A9.1: Nudify apps are a form of gender-based violence as they are designed to sexually harass and abuse women and girls. They are also used to extort victims.  Governments should ban them, and they should be removed from all app stores.  #CAPM24

Give them the tools & knowledge to make informed and safe decisions. Be open about the risks involved whilst also informing them of the resources available for support if needed (such as National Center for Missing & Exploited Children ‘Take it Down’ service. #CAPM24

A7: It can have the same psychological impact as viewing ‘real’ CSAM. We mustn’t undermine those experiences and feelings and must treat it with the same level of seriousness & support for survivors affected. #CAPM24

Q6: AI is evolving so fast, it can be difficult to create effective legislation in time. We have to work together with tech companies to ensure technological advances are made under the guidance of child safety orgs & law enforcement with safeguarding policies in place. #CAPM24

National Center for Missing & Exploited Children It's all hands on deck! It cannot be left up to one industry, organization, or field to address the issue. We must all come together to create prevention-oriented communities where we are actively taking a stand against any form of CSAM. #CAPM24

A5: In the U.K. sextortion is a serious cybercrime and can be reported to the police who will conduct an online investigation. If you wish to report it anonymously you can contact Crimestoppers - in the US National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has a ‘Take it Down’ service. #CAPM24

A4: Never trust a stranger online and understand people’s intentions aren’t always what they seem. Predators target children and pretend to be a similar age to their target. Never share any explicit photos or information about yourself. #CAPM24

Sextortion is one of the biggest risks kids and teens face online, but most parents don't understand how it happens. See how it can happen to any kid in NCMEC's new interactive film, NO ESCAPE ROOM. noescaperoom.org

A3: Allowing children and teens to express their emotions and feelings without feeling they have to say what the individual is wanting them to say. #CAPM24

A3. No is a complete sentence. Ensure your child knows they have bodily autonomy - if something feels wrong or makes someone uncomfortable in any way, no explanation or apology is needed. Just No. #CAPM24

A3. Educate children about their rights & values so they feel safe to say no when they feel uncomfortable in a situation. Foster an environment of respect, honesty, trust, & clear communication to build a strong foundation for healthy relationships & personal boundaries. #CAPM24

National Center for Missing & Exploited Children A#2 Accept that kids online will be contacted by predators, teach kids you are their Safe Adult, they can come to you, listen to & validate their feelings if they feel unsafe/uncomfortable, remind kids to come to you no matter how uncomfortable they are

A3: Lead by example in the way you behave toward others, communicate openly and regularly about the importance of respect, consent & boundaries #CAPM24

A: Create an environment in which children feel safe to talk about things without fear of getting in trouble. Be conscious that children use social media platforms when engaging with new people online.

A: Tell a trusted/safe adult & make a report
