Who do you send a nude to?

It's probably not a good idea to send it to anybody.

If you're going to do it, certainly you want to know them.

That image, it's difficult for a young person, for any person, if that were to get leaked out.

How do you handle that?

These are skills that I never had to have in the 80s.

Even probably in the 80s, it was a magazine behind the counter at the gas station.

It wasn't accessible to me as a young person.

Everything's pretty accessible now, but these children often don't have the skills to ask that question, is this legitimate?

And there's a lot of peer pressure, too.

The childhood my children have is infinitely harder than the one that I grew up with.

And there should be a compassionate response to that.

And so the work then must be as a father and as a provider of care, how do I keep them safe?

How do I teach them digital jujitsu to fend off somebody who's gonna try to exploit their vulnerability?

There was a case of a college girl a couple years ago that she was a beautiful woman, and she had taken a lot of nude selfies, but had them in a folder in her Instagram.

It wasn't public.

It was just for her.

Yeah.

And a perpetrator was going around engaging digitally with young college girls and would learn about their community, their friends, their pattern of life, and sent her a fake Instagram password reset text.

And it looked like it was from Instagram.
