Not for the OP - she rocks and her DSD should thank her enormously.
This is for the pearl clutches amongst you that object so strongly to the term child pornography.
Down here in the colonies ( Australia) the term child pornography is interchangeable with indecent image in one state, child abuse material in another state, depraved image in another state and so on.
Not all our states and legislatures have altered the wordings of the law to 'child abuse material", so yes the words child pornography appear in our legislation. As they do in a number of Parliamentary reports and judicial reviews. Heck - some even roll with definitions of child pornography - imagine that!
I saw fit to comment as the baseline legislation is the same here federally as it is in the UK.
Production, distribution, making of indecent images is illegal for anyone under 18. The UK has teens on the sex offender registry for doing just that, as do we in Australia.
While police tend to act with discretion in most of these matters, not all of them do.WE have had a case here where a teen was in the same circumstance as the OP described and she was arrested and had a warning placed on file - nothing for the dudes encouraging her.
Furthermore, I have attended conferences with UK professionals in this area and they aren't hung up on the language - they are more interested in results.
There is a contextual difference between informing a parent that their child is producing child abuse material or child pornography.
Furthermore, I have not stated I am a safeguarding officer at any point, for those so , so , so concerned - I have passed a working with children check - and am fairly sure the world will not end with me continuing in the job I currently do.
While @NCKitten is accurate in stating that no one can consent legally under the age of 18 the child is not , as yet- being forced to do what she is. NC is wrong in saying that the child is not putting herself at risk. She is both putting herself at risk ( following along from the OP's statement that she is wilfully ignoring internet safety recommendations) and at risk of child sexploitation as a result of the material she is posting.
Completely abjuring a child from responsibility is not helpful, though almost 95% of the blame sits with her parents for inadequate parenting and supervision.
Most teenagers can run rings around their parents with social media. I spend my days taking apart social media accounts and finding breaches of security and material that will cause legal issues for schools and their students so wanking on smugly about my language use has really irritated me. Teen social media use is an out of control social experiment, and the effect it is having on the mental health of the young is beyond worrying. The law is so far behind the game it is not even vaguely funny, so hearing quibbles about word usage strikes me as about as useful as the Paris Climate change agreement.
I could care less about the words I use , if it will stop a teenager destroying their digital footprint for life or opening themselves up to predators through the stupidity of themselves and their parents.
I'm done.
