Clare thought she knew…
Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre, is a British Centre that is dedicated to eradicating the sexual abuse of children. This means they are part of UK policing and very much about tracking and bringing offenders to account either directly or in partnership with local and international forces. At the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre, they work committed to prevent sexual abuse of children in both online and offline environments. Sexual abusers have found their platform, Internet.
Just a click away, CEOP and Microsoft partnership makes reporting potential sex offenders easier in MSN and Windows Live Messenger. Millions of young people in the UK who use Windows Live Messenger or MSN Messenger to chat online with friends are now just one click away from making a report to police if they are concerned their online ‘buddy’ is a sex offender.
What Microsoft and the CEOP are doing today is saying is ‘enough is enough’. By working together in a very clear and tangible way we can safeguard children from online sexual predators.
Behind the report abuse button will sit police and intelligence officers who have been specially trained to tackle child sex abuse. We will tell you how to capture information and how to seize online discussions and then proactively do all we can to track down the perpetrator.
Microsoft’s partnership with the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre – the UK’s first dedicated organization focused on tackling child sex abuse – has brought about a new ‘safer-by-design’ element to the UK’s most popular instant messenger product. This page shows you how to get started.
According to CEOP a total of 297 alleged abusers have been picked up by officers from the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre and 131 children protected from further harm. Ten of the highest risk offenders were also caught after their details were posted on the centre’s ‘Most Wanted‘ website.
So watch out for social networks, this is the new playground of sexual abusers. Use the red button, tell people about the red button. Stop Internet abuse!!

I imagine it can’t be easy as a parent to know everything your child is doing, especially not online, so it’s good that someone is taking responsibility to prevent children from online sexual predators. Some may question the ethics concerning the potential sex offenders; can mixed signals lead to incorrect accusations? However, as you write; use the red button, and stop the Internet abuse!

I believe in this kind of work. I also think spreading this information that the red button is one click away may prevent some of the offenders to take the next step. I saw a documentary once from the states regarding the same issue. The ethical question about mixing the signals was also here a topic. But the real concern was the number of offenders that was so obvious. They where so many that they didn`t have the capacity to arest them all. And this was in one particular area. This is frightening. So keep up the work of stopping the abusers.

I agree with Ronny here, that the real value of this lies in it as a preventative tool. I may make sexual predators stop and think of the consequences before taking action.
