Several police departments in the area are warning users to not share a video that’s been circulating on Facebook.

Authorities say the video shows a pornographic image of a young girl and an adult man.

Police say agencies from several other states have also received reports. 

After the video began circulating on Facebook, several law enforcement agencies throughout the country began investigating.

Those agencies are also warning people to not share the video because it is illegal.

KLFY received the video from several concerned views and we reported the matter to Facebook.  

Police say if a pornographic image shows up on your page, you need to contact Facebook immediately and delete it from your account.

“Sharing said image is considered distribution and you could be criminally charged for doing so,” the department said. “We understand that sharing information sometimes brings a criminal to justice, but sharing amongst Facebook friends is not the way to do it.”

Police say once the image is reported on Facebook, the company will notify law enforcement immediately.

Other agencies, including the Chicago Police Department, have said they are investigating as well.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, social media users began contacting authorities “regularly” to report the video Friday night.
