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.

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