I have never posted before and don't want people to think I am over=reacting but I made a discovery yesterday that has left me physically ill. I was sorting through some papers my 12 year old daughter inadvertently left behind and found an envelope that had been sent to her. For some reason I looked into it. It contained a semi-pornographic set of photos my daughter had received. They were from a fairly well known TV personality. The first was what I would call a "racey" semi-nude photo of him taken for some campaign (animal welfare) group. The second was simply soft porn. He had sent three from different angles. Not hard porn but, well, he was naked.
The note accompanying said that he appreciated her interest in the campaign he was working on--and hoped she was enjoying school. So he knew her age. I've now discovered that she has these, and other photos, on her facebook account.
I am stunned. I don't think an adult, especially someone in the media, should send photos like these to a child. I called the Canadian High Commission (were Canadians) and they said I should call the police. Am I over-reacting? I haven't told my husband as he will go crazy. Should I tell the other mothers (my daughter has sent these photos around)? From their comments he has sent them photos too. I feel ill...as if my daughter is being cultivated. I just want to pack up and go home.
