| CSAM (“see-sam”)refers to any visual content—photos, videos, livestreams, or AI-generated images—that shows a child being sexually abused or exploited. |
| The victims of CSAM are real children. Most are very young kids who deserve safety, dignity, and a future free from the trauma of sexual violence. |
| Once CSAM is created, it can spread across the internet in seconds. For innocent victims, CSAM can be nearly impossible to track and even harder to erase. |
| Artificial intelligence (AI) is fueling a disturbing rise in synthetic CSAM—child sexual abuse material generated by easy-to-use apps and software. |
| Predators count on secrecy and shame to keep their young victims silent. The best protection is ensuring kids know they can talk to you—and that they’ll be believed. |
| If you discover CSAM of yourself or your child, document where you found it and immediately report it to CyberTipline.org. Call 911 to report immediate danger. |
