on
Internet
Right now there are
thousands of pedophiles surfing in children’s misery on the
Internet.Pedophile networks are using the Internet to spread
child pornography throughout the world.Innocent victims are being stripped of their
childhood, defiled to feed perverted lust.This organised rape of the young occurs
because someone is willing to pay, while others close there
eyes or look the other way. Protected by a data screen, the chances of
net pedophiles being caught have been minimal.
Until now.
Instead of the net becoming a speakeasy for
pedophiles, Save The Children Norway want to use it as a
weapon to stop them.But we need all the help we can get. Every time you find any form of child
pornography on the net, or networking among child
abusers, use our e-mail
[email protected]
and inform us.We will pass substantiated information on to
the Norwegian police, who will channel it to the correct
international authorities.By tracing pedophile activity we can
together hope to destroy it.
Workshop Children’s House Links
Redd Barna (Save The
Children Norway) in co-operation with the Norwegian
Ombudsman for Children, Trond Waage, presented an initiative
to fight child pornography on the net at the first World
Congress Against Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children
in late August 1996.
The three main points:
1.
1. We have established the child pornography
tips e-mail
2.
2. All information on child pornography or
networking among child abusers is greatly appreciated.
Substantiated information will be passed on to the Norwegian
police, who will channel it to the correct international
authorities. If you desire, we will keep your input
anonymous.
3. 3. Save The Children Norway are against censorship on the net. Free
flow of information on the net is precious and should be
guarded. But we should also try to fight crime in
CyberSpace, as we do in the real world. Maybe a CyberCop is
the answer? We welcome your viewpoints on how to fight
documented child abuse ( i.e. child pornography) on the net,
without abusing freedom of speech.
Participate
in the discussion in our interactive
workshop!
In 1997 we received 1945 messages from all over the world. Substantiated information has been handed over to the police, who have taken the necessary actions.
