:04:00. > :04:04.the children, schools, who `re now under guidance from Ofsted to bring
:04:05. > :04:08.training into school for parents and children, but also law enforcement,
:04:09. > :04:12.because remember that if a child or young adult is going
:04:13. > :04:16.to take and send a sext, thhs could be a sexually explicit imagd
:04:17. > :04:19.of a child, which could be covered under the Sexual Offences Act 2 03.

:04:23. > :04:26.A child could get a criminal record, then?
:04:27. > :04:31.That's the problem we have, because as the image could dasily be
:04:32. > :04:36.an indecent image of a child, by definition, and the act hs
:04:37. > :04:40.the Sexual Offences Act 2003, which means if a parent insists that
:04:41. > :04:46.somebody is arrested for codrcing their child to take and send a sext,
:04:47. > :04:50.then of course, yes, they c`n be arrested, and they can end tp going
:04:51. > :04:54.to court or get a caution and go on the Sex Offenders' Register for one
:04:55. > :04:56.year, which, of course, creates awful harm
:04:57. > :04:59.for their online reputation, digital footprint, because these
:05:00. > :05:03.images are there forever, and of course, they are searchable.
:05:04. > :05:07.But is this a criminal problem or one of education for not just
:05:08. > :05:12.Again, a good point. It can be criminal.
:05:13. > :05:15.We have to remember that, and that's something all children and xoung
:05:16. > :05:18.adults must remember, that hf they are going to take an image that is
:05:19. > :05:21.sexually explicit, it could easily be dealt with by law enforcdment as
:05:22. > :05:23.an indecent image of a child, but personally,
:05:24. > :05:25.it's about education and aw`reness in schools, getting into schools.
