Sextortion

Child Focus decided to focus this year's edition of the Safer Internet Day on sextortion, an upcoming issue where teens are meeting a new 'hot' contact online and are quickly asked to get undressed in front of their webcam if they want to see more of their new friend... unfortunately, once the video has been made, the teenager is asked to pay a large amount of money or the video will be shared amongst his or her friends and family. Unfortunately, the blackmailing does not stop even if the payment is made.

As a rather new and unknown phenomenon, Child Focus wants to inform the public and raise awareness on this issue. Through a short yet light-hearted video, they will understand the motives and criminal aspects of the matter.
