The Internet is a dangerous place for
children to be left unmonitored. But the dangers exist far beyond
what most people think. The Internet has given child pornographers
new freedom in trading their wares. Child predators find your
children online and coax enough information out of them to identify
them in real life. You've heard the scary stories... "13
year old girl abducted by man who pretended to be another 13 year
old girl". If you think your child is "not at risk",
think again. The teen years especially are fraught with frustration,
and sometimes the need to vent about parents can give a predator
all they need. Please keep your child out of chat rooms unless
you are watching every word they type, and make sure their online
settings are very secure. Please see our tutorials for more information.
The BlackPhoenix project
is here to help hunt these people online. We work within the law,
and work with law enforcement agencies. If you would like to volunteer
with BlackPhoenix, please email BlackPhoenix
but please, bear in mind that BlackPhoenix volunteers must undergo
an extensive background check. We
get feedback quite often about our results. We celebrate every
conviction quietly. We feel law enforcement agencies are overworked
as is and don't need us pestering them for status of cases. If
you are interested in volunteering, please understand this. If
public recognition is something that drives you, you will probably
not find our organization a good fit.
If you are with a law enforcement
agency and would like classes or assistance in working a cyber
crime case, please ask us for assistance. We provide free training
to our front line defenders. For those of you that work to keep
our society safe, we salute you.
