  Case: Sexting
Kathy overhears a male student from another class prompting a girl to send him nude pictures on his phone. She feels the suggestions were in humor. She does tell the responsible teacher that the students were being inappropriate through email, but it is one whole day before the teacher is able to get in contact with her to find out who the students involved were and the nature of the inappropriate behavior. Did Kathy handle this situation appropriately? What could she have done differently? Would it be appropriate for her to be held accountable if the situation were to escalate?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Kathy was completely in the right here. Even if in jest, asking for nudes from a peer ranges from unprofessional to downright sexual harassment. Kathy also can't tell if the requestee was comfortable with the request, which also greatly impacts how serious the situation is. Kathy also shouldn't be held accountable for what escalates from this, because all she did was report highly inappropriate behavior that she herself did not engage in.
