Do you know what your daughter is up to when she’s on the internet? In a new trend, it has emerged that almost 10% of child porn images on the web have been self-produced, often by lonely teens tricked by strangers they meet online.
In this two-part investigation, 3rd Degree examines the role of the internet in spreading degrading pictures of children throughout the world. This is the story of how police across the globe are trying to fight a new worldwide web of crime and how they are using technology to track down and unmask the predators.
Across three continents, cameras go behind-the-scenes as police join forces to infiltrate an international paedophile ring on the internet. From behind prison walls we hear from a child sex offender who agreed to co-operate with the police after years spent abusing children.
Inside high-tech police centres in London, Washington and Toronto we follow the undercover operatives as they track down the predators and rescue more than 50 children.
With testimonies from victims, leading world psychologists and top police commanders, this documentary looks at the crucial challenges of this new kind of 21st century crime. Is the internet fuelling an explosion in child abuse?
Can young people be empowered so that they can turn the tables on the predators and reclaim the internet as a safe global neighborhood for all?
