Child Pornography…
behind every picture
there’s pain.

Look into the eyes of a child who has been sexually abused
and you'll see pain – a pain that endures long after the bruises
have healed. This pain is compounded by child molesters who
create images of the sexual abuse and share them with other
child molesters. They trade them in chatrooms and post them
on thousands of websites. These people are making money
from the pain of children. Help us stop these dangerous criminals.
If you see child pornography, report it. We'll make sure those Report It … Don’t Support It.

Cyberbullying

What it is:
http://www.stopcyberbullying.org/

"Cyberbullying" is when a child, preteen


or teen is tormented, threatened,
harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or
otherwise targeted by another child,
preteen or teen using the Internet,
interactive and digital technologies or
mobile phones. It has to have a minor on
both sides, or at least have been
instigated by a minor against another
minor. Once adults become involved, it
is plain and simple cyber-harassment or
cyberstalking. Adult cyber-harassment
or cyberstalking is NEVER called
cyberbullying.
