My 12 year old sent a nude on Snapchat

A) discuss the trust that you had placed I her when she was given the cell phone. B) talk about the consequences of her actions. Those boys can do whatever they want with that photo. It could end up online, or shared with other boys, or sent out to other students. Bullies could get ahold of it. It could come up if future employers google search her. This choice has potential far reaching consequences. C) make sure she knows that you don’t think any less of her, or love her any less. She made a mistake. A pretty big one, but not the worst thing she could ever do. She is still learning and will need help dealing with all of the consequences of her actions. D) make sure she is alright. If this had happened to me...I would have been mortified... devastated... feel betrayed... to have a boy (that you could potentially have a crush on) talk you into sending a nude only to screenshot it... I would be feeling violated. E) talk to the school about informing the boys parents. If it hasn’t already been done, the parents need to know, so that they can teach these boys right from wrong.
