How to tell my children
Notifications OFF
Hi,
A very close family member (not in my house hold) is on a no contact order with my children for looking at indecent images online. The investigation is likely to take a good few months. My two kids are pre teen age. They were seeing this person fairly regularly and I have no idea how to tell them what's going on. They understand about internet safety and that there are people out there who do bad things. I'm worried if I tell them, they'll tell other people and I don't want them losing friends because of it. I just want to protect them. Please, I'd be grateful for any advice. Thank you
