60 Minutes Australia - One Click From Disaster (Sexting Story)

Just one click. That's all it takes to wreck a young life forever.

We are talking about sexting. It's what happens when hormones and technology collide.

Teenagers send explicit photos of themselves to people they think they can trust.

But, all too often, their faith is misplaced and the pictures end up in the wrong hands.

It's embarrassing, of course. Permanent, too, because once a photo is launched into cyberspace, it's out there forever.

And that's not the worst thing that can happen, far from it.
