When #faveNephew was about 14, the TV news said "Your teen is texting pictures of their private parts to other people. This is called 'sexting'."

I was in Ohio, but I called him immediately and said "If I ever hear that you did that, I'm going to beat your butt". The same conversation was had with #sonTwo and #Daddy_A.

I do note that I did not call any of my other nephews to tell them that. I called the one that I knew would listen to me.

Still, I wonder whether other parents and adult family members were doing their jobs when their child was young enough to listen whenever I see a 20-something post exactly that kind of content.
