OXFORD COUNTY - The Oxford OPP are reminding parents to monitor your kids online activity after a local teen was harassed by a stranger they met online. 

Police say the teenage girl started to receive text messages from the stranger on Saturday. They told the young girl, that they were in possession of inappropriate photographs and videos and were threatening to release them.

Police are warning all computer users to be cautious, because once something is put out on the internet, it can live forever. 

Oxford OPP detachment Commander, Inspector Tony Hymers says parents and teens, need to made themselves aware of these dangers. 

"Everyone needs to realize the long and short term dangers of sending out photographs or videos of themselves. Those who distribute it also need to be aware of the criminal ramifications of doing so. Once it's out there, you can't get it back and you should not be embarrassed to speak to police about your concerns."
