Clare thought she knew…
May 1, 2009Child 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!!
