The “Send this
Instead” app empowers kids giving them a voice when they are under pressure to
send intimate images of themselves online.
Have
you heard about this app?
Members of the
Ontario Provincial Police, Child Sexual Exploitation Unit in Ontario, have
launched a sexting alternative app for teens called Send This Instead.
They
asked all the funny people they knew, “What would you say if someone asked you
to send images you didn’t want to?” They then took their answers and made
posters and developed the app. The posters are witty, sarcastic and meant to
help get the point across – using humor as a strategy.
The
app is available on Android and Apple devices.
