It’s heartbreaking,
and it happens.

Virtually every day, children are lured away from their families by cyber sexual predators. We’re committed to stopping these crimes through our Innocent Images National Initiative. Based in Maryland, it joins FBI agents and local police in proactive task forces around the country that work online undercover to stop those who prey on our kids.
