In March of 2022 Jenn’s son Jordan took his own life after being catfished online and sextorted. Sextortion, or sexual extortion, occurs when an online actor threatens to release a victim's intimate photos or videos for financial gain. These people tend to target youth between the ages of 14 and 24. In Jordan’s case his culprits were caught, but very few are. Almost always, the guilty party is overseas. There have been multiple teens taking their lives in very similar situations as Jordan’s in Canada and the US. What should young people know about the dangers of sextortion? What can we do as parents? And what are social media outlets doing about it?
