So we need to recognize the variability in these behaviors and acknowledge consensual, somewhat safe sexting among romantic partners as sort of a separate thing to maybe deal with informally.

those instances where there is extortion or threats of harm or images are shared without the permission of somebody, we need to treat those more seriously.

But we can't just pass a law increasing penalties and punishment because we know that teens aren't really deterred by the threat of that punishment.

So we need to take a holistic approach to this problem.

Thanks, David.

I appreciate it.
