Virtual Global Taskforce (VGT) - REPORT ABUSE

VGT REPORT ABUSE

Report Abuse

The Virtual Global Taskforce (VGT) is actively involved in investigating suspicious behaviour online with or towards a child.
The Report Abuse button is an effective mechanism for reporting suspected sexual predator behaviour.
Sexual predator behaviour includes:

• making and downloading images of children being sexually abused
• approaching a child online for sex (e.g. sexual activity via text or webcam)
• grooming – this is the deliberate actions taken by an adult to form a trusting relationship with a child online, with the intent of later facilitating sexual contact. This can take place in chat rooms, instant messaging, social networking sites and email
• contact offending – once contact has been made with a child online, child sex offenders then move towards meeting up in person for sexual purposes.

If you or a child is in immediate danger, contact your local police.
If there is no immediate danger to you or a child, you can report directly to the VGT:

• Australia
• Canada
• Italy
• Republic of Korea
• Netherlands
• New Zealand
• United Arab Emirates
• United Kingdom
• United States of America

Example reports are available on the case studies page.

Virtual Global Taskforce (VGT) Presentation

The Virtual Global Taskforce (VGT) seeks to build an effective, international partnership of law enforcement agencies, non government organizations and industry to help protect children from online child abuse.

The objectives of the VGT are:

- to make the internet a safer place
- to identify, locate and help children at risk
- to hold perpetrators appropriately to account

The VGT logo reaffirms the VGT's purpose that the child is the key focus of the VGT and the eye is always roaming the internet, across international borders, watching over our children to keep them safe online.

Online child sexual abuse is a global crime and so it is vital that it is policed at a global level.

As a global response to this global problem, a number of VGT law enforcement agencies have come together across the digital divide to combat online child sexual abuse worldwide.

The successes of the VGT relies on the strong international partnerships involved. The VGT comprises the following members:

• Australian Federal Police
• National Crime Agency’s Child Exploitation and Online Protection Command, United Kingdom
• Colombian National Police
• Dutch National Police, Netherlands
• Europol
• Indonesian National Police
• INTERPOL
• Italian Postal and Communication Police Service
• Korean National Police Agency
• Royal Canadian Mounted Police, The Canadian Police Centre for Missing and Exploited Children/Behavioural Science Branch
• New Zealand Police
• Ministry of Interior for the United Arab Emirates
• U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI)
• Cybercrime Coordination Unit Switzerland

The development of international relationships, networks and communications amongst industry and non government organisations is crucial to the VGT’s efforts to investigate online crime and combat online child exploitation.
