Well I have a friend that is a minor and she was convinced by a guy she really liked to reveal her body to him. Out of her own stupidity she did. Now this guy is threatening to send it to his friends, post it on Facebook and to ruin her life. I’m only 14 and I don’t know a lot about this but I know enough that if I tell on the kid or try to get him in trouble for having the picture she will also get into trouble for sending it. And it will ruin both of there lives. Plz help me. I don’t know what to do but I just want to stop this kid from ruining my friends life. ---

It’s all a load of horseshit. This country are its fucking insane obsession with pedophilia. _To Catch A Predator_ was borderline psychotic, and these types of scenarios are irrational garbage.
