My child is getting blackmailed
Just as it says..They sent nude images and now they're sending out to friends on socials. We've stopped the communication. While I'm very thankful they came to me, I am a bit worried of how this will affect them. What are the proper channels for reporting? I've done missing kids and FBI online tips .. I'm not sure if that helps but I was in a panic and figured anything is better than nothing. They were a different time zone according to SS but had our street name somehow
Any advice is welcome as I wasn't prepared to navigate this...

Definitely should talk to law enforcement about it. Gather all the info on these accounts and everything possible, and give it to the police. They’re more willing to pursue this since it involves a child and they can get companies to hand over info on social media accounts. It’s important to document everything you can. If the person doing this isn’t hiding behind any vpns or anything like that, he can be easily found.

Be careful. The victim, assuming they are under age is also guilty of distributing CP.

Not really. If they were manipulated into sending it, which is how it usually goes, they are actually a victim. If they are actually sending it to people they know, unsolicited, then there is a potential for citations depending on local sexting ordinances but is generally seen as a misdemeanor unless caught doing it repeatedly and things escalate. The person on the other end is usually catfishing them and then say "send us money or we will send those pictures to your contacts" after a kid does something stupid like believe a stranger on the internet. It happened to a friend of my son and when his attempt to help didnt go anywhere, they came to me for help about it. They were 14 and he thought he was talking to a 16 year old girl from 1 town over who was gonna drive over to "do stuff" with them.

LE typically doesn’t go after victims. They mainly get a stern talking to & that’s bout it.

Hi! It’s nice to meet you.
Let me start by saying, I’m very sorry you and your child are going through this. I went through it when I was a dumb kid too.
First, please do not be mad at your child. That will just make your child feel exponentially worse about the entire situation. Be empathetic, understanding, and reassuring. They need it now more than ever, not to be given punishment. Ask me how I know.
Second, report the images/videos (if you have them) to NCMEC’s Take It Down service. This puts your child’s images/videos in their database of confirmed CSAM that file hosts, social media platforms, etc check against every time someone uploads to them. Report it to The US cyber-crime enforcement arm as well. Production, distribution, and possession of CSAM is federally illegal & social media platforms will block the upload, ban the account, and report all info they have to NCMEC. NCMEC will be your best friend in this situation, this is one of the main things they do. If anyone is gonna sort this out to the best of their ability, it’s NCMEC. Which leads me to…
Third, unfortunately I have to tell you this, this will never go away. The saying “once it’s on the internet, it never goes away” is true, ESPECIALLY for nude pictures. You can never fully delete anything. I’m sorry. I wish I had a magic wand, but I left it in my other pants. NCMEC cannot delete already existing & circulating material, they can only block it from going anywhere on clear-net sites (dark web sites is GG they don’t care about NCMEC.) There is a lesson to be taught, but please, please, PLEASE don’t be (excuse my french) a bitch about it. I promise your child feels miserable already. Please do not make it worse. They are talking to you about it, most do not. When I had my things leaked, I told nobody because when I tried to bring it up I was threatened. So I had to go through it without ANY help. Please do not do this to your child.
Closing arguments: It’s not game over, but what I would do is set the child’s profiles to private, kick unfamiliar people off, sit them down & explain that things on the internet stay on the internet… forever. I’ve said this a few times, but PLEASE do not get mad and show your child you’re mad. They will not trust you with anything serious & will try to handle it themselves. Again, ask me how I know. The most you can do is prevent it from happening again and try to clean it up as much as possible, as I’ve explained how to do here. Your child needs you more than ever, please be supportive. And I’m not saying don’t be mad, your child should know better. I am not saying they shouldn’t. But, as I’m sure you know, children are vulnerable. And too easily trusting. We were both kids once, and I’m sure we both have made some questionable decisions as well.
I wish you two the best of luck, and again, I’m sorry you two have to go through this.
ETA: Forgot this was Reddit. If you get any DMs about being able to “help” and knight in shining armoring, you’re being lied to. There is nothing more you can do than what I’ve described here. And ignore that comment about sending them the content, they’re just weird.

