"1. Give me a tour of your cell phone. Any cool features or tricks you can do with your cell phone?

"2. Show me how you take a photo with the phone. How do you send it to another email or phone?

"3. Where do you save the photos? Show me what you've got saved. …

"4. Has anyone ever sent or shown you a sexy photo of themselves or someone else?

"5. Anyone ever asked for your photo? If yes, how did you handle it? If no, what would you do and why?"

How can we stop a sexting proliferation? First, parents no longer should pass out cell phones like pancakes to their families, and parents should monitor how the phones are used. Guardians need to reconsider purchasing cell phones for communication and security when children are using them for seduction and porn. Teens need to be educated about sexual illegalities and immoralities and reminded that if convicted of child pornography crimes, they could face felony consequences and see the words "sex offender" on their juvenile records.

We might live in a technological wonderland, but that doesn't mean it's good to eat from all of its fruits. Most especially, we never should throw up our hands in surrender to marketing and peer pressure to give our kids everything the Joneses have, especially when those things expose them to others' exposing themselves. As a wise man said many centuries ago (well, sort of), "If your cell phone causes you to stumble, cut it off from your family's communication plan."

It's time not only to answer the question "do you know where your kids are this spring break?" but also to know what they're doing with their cell phones.
