What is CYBERTIP.CA ? [Canada] Canadian Centre for Child Protection Inc. [accessed 18 August 2020] Cybertip.ca is
Canada's National Tipline for reporting the online sexual
exploitation of children. It is a centralized web portal for receiving and
addressing reports from the public regarding child pornography, luring, child
sex tourism, and children who are exploited through prostitution. European Union – Report Missing Children – Call 116 000 Missing Children [accessed 18 August 2020] The 116 000 is the
European hotline number reserved by the European Commission for missing
children. Through this number, parents
faced with a missing child in their country or in another European country,
will increasingly have access to the life saving
support they need, as the number is connected to the national organisation, specialised in
dealing with these cases. As research shows
the first hours after the disappearance of a child are of vital importance.
Therefore having such "an easy to remember" telephone number at the
disposal of parents across Europe is extremely important for an immediate
action of the responsible local authorities. The number is
currently operational in the following European countries: Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, France,
Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Malta, The Netherlands, Poland, Portugal,
Romania, Slovakia, Spain, United Kingdom |
