How to help your child

If a teenager is targeted by a nudefake or synthetic abuse, shame and fear can cause silence. The first helpful response is calm support and a clear plan.

Before: prevention that works

• Talk about the topic normally, without judgment.
• Review privacy settings, two factor authentication, and recovery options together.
• Explain that blackmail is handled with evidence and reporting, never with payment.

After: what to do in the first 24 hours

• Preserve evidence: full screenshots, profiles involved, dates and times.
• Report to platforms and request removal.
• Do not leave the teenager alone. Consider school support if needed.
• If there is extortion or ongoing distribution, consider contacting competent authorities.

When stronger protection makes sense: DAPI

This kit is free and does not handle sensitive data. If a family wants stronger protection, DAPI is a separate path designed to create a verified baseline of identity and content, useful against impersonification and abuse over time.

Practical step: preventive refusal statement

You can generate a timestamped preventive refusal PDF. It is a deterrent and a time baseline, not an identity certification.
