The Internet has created an exciting new world of information and communication for anyone with access to online services. While this world offers unparalleled opportunities for children and adults to learn about the universe we live in, some risks and dangers exist for children as they travel through Cyberspace. This may include access to illegal content on the web or receiving inappropriate and unsolicited e-mail or chat messages. In addition, individuals who prey on children have quickly adapted to the online community of the Information Age and often use computer technology to seek unsupervised access to and contact with children.
To better safegaurd children while online, the CyberTipLine was formed, a joint effort of key public and private sector leaders. The CyberTipLine was created for individuals to report incidents of child sexual exploitation including:
- Possession, manufacture, and distribution of child pornography
- Online enticement of children for sexual acts
- Child prostitution
- Child sex tourism
- Child sexual molestation (not in the family)
The CyberTipLine operates 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, and is fully staffed to handle leads and then distribute those leads to the appropriate law enforcement agencies.
