If I see something illegal or suspicious, should I report it?
Yes. If you think your child is being 'groomed' by a paedophile, contact your local police. If you can, save all evidence such as emails and chat room conversations.
If you come across anything you think is illegal, such as images of child abuse, contact the Internet Watch Foundation at www.iwf.org.uk. This is a body funded by the Internet industry. They aim to have illegal material removed from the Internet and will refer it to the police.
