Sexual content involving minors
Grooming, exploitation, or attempts to contact minors for sexual purposes

Sharing private information about minors without consent
Bullying, harassment, threats, or targeted abuse of minors
Violating this policy may result in removal of content, permanent bans, and reports to appropriate authorities.
