area.


They're worried by the extent to which it's happening, the attitudes it illustrates, and the potential for the pictures to be widely circulated to strangers.

Community safety officer Julia Ryder set up the meeting after being approached by a school nurse and a youth worker who'd seen a rise in cases.. and then hearing similar concerns from a police community support officer.
