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.

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?

And it looked like it was from Instagram.
