According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, people who have legitimate access to children are some of the cybersame individuals who are producing child pornography. It is a federal crime to have child porn in your possession. The Cyber Tipline was created to report these types of crimes against children. You can call the tip center with information on people who manufacture, distribute or have child pornography in their possession or if you receive images in your e-mail.

If you know of children who are being recruited for these disgusting acts, please report that to the tip line as well.

It is also a federal crime to send obscene material to any child under the age of 16. Take a look at the helpful information under the Cyber Tipline to understand more about protecting the youth.
