To report to school as safeguarding

[Macbeth89]

Dc told me that a video of a girl is going round the school of a sexual nature and she was blackmailed by a 21 year old man - the video is doing the rounds and the girl asked everyone to delete video
my dd does not have

I have reported to school who now want to interview dd and she is really upset with me
iv told her that’s abuse and an adult needs to know ri keep her safe otherwise she becomes part of that! I told her it’s a good thing and iv asked the school it won’t come from her.
i did the right thing didn’t I? Dc said they aren’t telling me anything again

You definitely did the right thing. I might have told my DD first, but I definitely would report.

If it was your daughter in the video you would absolutely want someone to report it so yes you were right. It was the only option.

Definitely.

I should have but thought I could do it without her knowing! Hopefully she will see this is for the best abs she may have helped a girl she’s worried her friends will know it’s her

Someone had to step up and do something. It might be embarrassing for the girl involved and your DD but it will help them in the long run.

This is exactly what I told her. I said it could end up going really far if someone doesn’t protect her!

That poor girl. She needed an intervention and you stepped up.

Whatever minor embarrassment she feels at school knowing is a whole lot less than how this might play out in other scenarios.

yes of course you did

no one else need ever know who it was that reported her. Explain to your daughter sometimes we have face a little moment of personal embarrassment in order to help someone else out of a deep hole.

This is what I’m hoping they can stick too although iv told dc that actually she’s done the right thing but ultimately she doesn’t need to tell anyone it was us that reported, however if they did know surely they know she’s helped

You did the right thing. If she's under 16 it's technically child pornography.

You 100% did the right thing. The poor girl, I hope the scumbag who coerced her to do that is caught & don’t doubt yourself.

This happened to a girl I know when we was in school, a picture of her fully naked. The lad sent it to everyone. She moved school. I felt so sorry for her & the same lad decided to tell everyone that he’d done sexual things with me. He was two years older, I was 12 & it wasn’t true at all. I went home absolutely heartbroken to my mum. Didn’t realise my four older brothers heard it.

Next day the four of them where at the school gate 3 o’clock waiting. They didn’t even have to do anything physical but they made the lad tell everyone walking out of the school that it was a lie & all of his mates who thought they were big & hard apologised to me including the lad who lied.

School weren’t interested either. I hope things have changed now. God love her. X

I know I did just feel bad that my dc will now be questioned for something she overheard!
it’s the right thing to do thiugh

You 💯 are doing the right thing reporting. If your DD is against it please show her the Semina Halliwell case and the devastation this type of thing can cause.
