Teens, Technology and Your Program: Some Social & Legal Implications
May 19, 2015 10:00 am to 11:15 AM
What are your responsibilities if youth in your programs are engaged in cyber bullying? What do you do if teens are sexting or otherwise sending sexually explicit material to one another, especially in light of the recent criminalization of these activities for minors? For a discussion of these and other technology related issues, please join legal representatives from the Juvenile Law Center and the Defender Association of Philadelphia. Get your questions answered, find out what the law says and learn what strategies your peers are using in their programs to address these matters.
