Jessica Logan Act

In Ohio, Governor John Kasich last month signed the "Jessica Logan Act" into law. That law primarily puts the onus on schools to educate kids not to sexting and to enact anti-bullying policies aimed at stopping distribution of photos. What is interesting about this new law in Ohio, it is putting the responsibility on the school. What about the parents? Shouldn’t they be communicating with their kids about sexting and what to do if they get an unsolicited photo or message which is “R” Rated. The education needs to start at home and be reinforced at school.
