FIRST-RESPONSE Open the sextortion first-response steps▸

You’re not in trouble. A child threatened over images is the victim of a crime. Take a breath — these steps work. Immediate danger: call 911.

Do not pay. It rarely stops the demands. Already paid? Keep the receipt as evidence and continue.
Do not delete anything. Screenshot the messages, threats, payment demand, and the offender’s profile before blocking.
Stop communicating with the offender once evidence is saved.
Block, then report to the platform using its exploitation-of-minors path.
Report to NCMEC & FBI; use Take It Down to stop image spread.
