First thing I would say is support the child.
18:03
Make sure the child knows that you're there, that you're going to help them through this, that this is in no way their fault.
18:10
That applies whether it's AI generated or not.
18:13
Even if they've in any way been involved in the creation, they need to know that this is not their fault and they're going to be supported through it.
18:21
Don't punish them in any way, like by saying you shouldn't have been on your phone anyway, anything like that, because this isn't the child's fault and they need support.
18:31
Secondly, as I say, contact law enforcement.
18:34
Even if it's not an emergency, you then contact them via the non-emergency channels.
