In recent weeks, seven girls from Billerica High School as well as Locke and Marshall middle schools told police they received messages on Snapchat asking for inappropriate images.
The girls told police that the user promised to take action against them if the request was denied. The messages came from two separate Snapchat s, using names of real students, according to investigators.
Police have cleared the actual students, saying they are not involved and that the s are fake. Officials are now warning parents to talk to their children about how to safely use social media. The difficult part about Snapchat is that the image only lasts for a short period of time and then deletes, but police are determined to find out who is behind the alarming activity.
Police say the person could face child pornography charges. Out of fear, one girl sent a naked photo, according to police. Anyone who receives a request is asked to immediately notify their parents.
Police have sent letters to families warning them of the recent incidents. Copyright c Sunbeam Television.
