Protecting Our Children
Making friends from all over the world is one of the most attractive uses of the internet.Visiting the various websites meant to attract kids with fun activities are wonderful ways for our children to learn with some brillant educational sites and great interactive game playing. Sometimes just a place where you can feel safe to sound off about things is a great resource for kids. Teens and some younger children are meeting and talking to others a simple click away on just about every major search site, or on-line service . Always keep in mind that anyone in a public chat may not be who they claim to be. The anonymity of online correspondence makes it easy for people to misrepresent themselves. Be especially cautious if someone invites you to a "private chat". Even if a site claims its a fun site where you can play with "Uncle Bob" and "Aunt Bettie" don't ever give out any personal information. Get any one of hundreds of free email accounts to give if you need to give an e-mail and only give that with a parents consent and permission.

Reporting Internet Crimes where to turn for help
U.S. Customs
We are looking for offenders that possess, trade, distribute and/or produce pictures that visually depict a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct. Please do not forward these suspected child pornography pictures/images to us as the transmission and/or forwarding of child pornography images is a violation of U.S. Law. Instead, please document the picture's description for us and anything else pertaining to the source (i.e., E-mail address, Internet protocol address, website URL, name and location of chat room, etc). We only investigate based on the limits of the law and the legal definitions of child pornography violations. We do not investigate adult pornography. We are unable to provide you information/feedback on any on-going investigation, however, we keep records of tips that lead to an investigation/arrest/seizure. We investigate sites in other countries and actively work with foreign law enforcement.
We ask that you not intentionally look for child pornography and, in doing so, you may open yourself up to becoming a target. Also, once you enter any websites containing this subject matter, you will be on a "mailing list" of sorts and may start receiving ads and "spams". We, as well as other law enforcement agencies, check chat rooms. We do not shut down sites on the Internet; your Internet service provider (ISP) does.

Thank you again for your interest and dedication. Giving us your tips is the gateway in helping our investigations.

The technological, operational, and legal advances made by the FBI in this investigation will benefit the law enforcement community for many years. If you have information about child pornography or other matters on the Internet which you may believe to be illegal, contact the FBI's Baltimore Office at baltimore@fbi.gov.
