Report abusive content and never spread it: Police explain how to react correctly
In their statement, the Essen police also explicitly point out that even the possession of pornographic content is a punishable offence.
“This means that young people aged 14 and over are also committing a criminal offense if they receive unsolicited child pornographic images or films via WhatsApp groups or other chats,” said the police.
It also provides information on how to behave correctly in such a situation.
The Essen police call for child pornographic content to be reported so that the police can intervene and investigate.
In addition, such photos and videos should under no circumstances be commented on or even distributed further.
It is best to leave chat groups that spread such content directly.
Child pornography and suspected sexual abuse can be reported to the police on 0800 0 431 431.
A case of sexual abuse also recently became public in Vienna.
The police are investigating 17 young people who are said to have abused a twelve-year-old girl for months.
