Sextortion – What is it?

I watched an interesting documentary on Monday night this week, on the topic of Sextortion. This is a growing concern for our young people living in this complex digital world. It is a wellbeing issue that I have experienced first-hand, through counselling students in our Hamilton region who have been victims of sextortion. We often think these things won’t happen to us, or our children, however this is a misconception.
