Discuss online safety with your child
DETECTIVES from the Victorian Joint Anti-Child Exploitation Team (JACET), which comprises both Victoria Police and Australian Federal Police investigators, is urging parents to have age-appropriate conversations with their child about personal safety online and what to do if they find themselves in a situation that makes them feel uncomfortable.
Police have received reports from at least 100 families of instances where offenders are coercing children, particularly teenage males, into producing explicit images before extorting them for money.
Police said it doesn’t matter the instances – something that might appear inconsequential could later prove important in an investigation.
