Data shows that thousands of children have been dealt with by the police for sexting. If you’re a parent or teacher, we’d like you to share your experiences
A boy as young as five has been investigated for sexting, according to freedom of information data gathered by the BBC. If you’re a parent, guardian or teacher, we’d like to know if you think enough is being done to tackle sexting among young people.
More than 4,000 children have been dealt with by police for sexting since 2013, with the majority involved mainly aged 13 or 14 years old.
Helen Westerman, NSPCC campaigns manager, said that while some children may give images voluntarily for a risk or a dare, others may be coerced into it in some way.
“They may have been put under pressure by friends, peers or partners ... Once the picture has been sent they can’t get it back and the consequences of that can be devastating for the young people involved,” she said.
