The FBI has seen a huge increase in the number of cases involving children and teens being threatened and coerced into sending explicit images online—a crime called sextortion.
Sextortion can start on any site, app, messaging platform, or game where people meet and communicate. In some cases, the first contact from the criminal will be a threat. The person may claim to already have a revealing picture or video of a child that will be shared if the victim does not send more pictures.
More often, however, this crime starts when young people believe they are communicating with someone their own age who is interested in a relationship or with someone who is offering something of value.
After the criminals have one or more videos or pictures, they threaten to publish that content, or they threaten violence, to get the victim to produce more images. The shame, fear, and confusion children feel when they are caught in this cycle often prevents them from asking for help or reporting the abuse. Caregivers and young people should understand how the crime occurs and openly discuss online safety.
Sex is one of the basic human needs along with safety, hunger, sleep etc. Being hungry is not a shame, the same apply to sex. Dear friends, always report them and let them publish. Those who love you, would love you the same. Those who don’t love you, you shouldn’t care about. Normal people would look at you the same. Those who are not normal, shouldn’t be your interest. You didn’t break any law. They are the only ones who break the law.
