Even if you’re not ready to share all of what’s going on for you, you can still talk about your feelings and any struggles you’re having more generally as a way to get support. And, another is to minimize your interactions with youth online and offline – and thinking about how you can put this into practice for yourself if you haven’t already. It’s normal to feel like this isn’t something you can share with other people, or to worry you may be judged, shamed or even punished.

Many youth who look for this content do not realize that it is illegal for them to look at it, even if they are a minor themselves. Where multiple children were seen in the images and videos, we saw that Category C images accounted for nearly half. In these images the children are often displaying their genitals and are with another child who may or may not also be displaying themselves. Some adults form ‘friendships’ with minors online with the intention of eventually meeting to sexually abuse them. The process of developing a relationship with a child with the intention of sexually abusing them is often called ‘grooming’, a series of warning signs in a person’s behaviors that can increase a child’s vulnerability and their risk of being sexually abused.

In another case, federal authorities in August arrested a U.S. soldier stationed in Alaska accused of running innocent pictures of real children he knew through an AI chatbot to make the images sexually explicit. Law enforcement agencies across the U.S. are cracking down on a troubling spread of child sexual abuse imagery created through artificial intelligence technology — from manipulated photos of real children to graphic depictions of computer-generated kids. Justice Department officials say they’re aggressively going after offenders who exploit AI tools, while states are racing to ensure people generating “deepfakes” and other harmful imagery of kids can be prosecuted under their laws. With the recent significant advances in AI, it can be difficult if not impossible for law enforcement officials to distinguish between images of real and fake children.
