Last Tuesday evening my 12 yr old dd told me that a group of Y8 children at her school are in a whatsapp chat group, she’d been invited into the chat and was worried because some of the children were sharing a nude picture of another y8 boy and discussing it (comments about penis size so sounds like a full frontal pic). They were sharing the pic via dm so thankfully she didn’t see it. From what she could gather the boy in question had sent a nude selfie to another boy who had then shared it with other children. She didn’t know who the original boy was or if he knew what was happening but didn’t think he was in the chat group.
I explained to her that she was right to tell me and told her I would inform the school. I emailed the school and next day the office emailed to say it had been forwarded to the head and lead safeguarding person. That teacher spoke to dd and said because they didn’t know who the nude student was they couldn’t do anything.
I had expected them to email Y8 parents to warn them what’s been happening and maybe talk to Y8 students about the risks, appropriateness (and legality) of sharing such material. AIBU to have expected the school to have done something to raise awareness?
Should I do anything else?
