But the reality is unfortunately different. Children repeatedly become victims of sexual abuse. This often creates images that are distributed and shared worldwide.
Always report child pornography!
It must be clear to everyone that not only sexual abuse itself is a crime , but also the sharing and distribution of child pornographic material . Anyone who witnesses such actions or possesses and distributes material is also liable to prosecution.
Act and report!
As adults, it is important to also sensitize children and young people in this regard. Recordings of child sexual abuse are also spread carelessly by children and young people via WhatsApp, messengers or social networks - thereby committing crimes and further traumatizing victims. It is extremely important to stop the spread of such content immediately and report it.
The police have developed a comprehensive FAQ (frequently asked questions) where they have compiled and answered many frequently asked questions about child pornography, such as questions about criminal liability, gray areas and reporting channels.
Please note: The following FAQ is not exhaustive. They represent only a part of the questions that the police are confronted with in their work against the distribution of child pornography and youth pornography.
