(Minors who are aware of abuse videos featuring themselves can reach NCMEC via its Get Help Now site.) “Even if they’re not totally sure, even if they just have a sneaking suspicion, or the feeling that it might be, we would way rather get those reports in,” she said.

Its success in tracking down and eliminating child sexual abuse material depends in part on participation of members of the public who come across it. Similarly, words, categories, subjects that might refer to illegal content cannot even appear in a description.”Īllwang reminded me that NCMEC is a reactive organization. “If we’re not able to verify the age of someone in an amateur video, or if we sense anything suspicious, the content does not appear on the site. “If anything, we’re overly cautious,” he added.