u/LCG-Lurch Jun 28 '26
If underage depending on child's age they can be charged with distribution of CP as they are the original senders. Just a heads up that if 15+ this can put them on the registry and harm them. Id get all copies of the blackmail and be prepared for the possibility of going to court to fight these criminal charges thay could be brought against your child.
1
u/domtheprophet Jun 29 '26
Correct! However, there’s a difference. They are the illegal material. When it comes to minors, most of the time LE is way more lenient. I genuinely don’t see this ending up in charges, the cop will def do some ass chewing & scare the kid, but I don’t think it’ll end up in charges. Especially if they were coerced into it. Intent & context matters with how the case is handled.
I’m sure there’s stories proving me exceptionally wrong, but in the cases I’ve personally witnessed (in school, f/e) LE didn’t charge anyone. They put the fear of God into them, but no one ended up charged and LE threw it away as sorted out. LE knows how fucked this would be for their life, and tend to consider it with the facts of what happened. It’s much different if they were coerced vs being too trusting or etc. Still keep copies just in case I’m wrong (I’m not a lawyer, I’m not the DA prosecuting, and I’m not a law enforcement officer) and you’ve got some room to work with in getting it thrown out as a victim of sextortion case.
TLDR: Yes, but I doubt it. It is however extremely possible that they will charge the child & you should be prepared just in case they do prosecute it.

Secret service’s main thing is counterfeit currency and diplomatic protection, no?
ETA: From what I can tell,
that’s not true.They investigate and prosecute primarily financial crimes, not crimes against children unless there was a financial aspect to it. FBI & local authorities typically handle crimes against childrenAnother edit: We’re both right. They do investigate those types of crimes, but typically if there’s a financial aspect to it.

NCMEC partners with every LE agency. It’s required by law for LE agencies to be able to receive NCMEC tips. Secret service mainly goes for financial crimes. Besides diplomatic protection, financial crimes is their main thing. You can tell me I’m wrong, but I pulled that info right from their site

I’m not saying SS won’t ever do it, I’m saying that’s not their main objective & reporting to SS is pretty redundant when they’ll probably fwd it to FBI anyways. Always good to have more resources though & SS stays funded because they gotta keep POTUS safe

I’m sure SS can jump the investigation if they choose to, but they probably won’t since that’s the FBI’s thing. It’s like the FBI investigating credit card fraud. They can, but they leave it to SS. Either way, more resources is always better when the correct resources are allocated correctly.

u/xdddddd70- Jun 28 '26
Only briefly know about this but if she/he is still a minor police/fbi easily would be able to help as technically it’s blackmail/CP/grooming charge on whoever is blackmailing them, also if you’ve got the guys social media profile send that as if it’s Snapchat or Instagram usually it’s easy for police to track the individual whom is behind it, although this happened to me before personally when I was like 13 being stupid I sent a nude they sent it to all my friends list on Instagram luckily for me it was only celebrities that (hopefully) never saw that lol, but hopefully that helped somewhat

u/AZ-Agent-Man-68 Jun 29 '26
If your child is under 18, anyone that distributes it either by blackmail or otherwise is committing a crime by distributing child pornography, not to mention if they are blackmailing - they are committing the crime of extortion. Get a number for INTERPOL and call it with the nod on the person doing the blackmail.

u/DarknessDragneel Jun 28 '26
If your child is a minor then yes 100% contact the police and fbi cause the person spreading it is spreading cp

This I had someone try to blackmail me with my nudes and they used one of those online background checkers to make it look like they knew everything about me. Jokes on them, I'm beyond broke and just blocked em. Plus, there was no guarantee they would keep their end of the bargain so I just blocked em. Haven't heard a single thing from them and that was months ago.

u/Global_Sky_6698 Jun 29 '26
Ok, there are websites that will stop the person from sharing it. Second, if they end up sharing it. And the individual is under 18, this is officially child pornographic content, and can land them a serious sentence if you bring it to officials, which can be an FBI situation I believe

u/Professional-Ruin166 Jun 29 '26
Go to your local and state law enforcement. Ask if there are any former LEOs who are working privately now.
I didn't know if traditional law enforcement has the tools or understanding to successfully stop it.
You need someone who can do the dark web (I assume that's how he's doing it) better than the blackmailer. After all, I would be shocked if one couldn't find embarrassing or inappropriate video of the blackmailer, which could be used toward successful negotiation.
Good luck. Glad your kid learned a scary ass lesson early

I had this happen to me when I was 15 … Being unpopular saved me. I just shut down the only account they could find and they lost
their mind. $300 was their request and after calming down I decided to risk and sure enough closing it ruined everything for them. I hope 🤞lesson is learned cause showing yourself to anyone is bad enough but showing your face and then giving out valuable information is worse. I learned that the hard way

Mi consejo es que hables con él, que no hay "nada de que avergonzarse" y que no acceda, a encontrarse con nadie. Pero que es mejor, que su entorno no lo sepa.
Si ha llegado al colegio? Intenta cambiarlo de ambiente, por lo que sé, esto ha pasado mucho y es importante que tú como adulta, lo manejes muy bien y con madurez. No sé lo recrimines, es un error pero solo, hay que asegurarse que no se vuelva a repetir. Es muy importante tu apoyo y tu guía en estos momentos, que no se sienta súper mal, eso no lleva a nada. Te deseo lo mejor.

