22.01.2022 Sharing child abuse material online regardless of your intentions is a crime. Behind every picture and video is a child who is being abused. If you repost or share this material you are committing a crime and perpetuating the cycle of abuse. We urge the Australian community not to share this material. Report it instead. If you see child abuse material online, report to www.eSafety.gov.au/report who can help get it removed.... If a child is being contacted or groomed by a potential offender, make a report at www.accce.gov.au/report. If you believe a child is in immediate danger, call Triple Zero (000) or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 to report in confidence.

15.01.2022 A 19-year-old Adelaide man was arrested by the South Australia Police Joint Anti Child Exploitation Team (SA JACET) at a train station on Thursday, 27 August 2020 where he was allegedly waiting to meet a 14-year-old girl he had groomed online. The man is expected to face court where the police will allege the man believed he had been speaking online to a 14-year-old girl since July, but it was actually a covert police officer posing as a child. Australian Federal Police Detec...tive Acting Superintendent Gavin Stone said the conversations allegedly became sexual in nature and the 19-year-old kept requesting to meet in person. He allegedly asked the girl to wear a short skirt and no underwear. In February 2020, the Australian Federal Police-led ACCCE received a report from the United States' National Center for Missing & Exploited Children about an Australian allegedly uploading child abuse material to social media. The ACCCE identified the 19-year-old Adelaide man as the person uploading the abhorrent image. Full story: https://www.accce.gov.au/news-and-me/releases//29Aug-SAman

15.01.2022 Some people may believe technical actions such as parental controls and other filters are enough to keep children and young people safe online, but sometimes more is needed. There is no ‘quick fix’ when it comes to online safety or protecting your children from harm. It is important to use a range of prevention strategies, including open and honest conversations with children and young people about their online activities as well as technical actions. ThinkUKnow Australia pro...vides great resources to help families start these conversations, including a Family Online Safety Contract.
