Sextortion prevention should move beyond 'stranger danger'
Offenders create rapid intimacy, impersonate peers and convert images into leverage.
What to doTeach children what to do after a mistake, not only how to avoid one.
FIRST-RESPONSE Open the sextortion first-response steps▸
You’re not in trouble. A child threatened over images is the victim of a crime. Take a breath — these steps work. Immediate danger: call 911.
- Do not pay. It rarely stops the demands. Already paid? Keep the receipt as evidence and continue.
- Do not delete anything. Screenshot the messages, threats, payment demand, and the offender’s profile before blocking.
- Stop communicating with the offender once evidence is saved.
- Block, then report to the platform using its exploitation-of-minors path.
- Report to NCMEC & FBI; use Take It Down to stop image spread.
