FOSI Panel: Protecting Online Reputations in a Sexting Cyberspace

On May 13th, Safe Internet went to the Family Online Safety Institute’s (FOSI) panel discussion on sexting and cyberspace, part of a monthly series of discussions hosted by FOSI on Capitol Hill covering a range of internet safety topics.

The panel seemed particularly timely due to the recent flurry of news stories about teens and sexting.

Panelist Monique Roth from the Department of Justice made the point that, “…Prevention and education is incredibly important [in regards to sexting], but once we reach the point of prosecution, it means that we have failed in education.”

Stephen Balkam, CEO of FOSI and moderator of the Wednesday discussion, said that there really are three types of online safety that youth and parents should be aware of and concerned about: physical, psychological, and reputational safety.

These two excellent points relate to the importance of efforts like those of the Meadville, Pennsylvania police in a story published by The Meadville Tribune. In order to prevent sexting among teens and ultimately the charges of distributing child pornography that can be brought against them, the Meadville police are conducting seminars to educate parents.

These types of local initiatives, often pioneered by law enforcement and schools, are cropping up all over the nation. They may eventually be aided by a new bill, introduced last week by Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL), that would provide up to $175 million over five years to identify the best Internet safety programs for children, and provide competitive grants to non-profit groups and schools to spread the word.

In the past, doing something embarrassing wasn't a big deal. It happened, and then people moved on. But now that things can be shared on the Web immediately, those embarrassing moments can last forever and impact your reputation and those of your friends. java developers

If you allow your teens to maintain a profile on social networking sites, a great way to open the lines of communication with them about their safety is to ask them to teach you about the site, make your own profile, and add your children as your friends. hire a programmers
