I found my 13 year old little sisters nsfw twitter account and I genuinely feel sick. I didn’t look at the pictures since they have the cover thing that you click to view on all of them. But Jesus Christ, it’s concerning how many followers she has. All those people don’t know they’re looking at ch1ld p0rn (she has 18 in her bio). I don’t know what to do. I know I should tell my parents but I don’t want to freak them out and I also don’t want to embarrass my sister. Shes been a lot of trouble for my parents the past few years, honestly she’s always been. I feel really bad for her but I don’t know what else I can do. She shouldn’t have a phone, I think thats obvious. But she also doesn’t have any friends in real life and she’s homeschooled. It’s just really hard. Because I was very similar to her at her age, I talked to older guys online, I was very insecure and I guess that was the only way I felt I could get validation, but the difference is i quickly realized it was wrong and it was affecting my mental health so I deleted everything and got off social media; she won’t do that. I know she won’t. Even if I do tell my parents, and they take her electronics, she’ll find another way. And they’ve already threatened to send her to a mental hospital for other issues and I don’t want her to go through that, since I’ve heard they can be traumatizing. I seriously don’t know what to do. Please someone give me advice.

Just report the account to Twitter and then tell your parents
I think the advice is obvious, but you don’t want to do it: talk to your parents.
Talk with your sister first. You can clearly tell her that if she doesn’t stop you’ll tell your parents. If she feels isolated maybe school could benefit her.
she is gunna get very unwanted and bad attention if u let this continue, ik it might seem like an ass thing to do now but tell ur parents before it is too late.
Remember that Megan is Missing movie.. or that Runaway Train song? Whatever you feel could be the result of you telling on her.. the alternative is far worse
You need to report the account and talk to your parents. No matter what potential consequences you are afraid of, your parents need to know. This is not something you hide from them.
Talk to your parents immediately. You might think you’re protecting her, but by trying to cover up, you’re doing her serious injustice.
She’s a child and you have a legal and moral obligation to get them involved.
I’m sorry that no one was there to help you at her age.
I could be totally wrong here, so take this with a grain of salt. But. A child that young being overly sexual is concerning, particularly because you say she’s been difficult for a long time. When did this behavior start? I am concerned that she is or has been either personally exposed to this on a physical level (aka abused) or that someone at home is talking about or watching sexual things often. Or maybe she’s feeling extremely lonely misunderstood at home and is doing whatever we can to get positive attention. Idk. But something is very wrong here.
My vote is that you talk to your sister first. Ask her how she feels. What’s going on in her life? Is there anything she wants to talk about or anyone she feels unsafe or uncomfortable around? What can you do to help? Don’t get mad. Come with calmness and compassion and ZERO judgement. Let her know that you found the account and will be reporting it to Twitter to be taken down. Or just report it anonymously. Either way, report it so it gets shut down asap. Let her know that you will also be sharing with your parents so they can help find a better outlet (like therapy or extracurricular activity) to help her regulate whatever she is going through.
She needs help. Now is the time to show her what healthy love and affection look like in a non-sexual manner.
It’s a very important matter that can shape her life in a bad way. You should tell your parents.
You need to talk to your parents immediately. This is a matter of child porn. Your sister needs some help.
The fact your parents seem to be a source of your sisters difficult behaviour makes me hesitant to say tell your parents… you need to talk to your sister and ask her why she’s doing this and if she plans to continue ,
I would share your risqué experiences with her too, it may make her more comfortable to talk about it-
If she refuses to talk about things, Talk to a trusted family member that’s not your parents or a professional, I hate to deter you from speaking to your parents, but it sounds like they may make things worse . Your parents will hear about this inevitably, but at least you can have someone else on your team to support your sister if your parents flip out in a toxic way
Talking to them should be last resort, but you may/will still have to do it if other options don’t work^
I’d say give it a month of trying other options before telling your parents
if your sister is posting inappropriate pictures online as a minor, looking for validation or seeking attention. She may have been sexually abused as a child. In know this from personal experience. There so many more issues to this that you may not even be aware of. Grow up, and tell your family. Saying nothing, you’re doing more harm than good.
