Facebook needs a report option for Child Abusive Material
- Posted to Advocates Unite. by Sallie Ferguson
To: Facebook CEO - Mark Zuckerberg.
February 2013, and Facebook are still no closer to having a report option for content on their site pertaining to CAM "Child Abuse Material" instead we are to report this type of imagery as one of the following (or similar) options...
- Drug use
- Spam or scam
- Graphic violence
- Hate speech or symbol

Facebook needs a report function that is specific to "Child Abuse Material" - (sexual imagery which focuses on children) and which links to a "hotline" such as INHOPE who have a dedicated online report system. If this feature were to be put in place by Facebook, it would ensure that any imagery reported, IS investigated, IS passed to the relevant LEA and the Internet Service Provider hosting the original content IS notified.
Behind every image, there is an exploited, abused and helpless child - Not one should go unnoticed.

There is absolutely NO excuse for the staff at Facebook for not having a clear and firm definition of what constitutes child exploitation and the consequences for the abuser. There are many well established child welfare organizations in this country who would be more than happy to guide this communications medium, through a board of directors, to a sound resolution. I will volunteer to communicate with the Child Welfare League to begin a think tank effort and to report back to other concerned Facebook users.
YES Laura, thank you.

I closed my Facebook account. It is inconvenient for my work, however it is worth it to make a statement against the allowing of pedophiles they know are there.
What's sad is that even after these pages are reported numerous times, Facebook does not care and will not remove them. Obviously they've created a monster with this social networking site they have created and now they have lost control of it.
they also do not remove pedophiles I have reported one a few times and hes still on here
So very important to sign this petition! Your voice can make a difference.
A horrible thing that should never ever happen. I would encourage folks to report it directly to Face Book & the authorities if they should happen to know of such a site. Even if FB had this option of "reporting by clicking", would you really want to rely on that? NOT ME! Take ACTION!
Facebook claim they use photo DNA, we know this is not true. They also claim to have a list of words that should flag up inappropriate groups and pages, we know this is also not true. Recently it took Facebook over 7hrs to take down a video contain sexual abuse of a child, despite them being aware of it is they firstly refused to delete it. I have come also pages of pedophiles that facebook will not delete despite the pages having hundreads of images of very young children. This needs to...

This needs to stop, facebook know this is going on as they where shown proof of it over 2 years ago and yet they do nothing to help with this fight.
We need to do all that there is to report what we see on all sites that is child pornography. It is not right to exploit children like this anywhere, anytime for any reason! Children should have a childhood! And we should be working hard to ensure they are allowed to have one!
