How to report

Child sexual abuse material (CSAM)

Find the reporting form by clicking the REPORT ABUSE button in the main menu bar. First, choose the type of online platform that you accidentally see CSAM or suspected child pornography hosted in (i.e. website, email, Facebook, chatroom, etc.). Then, enter the URL (web address) of the image/video in the box. You can enter more than one URL at a time by using a comma to separate each URL or copy and past the URL into this box.

Remember that you can report anonymously. However, if you choose to provide us your contact information, we will be able to contact you to provide update about your report when it is available. Your contact information will be kept confidential. We reserve the right to not providing information that is deemed confidential. If you don’t wish to provide your personal information, just tick the box ‘I wish to report anonymously’.

Once you have completed the form, hit the SEND button right under the form. After you have clicked the SEND button, you should receive an automated popup message with the thank you note and 8 digit reference number. You can use this number to trace the progress of your report by going to the home page and clicking the CHECK STATUS button right below the slider. Your report status information should be available in 24 hours

Your report does matter!

Please be reassured that your report can always make a difference. The Internet has a huge interest in our society and children. Unfortunately, the Internet can also be used by offenders, for instances, to view, download and/or distribute child sexual abuse material. Offenders can also use the Internet to target children and groom them for sexual abuse/exploitation.

The good news is we, as a responsible adult, can make the Internet a safer place for children to use by sharing our knowledge and advice with them about online safety, and by reporting suspected online child sexual exploitation.

Frequently asked questions

What is CSAM?

The term child sexual abuse material is increasingly being used to replace the term child pornography. This switch of terminology is based on the argument that sexualized material that depicts or otherwise represents children is indeed a representation, and a form, of child sexual abuse, and should not be described as pornography.
