A single page for the first hour, when the useful thing is knowing which step comes next rather than reading an explanation. It covers sextortion, stranger contact, shared images and scams, with the reporting route for each. Print it and keep it somewhere findable — the moment you need it is not the moment to start searching.

Child in immediate danger: call 911 (US) or your local emergency number (UK 999, Australia 000). Self-harm or suicide risk: call 988 or text 988, the US Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, 24/7.

0 minutes: calm first

Your tone is more protective than any tool. Say: “You did the right thing telling me. We’ll fix this together. You’re not in trouble.”

Screenshot BEFORE anything else

  • Profile(s) of whoever is involved.
  • The messages in full.
  • Any dollar amounts or demands.
  • Date and time stamps.
  • Never the image itself. Do not screenshot, save or forward a sexual image of a child, even to report it. Describe it to police. (Why)
