#StopChildAbuse
Online child sexual abuse and exploitation is a reality. It may be difficult to accept, but any child can be a victim in any of its multiple forms. Therefore, the involvement of families, schools and society as a whole is essential in understanding, preventing, reducing and dealing with this type of risks.
