Abstract

It monitors the prevalence of this phenomenon, focuses on the forms of sharing of these sexual materials on the Internet and describes children's motivation for such sharing. It also focuses on the dangers of this phenomenon and the consequences of sexting implementation (damage of one's reputation, cyber bullying, suicides, etc.). The paper is an outcome of an original survey which was carried out by the author in cooperation with other researchers from The Centre for the Prevention of High-risk Virtual Communication at the Faculty of Education at Palacký University in Olomouc. The survey was conducted in 2011 on a sample of 10,000 respondents aged 11-17.
