Nude Pictures Over Cell Phones Now Part of Teen Dating

Well that title certainly got my attention.

The Associated Press reports that Central Ohio teens are now using their cell phones to send nude pictures of themselves and don't see anything wrong with it, leaving Mark Raiff, a principal at Columbus' Olentangy Liberty High School, speechless.

"Detective Brian Marvin of the FBI Cyber Crime Task Force says he has seen everything from a strip tease to explicit sex sent by cell phone. He says the content sometimes makes its way to Internet Web sites for others to see.

Experts say teens often don't understand the dangers. They suggest parents pay attention to their kids' phones."
