12 yr old taking photos of his penis

[Annoy]

I work this on pre teens a few days ago but haven’t had any responses.

I just want to know what to do, if it’s normal?!

Worst case scenario is he’s sending them to some one, but I’ve checked all through his phone and can’t see where or how. I’ve even looked at apps he’s had downloaded and deleted but there are non. He has parental restrictions, which means he can’t download certain apps. And I get a ping when he’s downloaded new ones.

I found them in his deleted file… a video too! which he obviously doesn’t know exists! He knows I do random phone checks.

I don’t even know how to bring this up with him!

Time for a sit down and a chat and make it very clear to him that it is against the law for him to send these photos to someone, also you need to establish exactly who he is talking to online and how he met them.

Don’t go nuclear on him though or he won’t talk to you about things in future.

Thank you! I’ve been trying to bring it up with him over the past week, but keep bottling!! 😬

Check if his phone automatically uploads pictures to a cloud service.

Just make sure there isn't a predatory adult co-ercing him into sending pictures
