Helsinki, 7 May - The police are closely monitoring the international, extremely violent "The Com" network that operates online and in the real world, and there are indications that its activities have also reached Finland. The network's victims include children, young people and vulnerable people in particular. The police are asking those close to children and young people to be vigilant in this matter.

We are thrilled to invite all professionals in the field to The Justice Initiative Nordic Hub Conference in Stockholm, a high-level event dedicated to advancing child protection efforts to prevent and end child sexual abuse and exploitation across the Nordic countries.

Protect Children is honored to contribute to Europol’s strong efforts to prevent and end technology-facilitated crimes of sexual violence against children.

When a child is sexually abused, they’re most likely to tell a friend first. All too often, the abuse is never reported – meaning too many children are not getting the help they need. That’s we are launching #MyFriendToo U.S. this Child Abuse Prevention Month – to help young people help their friends disclose sexual abuse to a safe adult.
