Many youth who look for this content do not realize that it is illegal for them to look at it, even if they are a minor themselves. Where multiple children were seen in the images and videos, we saw that Category C images accounted for nearly half. In these images the children are often displaying their genitals and are with another child who may or may not also be displaying themselves. Some adults form ‘friendships’ with minors online with the intention of eventually meeting to sexually abuse them. The process of developing a relationship with a child with the intention of sexually abusing them is often called ‘grooming’, a series of warning signs in a person’s behaviors that can increase a child’s vulnerability and their risk of being sexually abused. The Organization for Pornography and Sexual Exploitation Survivors (PAPS) is a nonprofit organization that offers counseling on how to request deletion of online child porn images and videos.

Thinking About Safety and Support SystemsAnd that makes me think about how it may be helpful for you to work on a Safety Plan for yourself. Planning ahead for unexpected situations or things that make you feel unsafe can be helpful in minimizing risk. Safety planning – which may include keeping a schedule, having a support person to call, or finding new ways to connect with friends and peers – can be especially helpful now when so many of our regular support networks have changed or fallen away.
The Dark Web of Child Porn
Childline counsellors have come across a number of cases in which under-18s, some of whom are vulnerable, reference their use of OnlyFans. The deputy head asked to be anonymous to protect the identities of the children. In its response, OnlyFans says all active subscriptions would now be refunded. It said it is now liaising with the police, but had not previously been contacted about the account.

Our Think Before You Share campaign aims to help young people understand the harm of sharing explicit images and videos of themselves, and child porn others, and encourage parents and educators to start timely conversations with children and young people. Speaking to eNCA following the arrest of a Midrand couple accused of possessing and distributing at least 10 million child sexual abuse videos and images, Ephraim Tlhako from the Film and Publication Board said there is renewed concern about the crime. It is also important to recognize the risk of youth crossing boundaries with other youth online. Youth can also face legal consequences for child sexual abuse material despite their own status as a minor.
Child sexual abuse can be a very confusing topic, both to adults and to children. Below are six clarifications of common misunderstandings many adults have articulated on our Helpline while attempting to make sense out of confusing situations. Typically, Child Protective Services (CPS) will accept reports and consider investigating situations where the person being abusive is in a caretaking role for the child – parent, legal guardian, childcare provider, teacher, etc.
