FROM THE HEALTH OFFICE
Our weekly Internet Safety Tip for parents and guardians ... Younger children should be prohibited from sending and sharing personal photo’s online or through a cellular phone without your permission. Discuss with tweens with whom they can share photos and what types of photos are appropriate.  Explain that sharing nude photos of minors is against the law.  If your teen is posting photos on a social-networking site, make sure he or she uses a privacy feature that only allows friends to view the photographs.
P.T.O.
