Think Before You Post

Millions of childrens and teens using Webcams, microphones, and digital cameras to post videos, photos, and audio files online and engage in video conversations.

Is it Safe ?

Webcam sessions and photos can be easily captured, and users can continue to circulate those images online. In some cases people believed they were interacting with trusted friends but later found their images were distributed to others or posted on web sites.

You may come across offensive or inappropriate images and videos while surfing the web.

Cautions

Use webcams or post photos online only with your parents' and guardians' knowledge and supervision.

1. Ask yourself if you would be embarrassed if your friends or family saw the pictures or video you post online. If the answer is yes, then you need to stop.
2. Be aware of what is in the camera’s field of vision and remember to turn the camera off when it is not in use.
3. Be careful about posting identity-revealing or sexually provocative photos. Don’t post photos of others — even your friends — without permission from your friends’ parents or guardians. Remember - once such images are posted you give up control of them and you can never get them back.

What to Report

• Anyone you don't know who asks you for personal information, photos or videos.
• Unsolicited obscene material from people or companies you don't know.
• Misleading URLs on the Internet that point you to sites containing harmful materials rather than what you were looking for.
• Anyone who wants to send you photos or videos containing obscene content of individuals 18 and younger. (The possession, manufacturing, or distributing of child pornography is illegal.)
• Online enticement for offline sexual activities. (No one should be making sexual invitations to you online – and it’s an especially serious crime for adults to do it.)

What to do ?

If any of the above happens to you or a friend, tell an adult you trust and report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children's CyberTipline.
