Children as young as 12 are becoming victims of revenge porn ‘because they can’t say ‘no’ to sexting and sharing nude selfies and videos, NSPCC warns
School children have been targeted for the crime even though it is illegal for them to engage in sexual relationships and share explicit images in the first place.
Much of the embarrassing footage of young teens has been shared on Facebook and other social media – leading to calls for a crack down by the NSPCC today.
Tony Stower, NSPCC head of Child Safety Online, said: ‘It is shocking that young children are becoming victims of revenge porn and underlines that it is time for social media companies to be held to account for the material on their sites.
‘Sharing nude selfies or videos can put young people at risk of bullying by peers or being targeted by adult sex offenders, so it’s vital that parents talk to their children, and that young people feel empowered to say no to sexting requests.’
Mark Burns-Williamson, West Yorkshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner, said: ‘Revenge porn is a deeply personal crime and can have a truly devastating impact on its victims.’
This is the result of porn culture on children. A culture that is defended by liberal feminists and neo liberals alike.
