A warning was sent out over the last couple of days claiming to have come from Cleveland Police about a WhatsApp group called Y7.

The warning says its about a group trying to get more people from Year 7 to join and who are then reportedly exposed to threatening behaviour and graphic material.

大象传媒 Radio Tees contacted the force who say they didn't send out a recent warning but are urging parents to always be on their guard when it comes their child's online activity.

Steve Mackey spoke to Kelly Close from the force's Cybercrime Unit.
