Online Sextortion: A Parent’s Guide

Online sextortion can be difficult for both young people and their families to navigate. Parents and caregivers may not always know what to look for, what to say, or what to do if their child comes to them for help.

Created in partnership with The Safe Link, this guide helps parents and caregivers recognize signs that something may be wrong, understand how to respond if their child shares what is happening, and know what steps to take next. It also includes resources for reporting sextortion, getting help with intimate images, and finding additional support.
