The problem of online child pornography is one not easily understood or acknowledged. From our work here at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, we have come to learn much about child sexual abuse.
We know most victims are abused by someone they know. Like Amy’s uncle, they are a trusted family member or friend who has legitimate access to the child.
Of the cases we intake, about half of victims are girls (57 percent) and half are boys (43 percent). Seventy-six percent, like Amy, are victims of child pornography before they hit puberty. Of this number, 10 percent are infants or toddlers.

In 2012 alone, over 400,000 reports were submitted to NCMEC’s CyberTipline of persons suspected of possessing, manufacturing, or distributing child pornography.This is good news for NCMEC analysts. Increased reporting to the CyberTipline means more children are protected, more abusers arrested and more child sexual abuse content is removed from the Internet.

Please think about Amy when you are browsing the Internet. If you see or suspect child sexual exploitation online, report it to the CyberTipline at www.cybertipline.com or 1-800-843-5678.

In Amy’s own words: “I am being exploited and used every day and every night somewhere in the world by someone.”
