subject: Protect Your Home Computer From Sexting & Inappropriate Internet Messaging [print this page] Sexting Scandal Involving Even Government Officials
Sexting and the sending or receiving of inappropriate sexual internet messaging is a growing problem with our techno-savvy world. What once seemed like a problem between children and teenagers is even becoming an ever present force with our adult population. Only through awareness education about what should be considered inappropriate messaging to send and receive, as well as, the use of a key logger, or what others might call computer spy software, can we protect everyone from this digital threat.
A recent horror that is coming to light in Madison Wis. is the catching of Calumet County District Attorney Ken Kratz "sexting" with a domestic abuse victim he was on the case of. The governor of the state, Jim Doyle (who has a long career serving as no-nonsense prosecutor defending victims) is now dealing with the issue, and trying to use the rarely used state law that gives the governor power to remove district attorneys with just cause. Reports say Kratz, who sent a strangulation victim over 30 text messages in 3 days, contacted the victim soon after their first interaction. With text messages saying wildly inappropriate things, as well as suggestions that he might reduce the sentence of the victim's assailant if she didn't comply with request, the situation quickly spiraled out of control.
With the ease in which you can message someone on their cell phone, this type of interaction is what I fear will only become more common. Becoming aware of what is happening around you is important, because sexting over phones or the internet is rapidly becoming an everyday problem for children and adults alike. Cell phones can be hard to monitor but make sure you at least protect yourself by using a key logger or computer spy software on your home computer. You can defend yourself against digital threats and the possibility that there already is inappropriate material already existing on your computer.