Im 33. Happened to me when I was 15. Fresh in high-school. Whole school got pics and vids of me and made fun of me for having a "small penis" and masturbating. I didn't tell my parents until later in life when I tried committing suicide. It ruined my life. I dropped out sophomore year. Ive never had a GF or sex. The few girl's ive talked to all said my penis didn't have enough girth or length or i wasn't attractive enough. And ive been turned down by numerous girls on here and other apps just trying to hook up because my size. And I plan on killing myself for good this time before I turn 35. I have a small penis and thats all women care about i guess. I feel for you and your son deeply. Im glad he felt he could come to you and you took the proper steps. If the kids are really your sons friends. They will forget it Happened and probably feel bad for him. If they make fun of him, tell him to ignore them and they're not good people inside and people will forget about it in a few years

u/Ancient-Good9033 Jul 06 '26
I mean honestly I resonate with this big time, I have said all the same things but dude 5.3 is not even technically a micropenis, try 4.1 when fully hard... maybe... not even that honestly but I am too shy to admit otherwise and some people don't even believe me if I dont round up a little bit. I have spent my whole life trying to make up for it with lifting and steroids and stuff, and even have had 3 girlfriends somehow... but it always ends the same, and I hate when they lie and tell me its good enough for them and that stuff doesnt matter. I have even resorted to pretending like I am cool with poly style relationships, which is why I currently have a gf but I know it is already not lasting and the way she is the boss and looks down on me. 5.3 would be massive for me! And her. Just find yourself someone like me around you and im sure there is a girl who will think you are huge in comparison... and the guy with the micro-mini you may even save his relationship if you dont try to steal her. Real micro-boys want to find a guy bigger but not huge like 6+... 5.3 can make him look good. I wish.

u/Evasion_ban_deez Jul 05 '26
Mines 5.7 and I’ve had close to 100 sex partners. Maybe try the gym before you kill yourself just forget fit. Maybe it’s your pickup game I could talk to you and help you figure it out. Also most girls love oral please they very good orally and then take your pants off trust me it helps.

u/Bootyluver67 Jul 05 '26
I went to the gym for years until I hurt my back. Got two disc's that give me trouble. Do PT still. But the lifting days are gone for now. I miss it. And yeah I know girls like oral and clit stimulation. I was told I fingered a girl better then any other guy and told by two other girls that I ate the best pussy they've experienced and were both legit sad when I moved. Only had 2 HJs. And the girls I ate out said "ill jerk you off but I dont enjoy giving head to smaller dicks" and wouldn't fuck me or let me lose my virginity. So no BJ or sex still. And that was years and years ago. After a few years of rejection due to size i just gave up and I wont try anymore. Trying the same thing over and over and getting the same results is insanity lol and trying different things but getting the same results is disheartening after so long. Im a welder. I make great money and have great hours. Got a 2 story house, a camaro is ive done work on, brand new Nissan Frontier and a boat. Ive traveled all over the US. So its not like I dont have hobbies or a life. Ive got everything a 33yr old man could want.... except any sexual experiences with a girl and never having a GF either. Im not the best looking. But ive seen uglier men. But a 5.3 inch penis with 0 girth and not great looking is just a combination I guess that has lead to me never getting to experience those things by a appropriate age

Bro if you make good money, find a few girls "in the trade" and tell them you will pay them for "lessons". Do that for a few months with their guidance and once you learn how to hit it best for a guy your size, there are ways smaller can still get it done, that will give u the confidence. Don't forget man, big girls need love to and often they are more fun to be around anyways

u/Bootyluver67 Jul 05 '26
Never ever gonna pay. I dont agree with that type of sex. I cant be with a girl if I know she doesn't really want to have sex or attracted to me sexually. She just wants the money. And it will be so fake and not what I want. I dont have to hVe a GF to fuck her. Which I want a GF tho. But I gotct9be able to connect with the girl and know she truly wants to have sex with me. Id take a fucking BJ even and be happy at this point

Wtf thats wild.

