Sexting Led to Level 2 Sex Offender

Every time I read another story about teens becoming victims of sexting, I can’t stress it enough how important it is for parents to continue to talk to their children about the hazards of meeting people online. This time the 20 year old wrongdoer was posing as a girl to another boy and made threats to the boy if he didn’t send nude photos. The 20 year old told the boy that “her” dad was in the FBI and “she” would tell “her” dad that he was threatening “her”. So the 13 year old boy started sexting “her”. The threats continued from “her” and the boy agreed to send “her” six phone numbers of his friends from middle school. One of these parents found out and the wrongdoer was convicted as a level 2 sex offender.  All I can say, is at least one of these parents knew what to do and helped get this wrongdoer convicted.
