Just about everyone is aware of the dangers that can lurk online, but does everyone know there is help if you determine there has been a crime committed online or your child is being harassed?

Broward County Sheriff's department has an Internet Safety page on their website which can help you learn more about online safety.  Within this page you will learn about the CyberTipline which is available to everyone.

What is the CyberTipline?


The Congressionally-mandated CyberTipline is a means for reporting crimes against children including:
  • Possession, manufacture, and distribution of child pornography
  • Online enticement of children for sexual acts
  • Child prostitution
  • Sex Tourism Involving Children
  • Extrafamilial Child Sexual Molestation
  • Unsolicited Obscene Material Sent to a Child
  • Misleading Domain Names
  • Misleading Words or Digital Images on the Internet
Part of the campaign to help keep your teens and kids safe virtually is THINK! Before You Post.
