Italian Teens Send Nude Photos on the Internet; Survey Says They Do It to Receive Money, Gifts

The Life in Italy website reports today (December 17, 2010) that 14 percent of Italian teenagers send photos of themselves naked on the Internet, in order to receive gifts such as money or having their cell phone recharged, according to a survey that just came out this week.

Ten percent of these children are 15-years-old, the survey found.

The association Save the Children said the data was "worrisome."

The figures emerged as a result of a national convention for the Italian Society of Gynecology and Midwives about adolescents and Internet-related risks.
