LONDON, Jan. 9 (UPI) -- A British children's charity has unveiled I saw your willy, an animated video aimed at educating kids about the dangers of sending salacious pictures.

The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children's video, posted to the organization's YouTube account and Facebook page Friday, features the cautionary tale of a young boy named Alex who sends a picture of his "willy" to a friend only to have it go viral.

The boy runs through his town, only to be confronted at each turn by people shouting, "I saw your willy!"

"UR willy is rubbish," a bully texts Alex in the video.

The video, along with another as-yet-unseen animation called Lucy and the boy, was created by the NSPCC as part of its Share Aware campaign, which aims to raise awareness of the dangers of sharing personal information and revealing pictures online and via smartphones.

"We tell our children to share but online it's different. In fact sometimes sharing online can be dangerous. That's why we're asking parents to be Share Aware and keep children safe online," the charity said on the campaign's website.
