What is Sexting and Sending Naked Content?

Sexting and sending nude content is when someone shares a sexual , a naked or half-naked woman , a video or a lewd message with another person. It doesn't have to be a nude picture of themselves, it could be someone else's picture.

 

What are the risks of Sexting?

It is important to talk to your child about the dangers of sexting and let them know that someone may come and push you to send or share nude content. Some of the dangers of sexting or sending and sharing nudity for children and young people are:

  • Losing control of images, videos or messages and how they are shared. Once something is shared online, it is public and can be saved or copied by others.
  • Blackmail, intimidation and bodily harm. Young people can share their photos, messages or videos without their consent or intimidate them. This can lead to bad feelings such as anxiety or embarrassment and shame.

Support your child if he / she has done it Sexting

If your child sends, shares or receives sexual messages, photos or videos, you may feel upset, angry or confused. It is natural to feel this. Your children may also feel anxious to talk about what happened, but there are ways you can reassure them.

    • Trying not to yell at them, or make them feel it is their fault. They may be worried and need your help and advice.
    • Reassuring and supportive - remind them that they can always talk to you, another trusted adult or Childline.
    • Ask open-ended questions like "what happened?" instead of asking "why did you do it", as this may prevent them from opening up to you.
    • Talk to them about how to behave with others on the Internet, what is the appropriate online behavior
    • Reminding them that people may not always be what they say, so they should be careful when talking to someone they do not know
    • Schools can monitor the situation of children and prevent the sharing of images or videos. They can also support any other affected children by having a counseling service where children can talk about their concerns.
    • Explore the social networks, applications and games that children use.

  • Contact CEOP if you are worried about a child sending nude pictures, videos or sexual messages.
  • Report the image to Internet Monitoring Foundation (IWF). Your child may need a copy of his / her ID to confirm that he / she is under 18 years old.

    • Sending sexual messages to a child
    • A child taking a clear photo or video of himself or a friend
    • Share a picture or video of a child, even if shared with children of the same age
    • Already have, download or save a picture or video of a child, even if the child has given permission to download.
