As I go through articles, to determine which will be the next article to write on (for class), I came across an article that I have printed and kept in my library a while ago. I feel that this article has potential to educate many of those reading this blog. It is from the FBI and discusses the Innocent Images National Initiative. The IINI is a part of the FBI's Cyber Crimes program. It is intelligence driven, multi-agency operation, which aims at combating child pornography and child exploitation proliferation. They focus on the crimes which are facilitated by the computer and Internet. This initiative analyzes information, and works with state, local, international and federal agencies.
"The mission of the IINI is to reduce the vulnerability of children to acts of sexual exploitation and abuse which are facilitated through the use of computers; to identify and rescue child victims; to investigate and prosecute sexual predators who use the Internet and other online services to sexually exploit children for personal or financial gain; and to strengthen the capabilities of federal, state, local, and international law enforcement through training programs and investigative assistance."
The purpose of posting this information, is to inform people about great law enforcement divisions, which are aiming to cut down on the horrific problem of online crimes. Please explore the IINI website! Every day kids are being victimized. Fight against Crimes Against Children!!! So that no more kids are being victimized!!!
