My story (to help this chat get started)
Notifications OFF
Knock 31st July
Person: 16yr old son
All we know: IP address linked to my son's email
Initially my son was on bail for 6 months but just after Xmas that changed to RUI
Apparently his devices which was an old tablet, xbox and iPhone were due to be checked 28th March. We are still awaiting update.
My son states he doesn't know what this relates to and we believe him due to type of child he is and we can always tell when he's telling truth. If anything we believe he's come across something unintentionally. Another reason is we have emails where he's reported items to snapchat. One of these was accepted to be a violation and he told us it was iioc. We also have thing where his email was hacked and random messages coming through. His new email is very similar and I hadn't realised he'd used same password.
My son is intelligent but nieve.
Even now it breaks my heart fact on the day of arrest he was placed in a cell and reading guidelines that should not have happened. The negative impact on his mental health and his A levels is huge. Just need this over.
I have started regularly contacting OIC for updates. They won't say what links my son exactly but reading between the lines it is Snapchat.
This forum as been very supportive. I hope more families will use this particular forum that is specific to children x
