Sextortion or blackmail with nudes

Blackmail with nudes

Sextortion (where someone threatens to share or use intimate images to pressure or blackmail a young person) is something more and more young people are encountering online. It can start in ways that feel normal, like chatting or sharing images, but quickly become stressful and confusing.

This youth-friendly video is designed to watch together, helping you open up a calm and supportive conversation about sending and sharing images, the pressures young people can face, and how situations can change quickly.

It also helps your child understand their choices, recognise when something doesn’t feel right, and know that they can come to you for support, no matter what’s happened.
