Police warn: Abuse images for children are so dangerous!

Police warn: Abuse images for children are so dangerous!

Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis, Deutschland - Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis (ots)

The police are alarm!: On the occasion of the tenth "European day to protect children from sexual exploitation and sexual violence" on Monday (November 18), the dangers of the spread of abuse images are pointed out.

Every creation, sending or saving nude pictures or videos of children -people under the age of 14 -is not only morally reprehensible, it is also punishable! Anyone who is involved in such practices violates Section 184b of the Criminal Code and is therefore punishable. It is tragic that teenagers in particular often deal with sensitive images carelessly, which can lead to the spread of such content, especially after separations when feelings tilt. At a moment, friendly actions can become dangerous crimes!

Report instead of sharing: plain text for the youth!

The police call up all young people to handle such content carefully. The slogan "Reporting instead of sharing" is not just a simple advice, but a crucial call to consider the negative consequences of spreading sexual representations. In an emergency, those affected should know that it is always better to search for help than to spread problematic content!
