Schools attitude to sharing indecent images

Hi everyone- my daughter was pressured into providing nudes to a boy who then showed it all around school.
The police are investigating and a crime has been admitted and recorded.
The School refuse to exclude him, he's currently suspended, my daughter is now on medication and receiving therapy for the effects of his actions. She can't face going to school if he is there. So it looks like she will have to move. The School are completely unsupportive.
Does anyone have a similar experience- how have their schools behaved?
Thanks so much for any advice/info xxx

The ages are key to this. A 12/13 year old can only be a victim. Nothing else.

The 15 year old who shared indecent photos of children, is old enough to know it's illegal and inappropriate.

'Thank god the law is more enlightened than many of the posters on this thread. Although it makes me shudder to think that so many mothers think like this, as this is the message that will be passed down to children.'

Agree entirely. Some truly terrifying attitudes on this thread.

I'm very shocked by the amount of victim blaming on this thread. I'm also relieved the law has had a much better overview

I'm the OP. Im genuinely shocked and disgusted at the victim blaming.
The attitude of a lot of you and school has been this is consensual.
You are so wrong and should be ashamed of yourselves.
I've seen the messages which coerced and blackmailed and I knew the mental state of my DD - depressed and anxious with ADHD.
The police took two months to recover the data and now they too accept there was coercion and a decision is to be made on whether to charge or caution.
It's a feminist and abuse issue but the bile on this thread from women who don't know the facts and make offensive assumptions just show what a let down they are to womankind past present and future.
Thanks to all those with kind words, advice and support xxx

Revenge porn is a crime so even IF dd was happy to send images ( and in this case it seems not). The boy had committed an offense by distributing them.. it's not 'spiteful' it's an offense and absolutely needs to be corrected. Can't believe some of the minimising on this thread

I have reported so many posts. Mumsnet at its absolute worst. There are some truly pathetic posters.

This thread is absolutely disgusting.

OP I'm sorry you and your daughter are going through this. Even if your daughter was an adult and had shared the images willingly it would be in no way her fault that someone (of whatever age or gender) used them to commit revenge port against her.

I'm assuming that that many posters on here would tell a rape victim "you shouldn't have got drunk", a burglary victim "it's your own fault the door was an old and insecure design", and the parents of an abused child "you shouldn't have trusted family members to be alone with your child". All actions that could have prevented the crimes from happening, doesn't mean the victim should be treated as another perpetrator.

As for the whole boys will be boys excuse Angry

I always assumed mumsnetters were a bit right on and clued up to a certain degree but this thread is like stepping back into the 1950's
