Florida changes laws related to sexting

By Alyssa Averette - WUFT-FM

Whether they're on the road or taking a school exam, the overuse of cellphones and texting are a widespread problem among teenagers.

Florida's 89.1 WUFT-FM's Alyssa Averette reports on changes stemming from Florida's new sexting statute.
