If your kid tells you about a photo they sent, stay calm and let them know they're not in trouble. How you react in that first minute is what makes them come to you the next time. Try to get it deleted first, and be honest with them that screenshots exist. If the picture shows anyone under 18 without clothes, call the NCMEC CyberTipline at 1-800-843-5678 right away.
