12-year-old girl duped into sending explicit photos by school fraudster

[webfact]

 

Soliciting explicit images under the guise of a teacher, a person online commanded a 12-year-old girl to capture and send revealing photos of herself. After these images were posted on social media, they were discovered by the girl’s mother who was shocked to stumble upon her daughter undressing.

 

Yesterday, a plea for help was submitted to the Nakhon Nayok Reality page by the distressed parents. The victim was their 12-year-old daughter, a sixth grader, harassed by a person claiming to be a teacher at her school.

 

The fraudster operated through the LINE app, a popular messenger app, ordering the girl to strip naked for alleged health checks. Fooled by the claim, the girl complied, sending photos that were subsequently dispersed throughout social networks.

On August 4, one of the girl’s friends contacted her, mentioning female ‘Teacher Matum’ from a school in Khaeng Khoi, Saraburi, who wanted to converse. The teacher’s profile featured an image identical to Matum’s, encouraging trust and obedience from the naive 12-year-old girl, who was coerced into sharing intimate details about her life, followed by a demand to send bare-chested photos, citing it as a physical examination.

No common sense at all.  This is what happens when parents do not manage their children correctly.  The Line app as well as all other similar apps should be age restricted.

Or just teach your children what is right and what is wrong and to inform them when someone is doing this.

ALL social media platforms are out of control and are too huge with tens of millions, sometimes billions, of users to be monitored properly. All the companies can do is put a sticking plaster on a gaping wound and hope not too much damage is done. But, at the end of the day, it's people being people. It's what they do, causing harm or scamming or sending hate messages to total strangers. In their millions around the world. Every day.

They are all age-restricted. Remember as a youth you would just click on "OK" when asked if you were over 18 to enter an adult site even though you weren't? Same thing here, the kids find ways around it.

 

I have a friend with a very cute 8-year-old daughter who made a FB page for her. All I can do is shake my head. Not my kid, not my problem.

Nothing to do with 'managing their children'.

Everything to do with the evils of the Thai education system.

The pervert who organised this pretended to be one of the school's teachers.

Thai children do what the teacher tells them - without question.

Too many Thai underaged girls/boys going into the wrong direction as they know very well that the law does not apply to children.
Thailand should adapt a law, similar to most countries, where children who do something wrong will be brought to justice and condemned for their actions.

Not just a Thai issue. If you don't believe me, watch the 3 part documentary on Netflix called Don't Pickup the Phone.
