Nudes

Product Information

In the recordings Peter is pushed more to the front and it’s astounding to hear him playing with such strength after almost two years of inactivity; this is one of the first concerts he played while the world was still in the midst of the pandemic. Legislation across the UK does not define the term "indecent", but information about this is included in prosecution guidance (see below). Reassuring them and offering support – remind them they can always talk to you, another trusted adult, or Childline. Also, if it was sent through social media, a game or another app you can report it directly to the service or platform – they may decide to suspend or cancel the account that was used – check The eSafety Guide for more information about how to do this in-app. This should include online bullying, bullying that happens on the way to and from school, and bullying that happens in other public places.

But there are other reasons too – for example, to upset or bully the person, or get them into trouble. Image-based abuse is sometimes known as ‘revenge porn’ because some people do it to hurt a person who’s ended a relationship with them, or threaten to do it unless they agree to talk.

We know that although its uncommon, children as young as 9 have shared nude images online – this may be due to not understanding the risks or being pressured by an older child or adult.

Finding out that your child’s nude has been shared, or someone is threatening to share it, can be very upsetting – but try to stay calm. At eSafety, we’re seeing an increase in the number of young people coming to us for help dealing with online sexual harassment, as well as image-based abuse, which is when an intimate image or video of someone is shared without their consent. With sensitive photos, turn off syncing and consider using password protected folders for storage – with the password not being remembered by the cloud, obviously. Once the report has been made, it keeps the young person informed at each stage and provides support and feedback where necessary.

In Wales, the Government has also published guidance to support education settings in responding to sharing nudes (Welsh Government, 2021). You might not like the fact that they’ve shared intimate content, but they need to feel OK about coming to you, so the situation doesn’t get worse. Let them know that it’s OK to say ‘no’ when someone asks for an intimate image or video or to get sexual online, even if it’s someone they think they can trust. eSafety acknowledges all First Nations people for their continuing care of everything Country encompasses — land, waters and community.

If a child or young person has a nude image or video shared of them online it can have a huge emotional impact on those involved. This type of language could make your child not want to talk to you about what they are experiencing. Sometimes young people who have been involved in sexting have been blackmailed, tricked or coerced – the person who received their image may threaten to share it more widely if the child doesn’t send them more images or money. Take a screenshot or recording of any message sent with the pic, including the sender’s profile name, the date and the time.

If you know the person and you’re comfortable with responding to them, delete the image or video and let them know that nudes are not welcome. Young people under 18 who are worried that a sexual image or video of them may have been shared online can use Childline and IWF’s Report Remove tool. Heads up: This page discusses nudes, consent, dating and pressure, which may be distressing for some people. Keeping up-to-date with what children are doing online will help you have relevant discussions with them. On the 5th April 2024, for one night only, I will be hosting an evening to celebrate the female form at The London Palladium.

The original artwork had gold leaf hand applied to delicate parts of the nude form so Sophie chose to recreate this effect on press, to embellish with gold foil. You might take the opportunity for a chat while you’re doing something together, like a long walk or a car trip. Whether a child or young person shares an image consensually or not, they have no control over how other people might use or share it. Please note Sophie Tea Art will be holding back 1,000 editions for Carnaby Street Gallery and future book signings in LA, NYC and Tokyo.If it happens to your child, it’s important they understand that it’s not their fault, even if they shared a nude with the other person in the first place or agreed to get sexual with them in a live chat. When someone shares (or threatens to share) the intimate image or video without the consent of the person shown in it this is ‘image-based abuse’. Reminding them that people might not always be who they say they are online, so they should be careful about talking to anyone they don't know. Your children may also feel anxious talking about what's happened, but there are ways you can reassure them. If your child is already a teenager, talking about consent first is still a good way to start a conversation about sending nudes.
