What would you do
My sister was caught sending nudes to a GROWN MAN she met online and has never met in person before. She is 15. She doesn’t have a phone. Instead her dumbass got on her friends phone and USED MY MOMS SNAP CHAT TO DO IT AND THEN SAVED THE PHOTOS IN THE “my eyes only” thing and my mom made her put in the password and saw all her nudes.
She was talked to by multiple people about the dangers of this. The possible future consequences, the dangers like sex trafficking and predators. She doesn’t even care that she could be charged for distribution of child porn.
She doesn’t care. She didn’t care when she got caught and when my mom backed off to cool down because she was too pissed to handle it correctly, she went and bragged about how she didn’t even get in trouble for it. Yeah well she’s in deep shit now. But I am SCARED for her. How do you get something across to a teen who is doing dangerous things and doesn’t care?
She said she doesn’t care and that she will do it again. She doesn’t even have a phone yet she’s doing it. She’s grounded and can’t see anyone right now but she still goes to school and can use someone’s phone to contact this pervert on the internet. My mom has already contacted the police about him.
I told my mom that she should put her in some kind of program that spreads awareness to teen girls about sex trafficking if such a thing exists. I also told her to seek therapy for my sister because I mean she’s only 15 and teenagers will be dumb but I don’t buy that “I don’t care” bs. I think there’s a deeper problem there.
There is a part of me that wants to tell my mom to let her learn the hard way when the police show up knocking on the door about her daughter distributing child porn. That exact thing happened to my best friend when we were 15 her ex posted her nudes to the internet and someone called the police. I had my best friend come over and talk to her and she blew it off. She acts like she’s too good for any of that to happen to her. Life doesn’t work that way and she will learn soon enough.
That’s the only hard way I want to let her experience. I don’t want to accept that there is nothing I can do to get it across because this is my baby sister being taken advantage of by pedophiles and sexual predators. It makes my stomach twist into a knot. If you know of any such programs that I mentioned above please let me know.
Edit: beating her is only going to make her close herself off even more and listen less. Getting your ass beat is not an eye opener. It will not make her realize that what she’s doing is dangerous and will only make her resentful and more secretive. At this point she is becoming a young adult and needs discipline yes, but also guidance. Why the fuck would you listen to someone’s guidance if they’re beating the shit out of you. Im sorry but no. Next
For arguments sake even if beating your children was the solution to every problem you could have with a defiant kid. What happens in three years when she’s a legal adult and nobody can just pop in and beat her ass when she does some dumbass shit? It might stall the problem at this point by making her fear the consequences of being caught but in 3 years she has nobody to answer to but herself and that could be dangerous with the mindset she has now. Whatever the hell the issue is needs to be handled in a better way than putting hands on her.
