I’m A Minor Being Blackmailed—what Do I Do?

Card image cap

I’m a minor and I met someone on Discord months ago who said he’d pay me for pictures. I was naive and went along with it, but he never paid and I felt awful about it, so I stopped talking to him.

Now he keeps messaging me and threatening me. Today he said he has videos and photos of me, my family, and my school board info, and demanded I send him more or else. He gave me 5 minutes and said to block him after.

I haven’t sent anything else, but I’m really scared. I have screenshots, his Discord info, and possibly his real name and face

Can someone please help me figure out what to do? I don’t want to be in trouble. I just want to be safe.

Edit: he said to block him after he said so. Not after sending the photo. He is unblocked at the moment

Location: Georgia

ANOTHER EDIT!: I reported him and I posted a video explaining it. This is real and I am serious. I would not fix something like this for attention. I am a minor. I am 14!
