You should never cooperate with anyone on line without knowing exactly with whom you are dealing. If you were sent child pornography you could be in a great deal of trouble.

You should tell your parents about this so that protective measures can be taken and so that they are not taken by surprise and rendered unable to deal with your problem. They may yell at you, but then they will help you and YOU NEED HELP.

The prior response is good advice.

There are a number of NJ agencies presently cruising the Internet seeking to involve curious individuals in what can become a serious criminal prosecution.

Talk with your parents and get in to see an attorney ASAP.

We have a number of lawyers here who could assist you. Please call for an appointment if you are interested.
