Unfortunately, sexting does happen and it is important to know what to do about it. Remember that once an image is sent the sender is no longer in control of the situation.

If you receive a sexting photo, you must not forward it on to anyone else. Sending the photo to someone else may be illegal and you could be accused of sharing child pornography. Instead, you should tell an adult what is going on and let them deal with it. They will know what to do.
