Creepshots
Risk flagNon-consensual photos or videos of real people (often girls or women) taken without their knowledge or permission, typically in public or semi-public spaces. These are shared in online communities and can fuel harassment, exploitation, and sexual objectification. This is both illegal and a serious violation of privacy and consent.
How kids use it
"These photos are creepshots—they weren't taken with consent."
"Creepshots" signals sexual content or conversation. For a teen, some of this is normal curiosity — the parent question is whether it involves strangers, pressure, or content aimed at them by adults.
- Have the conversation about what’s normal to encounter and what to do about pressure — calm beats shocked.
- Filter the open web at the network level so the accidental exposure lane is narrower DNS filtering guide →
