Worried mum

[Sasha775]

Hi this is my first post here and I’m not really sure I’ve put it in the right place but I’m really worried about my daughter. She is 19 and has an Instagram page which is becoming more and more like a glamour modelling page all the time. It’s a public page and she has a lot of followers and I’m just really worried about how far this will go as she gets a lot of offers from men to buy her things or send her money and they often want something in return or they can get angry. I feel like she is quite naive but she tells me it is her body and she can do what she wants. She also wants a lot of plastic surgery and I am getting more worried that she will be open to offers from men or ‘photographers’ in order to pay for this. I have spoke to her for years about this but she thinks I am just a mum and I don’t understand. I just want to protect her and I worry that once something is out there online then you can never get rid of it. I am anxious all the time about having these conversations with her as I don’t want it to come across that I am judging her. Does anyone have a similar situation or can offer any helpful advice? Thank you

Hello oh you must be going through the mill with the worry.im not sure what to say to help except tell her you want access to her page and decides what goes up there failing that speak to the police for tips on how to keep her safe online xxxxx

Hi, I go on instagram quite frequently but not sure if I can help. It has to be worrying for you. Your daughter can set her account to private so no random stranger can follow he/look at her pictures. They have to request to follow her, if your concerned maybe stress for her to put it on private? Also you can't find out where someone lives, it's literally just pictures. She can block people if they sent disturbing/scary messages. But unfortunately this happens far too frequently.

If you don't want it to come across you are judging her then say I don't care what you post it's your body your life BUT as soon as men are asking to send you gifts or money then if she gives those details they can find where she lives etc. She needs to be blocking these men as soon as they send those sorts of messages to protect herself and respect herself. she doesn't even know these men some could be stalkers and have a screw loose all it would take is for one to offer to send her something or meet her to take her somewhere.
