The devastation this predator has caused globally to children, families, communities, law enforcement is incomprehensible. 3,500 children in 30 countries were targeted. At least one took her own life, followed by her father also ending his 18 months later. The ongoing impact will stay forever. The Breck Foundation’s mission to protect children from online abuse and harm is more relevant than ever. We will not stop in our mission to educate and work together with school communities, families, government, professionals, police and social media platforms to ensure children are free from abuse and harm. #onlineharms #onlinesafety #digitalawareness #protectourkids

About us
Breck Foundation is at the forefront of efforts to safeguard children and young people online. Our organisation was founded in 2014 in response to the tragic loss of Breck Bednar, a 14-year-old boy who was groomed and murdered by an online predator. Our work aims to prevent this from ever happening again. Our work saves lives. We are a Southeast England-based charity with national relevance and impact. We reach thousands of children and young people in schools and other community settings with Breck's story every year. Our talks and educational materials fill a gap in the current UK curriculum that otherwise leaves children vulnerable to online grooming and exploitation. We take a whole community approach, working also with teachers, school support staff, parents, private sector employees and the wider UK public to create a network of digital champions – adults we empower to take effective action to protect the wellbeing and lives of young people. We do more than educate; we bring a unique perspective when we work with policymakers across all levels of government and technology companies to create more robust digital policies and practices that put young people’s safety first. With 98% of young people now active internet users, current and future generations grow up having to navigate new and evolving digital dangers. We are committed to making the internet a place where children can live, play and thrive in safety. We are helping young people reclaim the internet.

This is a critical step in ensuring that online spaces become safer for children and vulnerable users. We're excited to see this progress unfold and look forward to the positive changes these new laws will bring!
