If i was in your situation i would speak to her, ask her why she's doing this and whether shes aware of all the risks she may hve to battle? After the chat, if she seemed to be unreasonable or naive or just didn't care, i would tell the parents...however it is her own life and if thats what she wants to do then theres no point alarming your parents so do what you wants to do

I would talk to my sister first. In fact...if it was me, I would try and talk to my sister and ry to get the images off the internet. If she dosen't want to listen...then I would leave it alone and let it be her business.

I would talk to her personally, let her know that you saw some things on the net of her, see what she has to say. She may need help, she may be stuck in some God-awful situation and she needs someone to help her out of it. After talking to her and finding out what the deal is, I would let her know that either she needs to come forward to your family or you will do it for her.

Your sister has gone down a hard road so early in life. You are best to bring it to the families attention, and go from there.

Yes i would urge you to speak to your parents asap and also your sister. I am against pornography, certainly on the internet as it is so easily accessible and young girls as in the case of your sister are being exploited. Please do everything to make sure these pictures are removed, although i am sure your parents will see to this. The internet is a paedophiles paradise and it sickens me that these predators can see images that to us are shocking.

You should first try talking to her personally about it before going to your parents.If she donst seem to care about what you are trying to do(AKA helping her) you should ask your parents to talk to her

How old was she when she did this anyway? Under 16 is illegal and the lads could be prosecuted. It would be paedophilia. You don't know how long this has been going on but it looks like a mental health issue about to explode to me and she needs support. I wonder how you found these? You need to tell her first, but be aware that she may not know they are there. Get some advice from Childline.

I agree with the other aunt. I would also suggest telling your sister first, but also telling her that if she doesn't tell your parents then you will. If you can retain her trust during this it will help. She may feel betrayed by you, and that will not help you to help her, which is what you need to do.

well honestly if it were my sister I would confront her first. I know this is a big deal but you do not want to break the trust between sister especially if she may need you in the near future.

This is extremely important you tell the person responsible for your sister - and then organise to go to the appropiate authorities to get the images/material removed.This is a serious violation of pornographic law, and should be handled immediately - no more waiting.Ryan
