The police have been observant of a new trend in social media. Young sends live images from the bedroom in closed groups.
It says Kari-Janne Lid, head of the section for sex crimes in the Oslo police. She says that a new Facebook update is why concern the message from the police.
– Late last week began to emerge directly pictures of young girls in their early teens in different groups of youths Facebook. Some of the groups have several thousand members and everyone has the opportunity to see and comment on the videos on the fly, says Lid VG.
The phenomenon is not new and the police recognize it from other forum, but it’s new on Facebook, Lid.

Expert advice: – Show interest in their child’s use
Pretending to be places where you can seek advice
VG has previously written about how youth are served on silver platter in social media. Because the young people have many questions about sexuality, but do not dare ask Mom and Dad, seeking more answers elsewhere.
– On social media, there are private groups that sets out to be places where you can seek advice . They are managed by teenagers themselves. These teens pretending to be experts, and encourage young people to post pictures of themselves. Preferably with the minimum clothes. We see a lot of, the police specialist at paragraphs of sexual crimes Fredy Joaquin Salazar previously told VG.
Anyone can add your child in various social media. Perhaps 13-year-old posted an innocent picture of himself. A stranger commenting that he or she is pretty. The child will be flattered and before they realize what’s happening is they caught in a web of blackmail, nudity and worse.
– This is the new crime. Children and youth will be served on a silver platter, said Kari-Janne Lid former VG.
