According to the survey, over 70 percent of sexually active students age 10-12 have sent explicit text messages, 84 percent have received them and more than half have sent naked or semi-nude photos or videos of themselves.
“It appears to be happening universally and, while we need to be aware of the harm that can come if those messages are sent out far and wide or misused, it does not appear to be doing harm for the majority of kids,” Mitchell noted in a Sydney Morning Herald report.
