How awful!! I have never, and will never, sent anyone nude pictures of myself, even to people I know. Who knows what could happen or where they’d end up!

Online safety is really a big issue in today’s society. This practice is far too frequent to be acceptable. I hope the boy involved is all right.

there are some crazy silly people in this world. Kids unfortunately don’t realise that online means forever!!!

  yeah they just don’t have that concept or they think that it won’t happen to them

yeah i just don’t understand this whole obsession! stop sending pics to strangers!

Glad they caught the person. Education is not always they key as some teenagers think they know best

Education around online communication is so important these days. As parents we really need to push online safety and privacy messages from a young age.

So very important to educate and re-educate kids about this stuff constantly. How terrible for this boy.

Unbelievable!! I hope they will be able to catch that person before he/she starts blackmailing more people!!

The internet really does have a dark side. I hope young people stop doing this sort of thing

Good grief, how awful for that poor boy and his family. I’m sure he’s learned a valuable lesson but how awful and scary for him. A good read for parents to remind them to talk with their kids and keep them safe online and with mobile phones. Teenagers aren’t always very good at seeing the big picture.
