Teenager added to police database for sending indecent image
A 14-year-old boy has been added to a police intelligence database after he sent a naked image of himself to a girl at his school.
The boy, who lives in the north of England, was not charged -- but he has been warned that the offence might have to be disclosed when he applies for jobs.
鈥淗e was in his bedroom at his dad鈥檚 the night before, he was flirting with the girl and he sent a picture of himself via something called Snapchat,鈥 the boy鈥檚 mother told Justin Webb.
鈥淪imon explained to me: 鈥業t鈥檚 just instant Mum 鈥 you take a picture, you send it and it鈥檚 gone.鈥欌
The interviews in this piece have been voiced by actors. Simon is not the boy's real name.
