Hello there

last November we got the knock at the door

They had a Warrent to look in my son room, which they did , they took away his phone, where they said he had indecent imagesl.and then my husband had to take him to the police station to help with investigation, we had a solicitor present.

My son was sent these images via snapchat, so when the first picture was sent, my son opened it but then deleted it because he know it was wrong but whoever it was kept sending them, my son thought that if deleted the app, that it would go away.

Then in July this year, they wanted to come round to talk to My son and me and my husband, in which they told us that my son was talking to People online and my son had also sent photos to people and that they was going after these people.

My son had just turned 14, when this happened

But now the police are going to charge my son,

What will happen to him,

He does well at school and has never been I'm trouble before.

Social services have closed their case and my son is seeing some one from safer London once a week



Sorry

I'm so sorry this is happening to your family - nothing to say that might help as my situation is with an adult son but my hope for you as another mum is that your son receives kindness and help from the police and that they take the time to unravel this whole situation and work with you as a family rather than just trying to get a conviction. We accept that with our son (although we don't like it) but for one so young there must be a better way.

Hugs xx

Thank you for your kind word

Just want it to end and have a outcome whatever it is.

It's just the waiting, and am one to over think things.

Just stuck in limbo