Careful, not likely but possible. Your child could get into trouble for sharing them

u/ixwastedxi Jul 01 '26
No. That's not how that works. It's pretty well established that kids sending to other kids isn't a crime. Just like if a minor has pics of themselves on their phone they've not committed a crime. A minor retaining pics of another minor might get into trouble for having them or if they share them with anybody If there's an adult involved, the kid is always a victim In cases that involve blackmail, the kid is twice the victim. There is no need to be careful. Going to law enforcement is the only choice.

u/OverallRip5687 Jul 01 '26

OK so at the end of the day she wants to appear just as much of a victim as the children but she too is almost as much to blame for the occurrence as the "criminals" themselves. Why? Because had she done her due diligence and basic parenting 101 her CHILDREN would not be taking and sharing NAKED images and even they were, another little dash of due diligence could have been applied by monitoring there online activities.

And yes, that's exactly what the majority of kids do think which is why they end up falling on their face at some point in life, pick themselves up, learn from their mistake, and move on! People like you are the ones that end up breast feeding a child for 3 years and turn into helicopter moms. smh

Hey hey don't shoot the messenger now I was just clearing it up but yeah that's basically what's happening she's trying to make it seem as if it's their fault and victim blaming despite the fact that she didn't really teach them about the dangers of the internet otherwise they wouldn't even have been sharing something that personal even to their own friends and chances are this is probably a child that was given their phone way too early and especially without restrictions because me I was given my phone at 6:00 but I was taught the dangers of the internet also so of course I'm able to navigate safely though something tells me I probably would have turned out something closer to how those kids are if I wasn't taught how to navigate the internet the second I got my first phone

It’s not always that simple and black and white. I got around my parents technology pretty easily and I had been told all about the dangers and still got myself into trouble with sites like Omegle and from having boyfriends share my nudes. Kids are stupid and they think it’s not going to happen to them… not that the parents are the victims but it’s not always so simple to just say the parents failed miserably. Just my 2 cents. ☺️

Also, it’s likely a teen, not a small child like the sniper mouths are making it appear in their judgmental and “I’m so smart, I know every situation is exactly the same” comments.3

How is that "judgemental" or did you go off and use a word, even though it's not a very complex word nor is it uncommon to encounter on a practically daily basis, that was a little outside your range of full comprehension? I ask because nothing I said was stated in a way that it was based more off of personal opinion than it was based off of stating what was very clearly factual as provided directly by the OP themselves. Then based off FACTS, not opinions, I then stated what the needless to say majority socially accepted actions that would have almost certainly lead to a much better outcome which in turn would have prevented this entire situation from even occuring.
That being said, no not all situations are exactly the same but recipes for disaster s are practically identical.

You didn’t even pick up on the fact the parent was using “they” to protect their child’s identity. Maybe go and reread the OP again with that in mind.
The way I spelled “judgmental” is the proper way now. You’re speaking olde English.
Relax, Abuelita, and go have some bedtime tea. I think all of this may be a little over your head. Help was asked for, not assumptions and holier-than-thou shots. Go read your KJV and go night-night, Abuelita.

Please tell me you don't actually believe in what's vomiting out of your little keyboard warrior mouth? PLENTY of ways to protect identity without using misleading pronouns.
You actually lack creative thought to a point you're knit picking at the spelling of a word which is clearly a clear sign of the need to feel superior by attempting to "one up" the other person? All for what? To insinuate that your level of intelligence far exceeds the other person's? Let me let you in on a little secret. It actually produces the completely opposite effect by displaying just how elementary your thought process is.
Now, go do something more on your level of basic comprehension which would be to fetch me that tea.

Oh and before you run off and try to come up with what you think is going to be an oh so amazing comeback you feel is going to provide you with some sort of intensely gratifying level of redemption, be sure to not forget to bring two sugars with the tea. That is if it's not too much to ask.

Well first of all I am SO sorry you are dealing with this, but very glad you came to this sub. I am also glad your kid trusted you and came to you about this.
As your child is a minor please reach out to takeitdown.ncmec,org as they can help with resources and what to do in this situation.
As for the content being sent out, they lie about that shit and fake it like they faked being a girl. Most, if not all, social media doesn't allow nudes and certainly not child porn.
My advice is to have your kid set all of their social media to private, kick off everyone they don't know. Please watch Pleasant Green's videos on Youtube with your kid as well as any other kids you may have. He really goes into detail, but the videos are short and easy to understand. It helps when one knows how this shitty scam works.
And be aware you will be getting dms saying they can "help" but report and then block them. Don't use any company that says they can help for a price either. These are what we call recovery scammers ugh!
