Royals release handbook on dealing with unwanted sexts

The royals are known for speaking out about kids’ health and wellbeing, and the Swedish royal family have now released a handbook for teens on how to deal with unwanted attention online.

Prince Carl Philip and his wife Princess Sofia have teamed up with BRIS (Children’s Rights in Society) to release a ‘Handbook for Parents’, available both online and in print.

The handbook, which landed in the post box of every parent in Sweden with a child who turns 10 this year, gives advice on everything to do with millennials, including ‘d*** pics’ and terms such as ‘Yas’ and ‘Bae’.

According to the Express, the handbook states that teens are getting ‘unwanted sexual questions, propositions and pictures’ while they’re browsing the web.

“It’s become routine that some boys send pictures of their penis to girls, but also to other boys,” the handbook reportedly reads.

“It’s for different reasons: to freak out and exercise power, but also because they think people will like it.

“Girls and boys can certainly send each other pictures out of curiosity, lust and free will, but it’s an illegal act to send sexual pictures, or expose your genitalia, to another person against their will.”

The handbook is also said to contain advice for parents on how to deal with cyberbullying and how to talk to kids when ‘something difficult happens’.

Over in the UK, Prince William spoke about his worries on how much time his kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, will spend online when they’re older.

“This generation are going to be the first generation to grow up fully immersed in mobile phones, social media, lots of stuff,” he told the BBC to mark Anti-Bullying Week last year.

“And yet our generation, the older generation, the parent generation, we’re completely left at, ‘how do we deal this this? Where do we go to? Where do you learn about how to look after your children’s digital world?'”
