[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have time to read all the comments but I am a lawyer and I hope numerous people, including the prosecutor above, have pointed out that any distribution of nude photos by children, even if of themselves, is the distribution of child pornography.  If you've learned anything from Law & Order, you should know that.  This tripped up a mother at our school who reported pix being sent to her DD.  What she didn't know what that her daughter was distribution photos of herself.  The FBI was brought in, computers confiscated and DD wasn't allowed to graduate with middle school class.  Be very very careful if you catch your children doing this and shut it down immediately.[/quote]
[b]OP here. What would you recommend me to do in our case? Thank you.[/quote][/b]

Hi OP.  Lawyer back.  PPs immediately above are correct.  Depending on the facts of your situation, but given as stated, I would tell you to first educate yourself about how anyone sending photos or anyone under age 18 is committing the felony of distribution of pornography.  This can include pix of the sender.  Any nude pix of anyone under 18 being sent is pornography.  The law is very clear on this.  Check your child's facebook, phones, secret phones, burner phones and computer for anything they may have sent.  YOU DO NOT WANT TO CALL IN THE POLICE at this stage.  The woman in my private did it but didn't know at the time that her own daughter was sending out photos.  She naively thought the Dd was just a recipient.  wrong.  Once that happens (police and FBI are involved), the local police turn it over to the FBI and next thing you know all the computers in your home will be ripped out.  DO NOT TELL THE SCHOOL.  In the incident cited, the DD was not allowed to graduate with her class.  I would urge caution.  Learn the law in your jurisdiction.  Check all of your child's media accounts thorougly.  Talk to them about the dangers.  Tell them that any reporting is going to be humiliating to all involved, costly and she will experience loss of computer (the ultimate punishment for a teen!).  Take away screens, Iphones and computers.  Check to see if your local police force will give an interview on the dangers of the internet to your child.  Ours did so DD could write a report.  She came away stunned having learned that her "safe places' on the internet were not safe at all.[/quote]
