Sexting

Recently read the following article:

http://www.foxnews.com/health/2014/01/07/sexting-common-linked-to-sex-among-high-risk-youth/?intcmp=features

This link above is an article that discusses how a researcher in a Rhode Island hospital conducted a study in which he found middle school students with behavioral or emotional problems to be at a higher risk for sexting and for engaging in sexual activity.  Each of us have students at our schools with various challenges, and I have unfortunately had to deal with students before that have made these poor decisions.  I was curious what your thoughts are in response to this article, and if any of you have words of wisdom that may benefit us all as we work to point the children under our care in the right direction.
