Book Description

Child pornography and the sexual abuse of children through misuse of the media and the Internet are complex yet closely related issues. Not only do they necessitate complex solutions, they also demand a social response from all sectors of society. This volume records the response of these various sectors and shows how individuals and organizations can cooperate effectively. It describes the major work being carried out in some African countries, in Albania, Brazil, Guatemala, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka, and shows the efforts being made to share information and build networks. A reference section provides the site locations or organizations that have made significant advances in protecting children online. In addition, this book offers an action plan to encourage cooperation with others in the same fields in a coherent and coordinated manner.

This review is from: Child Abuse on the Internet: Ending the Silence (Paperback)

Here is a book for anyone with children or who spends a lot of time on the 'Net. The collection of topics is relevant, insightful and although deeply disturbing, vital to understand the ease with which a predator can victimize the young. Essential reading.
