[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read all the other advice above, but why not teach your daughter how to deal with this directly?

It's a great opportunity to help her learn to use her words and set clear boundaries and expectations about how she wants to be treated.  Teach her how to assert herself directly with this kid, and give him a chance to comply.  If he doesn't (i.e. if he sends more pics or harassing texts), then help her escalate things to his parents or the school.

For example, why not help her write a text back to this kid.  Something like, "Don't ever send naked pictures to me again!  I don't want to see them, and it's not ok for you to send them to me or anyone else. Hopefully you get it and will stop.  If not, I'll have to tell your school and mine if you do it again."

Completely agree.  I'm appalled at the PPs insisting OP head directly to the police.  Or even the school administration.  The first thing to do is have OP's daughter confront this issue head-on.  There seems to be this obsession with making girls into helpless victims rather than empowering them from the start.  Of course, if the unwanted attention/behavior continues, even after she tells him to stop, etc. - then yes, parents and admin. will need to get involved.

PPs - not everything is a #Metoo event!  Kids need to learn to advocate for themselves first.  And that goes for either girls OR boys - anyone receiving unwanted attention needs to be given the tools to deal with it directly.  [/quote]
