Dear Reporter,
Your report has now been recorded and was assigned
the following reference number:
REPORT ID: 545349
The following information was recorded:
Category: Child Sexual Abuse Content
Internet Location: WWW
URL: http://imgsrc.ru/users/jaredThank you very much for contacting the Internet Watch Foundation.
Our role is to trace potentially illegal content and then to work with internet service providers, police agencies and other bodies in Britain and abroad to have that content removed and potential offenders investigated. There may be occasions when potentially illegal websites reported to us remain active for a while after we have taken action to have them taken down. We keep this situation under constant review and persist in our efforts to have them removed.
Due to the volume of reports we process we regret that we are unable to reply personally to every incoming message. However please be assured that your report will be thoroughly investigated within 24 hours of receipt during weekdays and the next working day after weekends or bank holidays unless exceptional circumstances prevail.
Have you been distressed by what you have seen?
We recognise that some people are upset or distressed by their experience of being exposed to the reported content. You may wish to consider talking about this experience with a friend, your GP or a professional counsellor as recommended by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Visit their website at http://www.bacp.co.uk/
Do you have concerns about the safety of a child?
If you have concerns about the safety of a child or suspect that they are being abused then please contact the NSPCC Child Protection Helpline on 0808 800 5000 or visit their website at https://www.nspcc.org.uk/nspcc/helpline
Are you worried about your own thoughts and behaviour towards children?
If you are worried about your own thoughts or behaviour towards children you can get help at the Stop it Now website at http://www.stopitnow.org.uk/about.htm
The remainder of this response considers the various types of content which might be concerning you and explains whether we can deal with it and, if so, how we will act.
Reports of potential child sexual abuse content
If we find the content is hosted in Britain then we will ask the police to work together with the ISP to have the offender(s) investigated and the content 'taken down'.
If the content is assessed as potentially illegal under domestic legislation but hosted outside Britain then we always notify the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP)(UK) who then disseminate that information to the relevant national law enforcement agency via Interpol.
If the country where the content is hosted operates a Hotline like ours then we will also notify them. A list of countries providing hotlines can be found at http://www.inhope.org
If we assess the content you reported as not to contain images of child sexual abuse but instead it depicts adult content then we can only take action if it is judged to be criminally obscene and is hosted in the UK
Criminal liability
If you have inadvertently accessed suspected child sexual abuse images online, or been the victim of an unsolicited e mail that possibly contained child sexual abuse content then we advise you to delete all records of the reported material from your computer. Under current UK law, accidental exposure to such content does not make you criminally liable, but we must advise you that this is not the case if you deliberately seek out such content.
Newsgroups
We regularly monitor newsgroups. If a newsgroup is found to regularly contain indecent images of children or is advertising that fact then we have a system to recommend to all UK ISPs that they should not carry the suspect newsgroup.
Peer-to-Peer (P2P)
We are aware of many file sharing programs and realise that they are open to abuse. The services are based on a peer-to-peer system, without any ISP involvement.
The Police are responsible for investigating apparent criminal behaviour by individual internet users but we do pass on reports to the police on several of the most well known ftp programs, Limewire, Kazaa etc. If you have information that could assist in identifying a crime or the prevention of crime, please notify your local police.
Criminally obscene adult content
If the content you reported is verified as potentially illegal adult content hosted in the UK then we will notify the Obscene Publications and Internet Crime Unit of the Metropolitan Police and alert the relevant Internet Service Provider.
We regret that under current arrangements we cannot take further formal action if the content is hosted outside the UK.
Incitement to racial hatred
Our current remit permits us to consider potential incitement to racial hatred content providing it is hosted in the UK. In such cases we liaise with the police and the ISP concerned. This might result in the removal of the content and a criminal investigation by the police.
As with criminally obscene adult material, we cannot take further formal action if the content is hosted outside the UK.
Filtering and blocking solutions
There are ways to prevent you and your family from being inadvertently exposed to harmful content. The most popular method is to install special software on your computer that filters and blocks content that you don't want to see. This option is fully explained on our website at http://www.iwf.org.uk/public/page.28.htm
Feedback
If you require further information on this report please allow 5 working days before using the feedback form provided on our website at http://www.iwf.org.uk/contact/index.html Please remember to include your unique ID reference number.
Thank you for taking the time and trouble to submit your report. We appreciate your interest and support because together we can make a difference in minimising the availability of illegal content on the internet and preventing the further abuse of children.
