Campaigns like this bring much-needed education to help families recognize these threats early. By equipping young people with knowledge and directing them to resources like NCMEC’s CyberTipline, and Take it Down, we can better protect them from falling victim to online exploitation.” – John Shehan, a Senior Vice President from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children No matter what, Sextortion is never your fault.

On Oct. 10, 1983, America revisited the abduction and murder of 6-year-old Adam Walsh, in the NBC movie, “Adam.” Just two years prior, Adam Walsh was kidnapped from a Hollywood, Florida shopping mall. Directly following the movie, which premiered to a tv audience of millions, NBC aired 55 photos of other missing children to help bring them home. The names of all the missing children were read by Adam’s father, and NCMEC co-founder, John Walsh.

INHOPE Summit Live: “Reporting is an important part of prevention” - Lauren C. Prevention is always better than the cure, but when things do go wrong it’s vital young people have a safety net they can rely on to receive the support they need. Chris Hughes from the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) and Lauren Coffren from NCMEC - Texas Regional Office highlighted the tools their respective organisations created to empower young people to take back control of intimate images online. They shared about the history and development of ReportRemove and TakeItDown – two tools that utilise hash matching technology to remove non-consensual intimate images as soon as the images appear online.
