When I was 13, a man in his 30s contacted me on Facebook.
He started telling me he liked me, which was such a nice change to all the abuse I was getting at school. Then he asked for some explicit photos.
I felt like I could trust him. It went on for years.*

Our calls to the government to close significant gaps in the law:
One of our recent polls showed overwhelming public support for these measures to be included in the final bill. It comes as 3 Parliamentary Committees also recommended the Online Safety Bill to be strengthened to disrupt abuse.
Abuse can stop with a call to the NSPCC Helpline. Will you help us answer every call?
Peter Wanless, NSPCC CEO, said:
"The Online Safety Bill is a landmark piece of legislation that must act as a key pillar of the child protection system for generations to come.
The Bill comes 4 years after the NSPCC first secured a commitment from the government to regulate social media and will be judged on whether it effectively and unambiguously tackles inherently preventable child abuse.
The legislation must respond to the complex nature of online child abuse, provide sufficient deterrence value to large tech firms, and ensure safeguarding expertise are embedded in the regulatory system.
We’ll be scrutinising the bill closely and will continue to work with the government to ensure it provides children and families with the clear protection they need.”
