Photos of children

[YourZippyHare]

Hello,

Is there a way to legally ask/enforce relatives to delete photos of my kids from their devices?

I've recently found out that a relative (in law) has been convicted for child sex offences. I don't want any images of my kids on his wife's device, or another relative who lives with them. Anywhere he could potentially access them.

I hope I am not overreacting but I just find the whole thing so... disgusting, it's bothering me so much thinking he might be able to see photos of them (have heard online of people creating child abuse images from kids' photos etc).

I suspect the answer is no, and I don't know how I could check if they had deleted them even if they said they had.

I believe he has a sexual harm prevention order in place. I don't know exactly what the terms are.

If anyone knows anything or has any experience, I'd be grateful.

I have asked them to delete and they have said no.

Many thanks.

well no she is not a convicted person, or subject restrictions.

Perhaps not... just someone who stuck by her paedo hubby and tried to hush it up from the rest of the family (including those with kids... clearly it didn't work). She isn't to be trusted. I keep thinking there must be something I can do. I wish there was.

I nearly asked you about the wife’s collusion, i can not see what you can do legally speaking

Legally there's nothing you can do.

I would quietly lose her phone if I had access to it. That's not to say the photos wouldn't be on other devices. How are they getting to take photos of your kids or have them on their devices?

He could be breaching his SHPO depending on what his offence was.

They are old photos from before he was apprehended. Obviously we don't allow contact or photos now, nor send photos!
