This is the best summary I could come up with:
Parents of under-18s should be monitoring their children’s phones for nude pictures, according to the police chief for child protection, in order to tackle a “tidal wave” of online sexual abuse cases.
The new lead for child abuse investigations at the National Police Chiefs’ Council, assistant chief constable Becky Riggs, told the Sunday Times parents needed to report any intimate images of their children to police.
In October 2022, 16-year-old Dinal De Alwis killed himself after being blackmailed over naked images he had sent to a stranger, possibly in Nigeria.
While much of this abuse comes from adults targeting children, half of it is child-on-child crime and figures show the average age of an offender is 14.
In 2022, in England and Wales, about 5,000 cases involved children sharing naked photos of themselves.
We will work with parents and schools to avoid criminalising children where it comes with a degree of naivety, but we have to measure each case on its merits.”
The original article contains 400 words, the summary contains 162 words. Saved 60%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
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.
Snooping is one thing
Setting a responsible relationship with your kids, and your hardware is another.
“You can have this phone, but every once and a while I am going to review it. You are sharing my device here, and it’s my responsibility you are safe. Over time, as you get older, we will do this less and less. I’ll never surprise you unless you demonstrate there’s an imminent risk”.

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.

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.
I mean did your parents actually trust you growing up with things?

Police chief wants excuse to look at illegal material

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… 🤷♂️

It is.
I’m sure you’ll be shocked to learn that their consistent advice was to call them so they could take it away to examine instead…

Isn’t the age of consent 16 I know for a fact it was when I was a teenager, seems stupid to be able to go out and do basically anything but if you have a nude photo of yourself this guy wants you arrested.
Let me guess, the pig then wants you report your child to the police to teach them a lesson?
Where are we going with this?
Either way, I think checking 17yos phone like is violation if privacy that can destroy a working relationship with your own fucking child so some big can feel good about himself? Teach them not to share nudes and then trust them to do the right thing.
If you need to check 17yo's phone, you are already done fucked up as parent anyway.

Why be a good parent when you can break their trust by invading their privacy instead!?
