Carmel, NY asked in Family Law, Federal Crimes, Internet Law and Juvenile Law for Louisiana

Q: How can I help them?

Hi, my little sister is 14 and she sent a video of herself being being sexual to two of her male classmates on a app called Snapchat. One of the boys recorded her from another phone and his mother found it. Now she wants to discuss the matter with my mother since the boy sent it around school. If this turns into a legal matter, is there anything I can do to help my mom and sister. This all occurred in Louisiana and no charges have been pressed yet

A: There may be implications from both a criminal and child protection standpoint. I'd certainly recommend that your mother contact an attorney who is familiar with both criminal and family law matters.
