Red Intergeneracional para la Promoción del Uso Seguro de Internet: Una mirada a la situación actual y una propuesta metodológica

la Niña y Adolescentes Instituto Interamericano del Niño; World Visión República Dominicana (2016), 128 pp.

"La presente propuesta metodológica para la promoción del uso seguro del Internet producto de un acuerdo de trabajo entre el Instituto Interamericano del Niño, la Niña y Adolescentes (IIN-OEA) y World Visión República Dominicana aborda, en forma conjunta, los desafíos que, desde la perspectiv ... a de los Derechos de la niñez y adolescencia nos presenta la expansión del Internet y su creciente presencia en la vida cotidiana de las nuevas generaciones. No se trata de diabolizar los avances tecnológicos ni los cambios en las comunicaciones humanas, producto de dichos avances, sino de reconocer las oportunidades y las amenazas que representan el uso masivo de las mismas. El acceso a Internet es para niños, niñas y adolescentes una herramienta de enorme valor para la obtención de información, comunicación y expresión de sus puntos de vista, así como el conocimiento de nuevas y variadas realidades. Para muchos el acceso a Internet, en la fase histórica en que vivimos, tiene un significado similar a lo que fue la incorporación de la lectoescritura a principios del siglo pasado: una herramienta imprescindible de integración, comunicación y acceso a los bienes de la cultura. Desde esta mirada, el no acceso constituye una brecha de exclusión que se entrelaza y potencializa con otras variables asociadas a la producción social de la vulnerabilidad. Por otra parte, no podemos desconocer que las potencialidades del internet coexisten con riesgos y amenazas. Para los niños, niñas y adolescentes navegar en Internet tiene riesgos similares o tal vez superiores a los que supone el transitar cualquier espacio público sin el acompañamiento responsable de un adulto [...] Muchas experiencias dan cuenta de continuidades entre violencias virtuales y físicas. Solo a modo de ejemplo, podemos citar el bullying que es extendido a través del cyberbullying o la utilización de Internet para reclutar posibles víctimas de trata o de explotación sexual. El dualismo del Internet nos enfrenta al desafío de articular acceso e inclusión con protección. Acceso seguro con realización de derechos y es aquí donde es necesario reafirmar algunos principios y conceptos presentes en la Convención de los Derechos del niño. En primer lugar, el principio de corresponsabilidad, los niveles de protección de los niños, niñas y adolescentes requieren una corresponsabilidad entre familia, comunidad y Estado."

Webcam Child Sex Tourism: Becoming Sweetie. A Novel Approach to Stopping the Global Rise of Webcam Child Sex Tourism

Terre des Hommes (2013), 113 pp.

"Four Terre des Hommes Netherlands researchers spent 10 weeks posing as prepubertal Filipino girls on 19 public chat rooms. During that short period, a total of 20,172 predators from 71 countries committed crimes by soliciting the Webcam child sex tourism (WCST) research researchers, whom the predat ... ors believed to be minors, for paid webcam sex performances. But 20,172 crimes in a sample of 19 chat rooms likely reflects only a small fraction of the number of crimes actually taking place every day when we consider the US Federal Bureau of Investigation’s estimates that there are 40,000 online chat rooms on which predators lurk. Moreover, WCST takes place on social networking sites, adult webcam sites and online dating sites, in addition to chat rooms. It is likely that WCST takes place tens of thousands of times each day.

Moreover, WCST takes place on social networking sites, adult webcam sites and online dating sites, in addition to chat rooms. It is likely that WCST takes place tens of thousands of times each day. The finding that WCST is such a common crime on public chat rooms led us to investigate whether law enforcement agencies are not adequately enforcing existing child protection laws because they are unable to identify predators engaging in WCST. We found that identifying predators seeking webcam sexual performances from children can be achieved through the use of a proactive investigation technique. During the 10 weeks spent collecting data, the four Terre des Hommes Netherlands researchers identified 1,000 predators seeking webcam sex performance from children on public chat rooms. They were identified using only information available in public online databases and data provided by predators. No computer hacking or illegal methods were applied. Instead, we just asked predators to provide identifying information under the fictional pretext—a technique known as “social hacking." (Executive summary, page 4-5) more
