[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to immediately call the police.  A detective in Special Victims will come to your home (or ask you to come to the precinct) to meet with you and your daughter.  The detective will get a warrant to retrieve the photo from SnapChat.  Do not wait.  Call the police right now.  [/quote]

This is utter madness. The boys life will be ruined for one silly mistake.[/quote]

I’m wondering how this poster and others who agree with him/her would feel about parents reporting girls who send nudes to the police.  My son has received several unsolicited nudes from girls who have crushes on him.  He simply deletes them and moves on with his life.  But perhaps we should have reported these girls to the police so their lives could be ruined over their own stupid mistakes.

Somehow, it’s only when boys pull this crap that parents threaten contacting the police.  Ridiculous.[/quote]

I'm the PP w/an 8th grade son and I would definitely reach out to parents and/or get advice from the school if my son was receiving explicit photos of girls. For exactly the reason that another PP said: this is behavior that lead to terrible consequences for all involved, including the sender. I don't think the police are warranted but I wouldn't want my kid just to delete the photos like it's no big deal. As parents we cannot let this behavior become normalized (a word I hate) even if it's common. We have to reinforce that this is a big f-ing deal, incredibly stupid and ultimately really dangerous.

Think of it this way: I'm ancient and when I was a kid, it was pretty standard for kids to drink and drive. We knew it was wrong and risky but we did it anyway. It was only when parents/society campaigned around stopping it, that rates of DUI crashes declined. We should treat sexting the same way, whether it's a boy or a girl who does it.[/quote]
