West Midlands pupils investigated over 'sexting'

West Mercia and Warwickshire Police say 107 children were investigated over offences related to "sexting" activities last year.

This is when youngsters share explicit or naked photos of themselves and friends on social media or by text.

Officers from both forces are visiting schools teaching them the dangers of "sexting" and urging them to pause before they send something which they may later regret.

It is part of a campaign launched to coincide with Safer Internet Day on Tuesday.
