I just wanted to throw this out there for everyone. I know we run a pretty safe site here at TLI, but the latest report about child exploitation being on the rise in Illinois is something we all need to be aware of, especially if any of our members visit other teen chat and gaming sites, as well as use Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Snapchat. The child predators are out there, posing as teens and kids, so everyone please be alert and again, do not give out any personal information, or do anything on cam, or in photo's that can be used against you. My rule has always been "if it is something I would not want my parents to see, then no one else is going to either".
Here is the article that came out today.
Online child sexual exploitation reports on the rise
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WICS/WRSP) — Reports of online child sexual exploitation are increasing across Illinois.
Illinois State Police Director Brendan Kelly and Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul shone a spotlight on the rising problem at a press conference on Thursday, May 27.
The Illinois Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force received 5,184 CyberTipline reports from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) in 2020.
Raoul expects a 16% increase in reports during 2021.
“Criminal investigations are increasingly digital, and that demands greater investments in training and technology and greater partnership between local, state and federal law enforcement agencies to pursue criminal activity in the cyber world,” Illinois State Police Director Brendan F. Kelly said. “This partnership with the Attorney General to investigate and prosecute Internet Crimes Against Children is the perfect example of those priorities, investments and joint criminal investigative approach.”
The Attorney General's Office says the increase in reports is likely due to multiple factors.
Most of the reports involved the abuse of children by adults.
The task force also saw a rise in reports from Snapchat and Instagram of youths sharing minors’ self-produced content.
To report suspected online child sexual exploitation, please contact local law enforcement or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children CyberTipline at 1-800-THE-LOST.