Talk with her, share with her what happened to you and that you understand how she feels. Spend time with her, show her you care. It takes time but that’s what she’s been looking for, connection. She really wants true friends but you are a good start. Be patient, be her friend.
Forget talking to your parents, you need to go to the police
they absolutely know that she’s underage, I was the same as well and I stopped bc someone said “and ur definitely lying about ur age but good for me i guess”. U really don’t realize ur being preyed on until it hits u and thats something she needs to accept sooner rather than later
Take her phone, tell your parents, freak them out, embarrass your sister. Feelings aren’t the top priority right now.
Not talking about it is dressing it up as a goat for the next pedophile. The risk is prostitution network (minimum) or going every Sunday to put flowers on a grave (or a cenotaph, which is an average way of mourning)
I think as an older sister I’m often very protective of my little sister and with this situation id hansle it in which I decided to sit my little sister down and have a private but serious conversation. One where there will be rules and boundaries set and if not obeyed or followed than absolutely alternative go to your parents. But I think it sounds like she’s maybe just going thru some stuff emotionally. She’s a young teen who’s probably lonely or feels disconnected. Either way, that should be addressed too because that sounds like it’s the source of these behavioural problems thats been happening etc…
What do you mean you don’t want to “freak your parent out”? Is that a joke? They should be freaked out. Your sister is in immediate danger and has been. No one is protecting this young child. Telling your parents should have been your first priority.
She needs help, and therapy. This poor little girl is exploiting herself to get some kind of connection from the wrong people.
Jesus, tell your parents immediately. Any distress they will have when you tell them will not even compare to the potential charges of child endangerment because of their own child posting child pornography. It’s honestly not even about your sister at this point, she’s put your entire family in potential legal trouble.
EDIT: the following is advice from a concerned citizen and not a lawyer, but I really do think your parents seeking legal counsel for all of this is a good idea. I think its a really bad idea to sweep this under the rug and pretend none of it happened. A lawyer will advise you on whether or not this is something you can just keep a secret or if there’s some sort of further action, because like I said earlier, this concerns your entire family.
She should seek out therapy to sort out whatever issues she’s going through, and why it drove her to seeking this sort of attention or validation. Talk to her first and try and convince her to delete her account and seek out professional help. If she refuses or engages in this behavior more strongly, bring your parents into it.
Tell your parents and walk away. Girl this isn’t your fight but it is your blood, tell an adult and make SURE they have it all.
You need to tell your parents for your sister’s safety. You have no idea who she’s talking to, & what’s even more terrifying is that she has no idea who’s talking to her! This is extremely high risk behavior.
Well, clearly, Home schooling didn’t keep your sister safe, which was probably your parents’ goal. She feels isolated. You’ve been through it, you have to talk to her. Try to help her find a different kind of outlet. I think you should show your parents, but they sound extreme. If telling them would open a conversation that would allow her to go to School and get out of the house and break that isolation that would be ideal, but it sounds like if you tell they might send her to a psych hospital. So maybe just threaten to tell if she doesn’t knock it off.
Let them do what they want to do. Have their parent talk to them personally and prohibit their interaction with strangers online. Maybe you can report their account with the media provider as an underage account.
I don’t think you should chastise them/ call them out, because that can make them even more insecure. I would recommend that their parent let them know how talking to strangers online can be harmful to a developing mind.
Don’t worry, us females have numerous followers. It’s the exes that stalk us, unfortunately.
My brothers friend told on my for using the hot or not app back in the day and I got screamed at and my phone taken for it. But id tell your parents especially at her age, seeking attention from the wrong people can get her hurt, kidnapped all types of things god only knows what types of conversations she’s having and with who!
Talk to HER about it and explain how what she’s doing is damaging to her. Your perspective is probably the only one she’ll respond to anyhow. But if she doesn’t, you’ll have to tell your parents. Or tell Twitter she’s 13?
May be you can try and share your experiences with her and talk to her about it, try and associate a friendship or use it if it already exists.
I have an elder sister and I know that’s possible.
