SWAN Hill police say they are still seeing children, especially young teenagers, sharing intimate images of themselves with persons they have just met online.
Once these people have the images, a demand for cash can be made with the threat that the image will be distributed. It takes a lot of courage for young people to report such matters to parents and the police.
