Protect children from abuse

The intentional viewing or possession of sexually explicit imagery of minors is illegal.

Report abuse

If you encounter child sexual abuse images or material online, report it to the Canadian Centre for Child Protection.

Your report will lead to the removal of child sexual abuse material from the web and could help rescue a child victim from further abuse.
