We cannot protect against what we are not aware of.
In the first half of 2025, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) saw sharp increases in new and evolving crimes targeting children on the internet, including online enticement, use of artificial intelligence and child sex trafficking. Online enticement reports to the CyberTipline jumped from 292,951 in 2024 to 518,720 in 2025. Reports of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) related to child sexual exploitation soared from 6,835 reports to 440,419.
Not my child. Don’t be so sure.
One out of five children said they have been solicited or contacted by a predator online in the past year. So, if it’s not your child, it is a child you know and love.
The long-term mental health issues of online exploitation include feelings of being violated, betrayed, and duped. They include self-blame, depression, anxiety, and shame. Too many youths consider and attempt suicide.
