No, parents should educate their kids about the dangers of taking and sharing nude photos, and create trust so that if the kids do something stupid, they can go to their parents for help.
Here we go again.
I dealt with a few CSAM cases in previous jobs and there’s an oddity in UK law: if you even suspect there’s a CSA image - including regular nudes of someone under the age of consent - on a device, it is illegal for you to check.
By opening the image to determine what it is, you are prosecutable. (Not sure if anything has changed since, as this was nearly 10 years ago).
There are many, far better, ways to deal with this issue that don’t destroy relationships and futures.
“Never take legal advice from a cop” strikes again
Everything they say is designed to incriminate you… 🤷♂️
Apart from the fact you can hide photos in your album this is so out of touch with reality… applying stop and search with your kids. Imagine a high ranking police officer forgetting about how important trust is in any two-way relationship.
lol maybe it’s different in the UK but, no way in hell would this help your relationship with your kid in the states. this would be a surefire way to make your kid never trust you with anything. Animals deserve privacy, and that includes humans regardless of age. If you can’t grant them that basic need then you failed at a parent.
