New Jersey Bill Would Make Texting While Walking Illegal
TOMS RIVER, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — A new bill in New Jersey would make it illegal for people to text while walking.
CBS2’s Meg Baker reported Thursday the bill calls for a fine of up to $50, 15 days behind bars, or both, if people are caught texting while walking.
“If a person on the road — whether walking or driving — presents a risk to others on the road, there should be a law in place to dissuade and penalize risky behavior,” Democratic Assemblywoman Pamela Lampitt, who sponsored the bill, told CBS2.
CBS2 reports that since 2010, there has been a 35 percent increase nationally in the number of accidents related to distracted pedestrians.
“Pay attention to what you’re doing at that
moment. Don’t split your time with your phone, with coversations, with anything else,” Al Della Fave of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office told CBS2.
People in Toms River had mixed opinions on the proposed bill.
“I think it’s a pretty silly
thing. All the problems we have in the world, we have to worry about somebody walking down the street texting. Maybe some of these politicians should worry about real problems we have in New Jersey,” Michael Graichen said.
“I have been bumped into numerous individu-
als who are looking at their phone while walking and they slam right into me,” one woman told 1010 WINS’ John Montone.
“I don’t know if it should be a law, but I think that we should make people more aware,” she added later.
One person said, “Their heads are down, they’re texting and not paying attention to what they are doing.”
Terrance O’Neal agreed that people should put down their phones while crossing an intersection.
“Now crossing the street and texting, you probably should get fined for that. Probably should get a ticket for crossing the street and texting,” he told CBS2.
A date has not been set for when the bill will be voted on.

Children As Young As Seven Are Sexting, Research Finds
By Sarah Cassidy Children as young as seven are using social media to share sexual messages, pictures or videos, research has found.
More than half of teachers said they knew of pupils who had used social media for “sexting”, the poll by the NASUWT teach- ers’ union said.
A quarter of the 1,300 teachers polled knew of pupils involved in sexting who were as
young as 11, but the youngest child reported was just seven. The majority of the pupils involved were aged between 13 and 16.
In one incident a girl persuaded a boy to take a picture of his genitals and send it to her. She then shared the image with other pupils. Teachers also report- ed incidents where pupils had filmed themselves mastur- bating.
Chris Keates, the gener- al secretary of the NASUWT, said: “Over the three years the NASUWT has been run- ning this survey, the situ- ation has deteriorated.”
An NSPCC spokesman said: “Apart from expos- ing them to bullying when images are shared, it could make children targets for sex offenders in some cases.” The charity called for better sex and relationships education in schools.
