Concern over “sexting” reaches Congress

ABC-12 Wisconsin reports:

“Sexting is the Internet concern of the moment,” U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz said. “And the concern we have is that we don’t have enough Internet safety education in the schools right now. It’s very haphazard and we need to make sure that we put the weight of the federal government behind it.”

The Florida congresswoman introduced a bill this month called the Aware Act. It would allocate federal grants to nonprofits to teach kids how to stay safe online.
