Friends dd Tiltok has PayPal invite and pics in underwear

Nooz · 08/10/2020 23:11

Just as above, I'm talking with my 16 yr old son about him and his friends online things, he's showing me who he knows, what he finds funny, what he's posted nice chat the subject turns to what others he knows are up to...a friend in a city far from us dd is on there as it's mentioned in phone calls 'oh dd is doing a tiktok' and so we have a look. Good grief, 27k followers very very sexualised, shots in underwear and down her top.
The headline on the account is a PayPal.me address. She is 16

I'm aware of the seriousness from a safeguarding POV, I have to share this with the parents but

AIBU to ring? Text first? They are a long way away and I know it's a difficult relationship and this is not my dd.

I'm not asking if to act, but how best to. Any thoughts appreciated.

Big thanks x

Best get it stopped before shes charged with creating and distributing child pornography. That's a mark on your record that will end any decent career

Id just message saying that you and your son had been talking social media and he mentioned their daughters tiktok and showed you. Did they know what it contained? If not, maybe have a look, if they do sorry for messaging. Hope you're well etc. Leave it so no reply is necessary. They may be mortified.

Because that’s the law?

It is possible if somebody has stolen her pictures and is using them. I would contact her parents and let them know that you think their daughter's Tik Tok account has been compromised.

Nooz · 09/10/2020 08:58

Thank you for the intro @ReallyLazy and to everyone here for voicing concerns that also sit with me. @Hydrate there is no chance of this, sadly, a long story behind this and the dd is stunning looking, it's her own choice.
I'm texting them to ask to chat if they're free this morning x

My DD is about to turn 16. I’d absolutely want to know and would appreciate a call from a well intentioned friend.

You’ll know the family well enough I’m sure @Nooz to know how the news might go down. I really hope it goes ok telling them.

As long as its not nude I don't think it counts as CP?

@Nooz the way you've written it up suggests the parents already know that she has tiktok and what she's doing on it as they are encouraging you to have a look?

NiceandCalm · 09/10/2020 14:47

I hope the conversation goes well. You are absolutely doing the right thing. My DSD used to post revealing pics on FB until I told her Dad, she stopped. Tbh, I don't think she fully realised that it was quite public, thought she was just sharing with mates. Your friends daughter however, seems well aware and is exploiting herself.

Nooz · 09/10/2020 21:24

@DowntonCrabby @NiceandCalm much appreciated dd parent pov! thank you for your encouraging words and good thought... the call went well and I'm glad because they weren't aware of the PayPal, it's in the right hands now and our connection, if at all changed, feels stronger. Until the next dilemma, big thanks, Nooz X

Glad it went well, OP

Well done on taking decisive action. Many people would think it’s none of their business. You did the right thing. And also it’s good that her parents appreciated what you have done
