Footnote

b Using a mobile phone to send sexually explicit messages, photos, or videos is called sexting. Depending on the facts, it may require that the elders form a judicial committee. In some cases, government authorities have even charged teenagers as sex offenders because they were involved in sexting. For more information, go to the jw.org website and read the online article “Young People Ask​—What Should I Know About Sexting?” (Look under BIBLE TEACHINGS > TEENAGERS.) Or see the article “How to Talk to Your Teen About Sexting” in the Awake! issue of November 2013, pages 4-5.
