Hacking into your bathroom or bedroom using your computer
Do you know that people can turn on your computer and use your website to record what you are doing with or without your clothing on?
Once they turn on and record what you are doing, they can do whatever they want with your video information. The person with the pictures may extort your child for sex or money, maybe both. Your child maybe scared to tell you anything about this.
This illegal activity is called "Sextortion."
Children have
many problems that I never had to deal with when I was young. Predators could
not get at me as easily as they can now. This is why I think you should read
this.
Sextortion is a form of sexual exploitation that employs non-physical
forms of coercion to extort sexual favors from the victim. Sextortion refers to
the broad category of sexual exploitation in which abuse of power is the means
of coercion, as well as to the category of sexual exploitation in which
threatened release of sexual images or information is the means of coercion.
As used to describe an abuse of power,
sextortion is a form of corruption in which
people entrusted with power – such as government officials, judges, educators,
law enforcement personnel, and employers – seek to extort sexual favors in
exchange for something within their authority to grant or withhold. Examples of
such abuses of power include: government officials who request sexual favors to
obtain licenses or permits, teachers who trade good grades for sex with students,
and employers who make providing sexual favors a condition of obtaining a job.
Sextortion also
refers to a form of sexual blackmail in which sexual information or images are
used to extort sexual favors from the victim. Social media and text messages
are often the source of the sexual material and the threatened means of sharing
it with others. An example of this type of sextortion is where people are
extorted with a nude
image of themselves they shared on the Internet through sexting. They
are later coerced into performing sexual acts with the person doing the
extorting or are coerced into performing hardcore pornography.
An early use of
the term appears in print in 1950 in California.
In 2009, the
International Association of Women Judges (IAWJ), in partnership with the
Association of Women Judges in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Philippine Women
Judges Association, and the Tanzania Women Judges Association, and with funding
from the Government of the Netherlands, launched a three-year program on
"Stopping the Abuse of Power through Sexual Exploitation: Naming, Shaming,
and Ending Sextortion." Presentations on sextortion were made to judges
attending the 2010 and
2012 Biennial World Conferences of the IAWJ and to NGOs attending the 2011
and 2012 meetings of the UN Commission on the Status of Women.
