Police in Cape Breton are concerned about students sending nude photos of themselves to others through texts and emails.
Authorities say over 50 students in the Cape Breton-Victoria Regional School Board have shared hundreds of images – some of them involving explicit sex acts.
Police Chief Peter McIsaac says young people may not realize that what they are doing is a crime.
He says any nude or explicit image of someone under the age of 18 is considered child pornography.
