Police were dispatched to a call involving a boy who shared nude pictures of himself with a stranger on social media. The recipient of the pictures then attempted to blackmail the boy, telling him they would share the pictures with his school unless he did what he was told. No suspect information was available and it appeared to us that the recipient of the photos was probably offshore. Police advised the boy to delete the app from his phone and stop sharing nude pictures of himself with strangers.

Students and parents are reminded of the dangers of unfettered access to social media and the lure of predators and the other risks associated with the Internet and social media. The Keenesburg Police Department is happy to advise students or parents, either, who need further education or information about this topic.
