if it's hard for adults. it's got to be tougher for self conscious teens, especially if it involves other kids and sex. so we decided to put teens to the test with their parents observing remotely without them knowing. will these teens say something? would your teen? it's a topic many of us parents would rather avoid. >> not really something that we talk about. >> i haven't talked to him that much about that kind of thing. >> it's uncomfortable talking about sex. >> i never spoke to him about sex. >> you never talked to him about sex. now is the time. >> now is the time, i know. >> we often don't know where to begin. tonight we're going to help get the conversation started. >> it's not just the one big sex talk. it can be lots of little takes you're having with your kids. >> it's not about the birds and the bees. we're addressing some of the very real and sometimes dangerous things teens are confronted with today.

12:04 am
>> it's the epicenter of the investigation -- >> it's wrong on every level. it's privacy. it's respect. >> in some instances kids face criminal charges and fallout for victims can be devastating, from cyber bullying to a ruined reputation, to even suicide. >> for our first test we wanted to see what teens would do when they witness a guy claiming he plans to post an inappropriate photo of a girl -- >> oh, my god. >> -- without her knowledge. to help create a realistic setting, we rented this party space in new jersey complete with card table, darts, pool table and hidden cameras. we mixed in actors and other kids to fill the room and invited teens to what they think
12:05 am
is a taste test of energy drinks. their parents, who know the real reason they're here, agree to bring them because they believe there are important lessons to be learned. the first teen to figure out what to do will be 15-year-old chelsea. she's been dropped off at the party space ready for the taste test. she doesn't know o her mom is outside in a secret command center, outfitted with monitors hooked up to hidden cameras, so she can see chelsea's every move. >> tell me about your relationship with your daughter. >> we have a very open relationship. she's very mature for her age. >> she says chelsea who is an only child, would never post racy pictures of herself and she'd stop someone she knows from doing it. but at this party she's meeting everyone for the first time. >> how do you think your daughter will react in that situation? >> i'm not quite sure if she's going to say how inappropriate it is for him to do that in the

12:07 am
>> that girl is so hot. >> he tells the group he's going to go sneak a pic of our actress. of course, he won't really take a photo. >> i kind of want to get a picture to send to my friends. hold on, i'll be right back. >> chelsea seems unsure of what she just heard. >> for a second, she looked at the girl and i think she kind of dismissed whatever the conversation was. >> oh, my god. >> what happened? >> but that all changes when our actor comes back and shows our accomplice what he says is a topless photo. >> the door was open a crack and she had her shirt off. i have to send it. i'm going to put it on instagram. >> look at her face. >> now chelsea has no doubt about what happened. >> oh, my god. that is amazing. >> so will she do anything to stop him from posting the racy photo online? >> i'm confused. what did she do. >> she's not even wearing a bra. >> no, she's not.

teens say it happens all the time, naked pictures shared online without the person knowing it. it's so common that in a recent survey a third of teen boys reported they had seen nude or semi nude photos of others that were shared without permission. what will 15-year-old chelsea do in this tricky situation? her mom who is outside in our watchmobile says her confident outspoken girl is having a tough time knowing what to do. >> it's bothersome to her. >> remember, our actress left to change her shirt. >> i'm like sweating. >> what happened? >> and our actor said he took a topless photo of her. >> the door was open a crack and she had her shirt off. >> now he says he's going to post it online. >> look at her face. >> i'm going to put it on instagram. >> will she try to stop him? >> that is amazing. >> wait. i'm confused, what did you do?
12:13 am
she starts to challenge him? >> wait. what are you doing? i'm confused. >> don't worry about it. >> chelsea looks upset and turns for help from the girl sitting next to her, but she's in on it, too. and we told her to stay silent. >> don't worry about it. >> look at her whole body. she wants to say something. she's just not sure what to do with this. >> when our actress playing the unsuspecting victim comes back -- >> i feel 100 times better. >> it's another chance for chelsea to try to fix this situation. >> you look really good in that tank top, by the way. >> thank you. >> chelsea looks uncomfortable, her whole demeanor has changed, but she says nothing. >> come with me. >> then both boys leave and chelsea works up the courage to speak out.
12:14 am
it looks like she's going to tell her about the picture. but then -- >> they're like weird. >> it's not what her mother had hoped but she understands why. >> it's eating at her. >> exactly. she's probably more like, i really think i should have done something but i'm not quite sure because i don't know the people. >> i'm going to go in, talk to them. >> how are you guys? are you liking the drinks? >> let's find out what chelsea was thinking. >> you're not here for the taste test. you're here because we wanted to see how you would react in a situation where you faced a difficult challenge. >> just me? just me? >> they know, too? >> what were you feeling? >> i wanted to say something. i was going to go to her privately when we were done with everything.
12:15 am
oh, my god. >> do you worry about what people say about you if you do speak up in a situation? >> that's what kind of surprises me. that's why i asked him what are you doing on your phone. but not knowing them, i felt kind of awkward as well. >> chelsea says she knows what's at stake. >> things could be said about her and she would have no idea what's even going on, and that's not fair to her. >> i think your mom is here. >> oh, gosh. >> time to bring in mom. >> boy, that was tough, huh? >> that was. i'm pretty vocal about stuff, too. >> yes, you are. >> her mom acknowledges chelsea did look for help but got no support. >> it was interesting just watching you look to her as well. >> i was waiting for you to say something. >> this is one of the things that a lot of parents fail to discuss. they don't discuss intervention. they say if you see somebody do something wrong, step in. it's such a blanket statement. >> our expert says if you want your kids to do the right thing,
12:16 am
be more specific, and the best way to do that is through role playing. >> ask your child, what do you think you would say in this moment? if your child is like, i don't know, i would just handle it. no, what would you precisely say? keep role playing, all different kinds of situations so they gain the skill set for themselves. >> for this test, chelsea had to go it alone, but in this next group, three teens will be put to the test. will being in a group make it easier to step in. michaelle is 17, zoe is 16 and kayla is 15. all their moms say they've spoken to their daughters about being careful when it comes to posting anything online. >> i talk to her about that often, especially with getting closer to college. >> michaelle's mom says her daughter is the nurturing type. she's always looking out for her friends. >> you think she feels protective of others if they were in a situation --
12:17 am
>> i want to say yes. her friends always call her the mom. >> when she sees things on social media she's uncomfortable with, she would tell me or speak to her friends about it. >> in this scenario, your prediction is what? >> she's going to speak up and try to intervene. >> kayla's mom says she was born with a strong moral compass. >> she has a very good sense of morality. >> what do you predict she'll do? >> i don't know if she would do it on her own, but i think in a group she would try to do something. >> power in numbers maybe, right? girl power. >> ready to see how they do? >> will they work as a group to try to shut our actor down as their mother predict. >> i'm going to go take a picture of her real quick.
12:18 am
