Sexting. If you’re not familiar with the word and what it is, you should be!
Wikepedia defines Sexting as the act of sending sexually explicit messages and/or photographs, primarily between mobile phones.
And while most of us are aware of the problem of “Cyber” or online bullying via Facebook and other social media sites, a new form of child abuse is beginning to arise:
Cyber-Blackmail
This form of child abuse is just beginning to come to light in both the USA and in the United Kingdom.

FosterParentTraining.com is in the process of preparing a new Training Topic dealing with the growing problem of Sexting & Cyber Bullying.