Whatever you describe – it’s basically lack of attention that she is suffering from it can be very hard to deal with especially if it’s been happening for a long time and sex just brings in all sorts of attention it’s easy to get a hold off
She needs a community & friends – get her introduced to a hobbies where she can meet other people, do it along with her sister n sister or siblings if you identify as a boy but yeah try and look for the deeper issue and a long term solution for it.
Talk to your parents. If you think that they are more of a danger to her, tell an adult you trust or CPS.
13 years old maybe she should hear the Amanda Todd story that may get her to stop
Talk to her about it one on one, and tell her that she’ll face legal trouble by authorities if caught. She still has time to delete the photos, but if you don’t hurry, someone will save her photos.
They probably already have, but better late than ever.
Don’t try to talk to her. At 13, she will NEVER understand how damaging this is. The comment about the Meghan is Missing movie literally was my first thought… Jesus. My sexual life as a minor (18 now) literally screwed me up for good and put me in bad places. Never knew how many pedos there were. I WISH I could take back the nude pictures of me AS A MINOR out there. Good grief. At most, your parents should talk to her. They probably know best.
Get your parents involved and mass report the account. Report the people involved on the account too. She needs mental help and it will take a lot of undoing to fix this, so get a REGULAR therapist. She’s too little for a mental hospital, and I have gone to one myself and felt worse after. Tell your parents she’d hate them forever if they sent her away—which is the truth. I’d get a psychiatrist instead in case meds are needed. They probably are.
No phones, tablets, or any handheld devices for her. Maybe a laptop at the most for homework and school with no usable camera. No allowance—she would buy another phone. Have your parents give you her allowance if she ever really needs something, and buy it for her, but never tell her it’s you in charge. If she already has no allowance, great.
If she’s given trouble in the past, see what your parents have been doing wrong in discipline and try to talk with them and see what can be corrected. I never resented my parents for taking away my devices or grounding me in the past. It did me good. I resented them for yelling, shaming, insulting, hitting, and neglecting me. They also never compromised, and sometimes that’s what a kid needs, so try to find the underlying issues for her acting out. Maybe she needs homeschool. Maybe she’s being bullied. Maybe she’s insecure and lacking something, so she feels this fills the hole. Maybe it’s just not enough company at home or with friends. There’s always something!
I think you should tell your parents, because whether you like it or not, they are responsible for her. It’s not fair for you to keep it inside, brooding over it, trying to find a way to save it. This is not your responsibility. It’s a difficult decision, but I believe it’s the right one. You can ask your parents not to tell her that it was you who found and showed her the account, they can just tell her that they found her account online, question her and seek help from the family.
Talk to her first. Then talk to your parents. Get the account removed and taken down. Your sister 100% needs counseling/therapy. Her internet access needs to be limited. Computers/phone need to have some sort of nanny software. She’s way too young to be acting like that. I hope you guys get it figured out. Make sure she knows that you’re there for her, you’re not punishing her but you’re trying to course correct her life before she ends up in a really bad spot. Be kind, but firm
You MUST tell your parents. It’s a matter of safety. This could end very badly for her.
If this was my sister i would tell my parents immediately and you should too
Honestly intervention is the best option. You could talk to her personally and explain the risks and see if she takes the advice and stops. If not then tell your parents and have them step in. Its not safe what shes doing and it is also illegal as hell.
Inform your parents and if you are uncomftalbe in doing this alone, find family who is able to attend.
I agree in letting this open, the rabbit hole is extremly deep and dangerous.
You dont want to see your sister end up in videos online in orgies, borrowed to older men, sold as a slave, raped , offered to satan and in the end, sold for organ harvest when she is 25+ and “old” and is a witness against the underworld.
I am not joking.
Tell your parents immediately!!! What your sister is doing is not only extremely dangerous and disgusting, but extremely illegal as well. This is not something you should ignore. You also need to report this to X immediately as this violates social media platform rules. If someone figures out she is a minor you will have the FBI or Local Police knocking on your door.
I completely understand not wanting to tell your parents, but I think that’s the best option. She has so many years to come back from this, intervention is important asap. There are options for mental health facilities that will not mistreat her. The experience may be traumatic in some aspects, but I think one day something she’ll thank you for.
