Social media fun today but can come back to haunt tomorrow
Nelson Police would like to remind the Nelson youth that images sent electronically are not easily deleted.
Once a person sends images the sender loses control over how those images are distributed.
In some instances compromising images sent to others via electronic means can cause considerable problems, embarrassment and stress.
Those distributing compromising or pornographic images of youth could find themselves facing charges of distributing child pornography. What seems like a good idea today may cause regret tomorrow.
