Families impacted by a child/young person's online sexual behaviour

A supportive space for parents, carers, and family members of children or young people (under 21, or under 24 with learning disabilities) who have got into trouble for their online sexual behaviour.  
 
If your post relates to an adult rather than a young person, the Forum team may decide move it to a more appropriate topic folder on the forum. This helps ensure you receive the most relevant support for your situation and allows this space to remain focused on the needs of those impacted by a young person’s online sexual behaviour. 


We know that some forum users are going through a lot of trauma and stress. Please be aware that some people will find certain posts upsetting.

If you need support, please contact our confidential Stop It Now helpline:

  • Call 0808 1000 900: Monday to Thursday 9am to 9pm, Friday 9am to 5pm
