Sunday March 13, 2016, 9:22 AM LASD - Los Angeles County Sheriffs Dept Information Bureau (SIB) Advisory: The nude selfie and the need to protect our children. An open letter to parents from Sheriff Jim Mcdonnell Dear Pepperdine Libboard, Dear parents, Due to the current trend of sharing nude photographs by our young children online, Sheriff Jim McDonnell has written Open Letter to all Parents entitled "NUDE SELFIES AND THE NEED TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN"   Below is an excerpt  "This week, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) Human Trafficking Bureau (HTB) held a news conference and provided reporters a comprehensive update on the horrific nature and the sheer number of human trafficking cases that involve children and young teens taking nude photos of themselves and sending them over the internet. What may have started as a copycat of an online trend is now manifesting itself as a nexus between our teens and the predators who seek to exploit them for profit." To read the entire letter, please visit https://www.facebook.com/LosAngelesCountySheriffsDepartment/posts/1305629852797258 Sheriff Jim McDonnell stated "Our youth need public figures and parents to work together and provide information to our families about the high-risk consequences of inappropriate photo sharing."
