Police campaign highlights dangers of sharing selfies online
North Yorkshire Police have launched an online safety campaign urging teenagers to think about the consequences of sharing selfie photos.
Safety and child sexual exploitation online campaign launched
There is a new warning to children in our region to think twice before sharing personal and intimate photographs of themselves online.
It is estimated as many as 75,000 paedophiles are on the internet at any one time - and with more young people sharing selfie photographs than ever - it's even easier for the images to fall into the wrong hands.
Three new videos warning of the dangers of sharing personal details online have been produced by North Yorkshire police as part of a campaign to coincide with the summer holidays.
