police proceeds against abuse images

The Bergische police use the European day to protect children from sexual violence to draw attention to the dangers of abuse images. Particularly alarming: the creation and spread of nude pictures or videos of under 14 year olds is punishable! Young people are often careless and lightly exchange such material in the first great love. After a separation, a single click can lead to a criminal offense. With the urgent slogan "Report instead of sharing", young people should be sensitized to protect themselves and others.
