To think it's absolutely not ok for teens to receive d*ck pics

[nomorechoco]

I randomly asked my 14 year old daughter if she's ever been sent a dick pic (off the back of an article I'd read earlier) and she said yes she'd been sent them on Snapchat by old guys and she just blocked them.

Now I don't use Snapchat but I think I'm right that you can't receive random messages from people unless they've asked to be added and you've okayed it?

Apparantly I'm making a big fuss over nothing and friends of hers have had much worse. So am I? Surely it's illegal to send these to minors (or anyone?). I think they should be reported to Snapchat at the very least and obviously she shouldn't be adding anyone she doesn't know.

Should I be doing more - monitoring her account etc.? I think so but I don't want her to regret telling me anything and just go underground with her activity.

The whole thing makes me feel sick. I'd love to take her off social media altogether but know it's better to teach her how to use it responsibly. God - why can't some men just keep it in their pants!

@Wonderingforever there’s a great app called Quostodio that works and also can monitor ‘incognito’ mode - as standard. No need to do any special setting.
it goes on your phone and their phone - so your kids know it’s there and you can set times for apps, games, screw time, block site, get alerts etc etc
We love it, our kids don’t! But as we all know it’s there it’s a good reminder to them that anything online or sent on a phone can be read, copied, shared etc by anyone.

God almighty.
