Good morning everyone
it's taken me 6 weeks to even join this forum but I think and hope it's going to help.
At the beginning of October my 18 year old son was arrested in the most awful way for sexual behaviour online. I'm still not fully sure but what I understand is the making and distribution of images. This was a total shock my kind, helpful, loyal and loving son and brother to his older brother and younger sister. The hardest thing I'm trying to to come to terms with is the images are to do with his then 15 year old sister. Not of her but I believe about her if that makes sense.
our whole world has turned upside down - literally. He's had to move out of our home because of bail conditions and his contact with her. The investigation is ongoing and they now have his laptop and phone. Due back Jan. Will my life and my families ever be the same again? My daughter has suffered massively in the fact she misses her brother and best friend.

Hello Lin247
I am sorry that you find yourself here, but you have come to the right place for support.
How you spoken with the helpline at all? They can help you and your son throughout this journey. The young persons inform course may be worth you son considering doing. This course is run by Stop it Now and has helped many young people work through how this has happened, the dangers of the internet and also helps them move forward with their future.
Obviously, this has been a terrible shock for you all. Remember to try and look aftr yourself, the best you can. How is you son doing with having to move out of his home?
I am thinking of you and your family.
Take care x

Hi Lin247
i can't really offer any advice but definitely here to listen and send you virtual hugs. My son 17 was arrested in august for allegedly sharing images in the dreaded Snapchat app. He was revalued in November. No evidence found as yet. Our whole world has just stopped. I feel so alone at times (we decided to keep it between my son me and his dad) so can maybe imagine how you feel. Although your situation does seem harder than ours with your son having to leave and it involving your daughter. You will get through this just take each day as it comes (that's what I've been doing) huge hugs ???? and if you ever need ti have a rant or anything to give me a shout xx

Hi lin247
sorrh you find yourself here and sending you some
my son is currently awaiting sentencing for having images on his phone and distributing two of them
