Many of us lead incredibly complex lives, with full, active schedules. While our priorities shift, often hourly; our children remain our first concern. That parental concern is often in competition with rapid technological advances in combination with constantly evolving “netspeak”. Every generation (and every 1/4 generation now) has developed and communicated in a secret tongue (necessary to better navigate among peers) of its own. Today’s netspeak has advanced to what is now known as “sexting”: nude/semi nude photos + text acronyms via mobile.
We can’t do much about the inappropriate photos once they are out there (actually, we can; separate article), but we can help parents decode sexting.
