Six moms from across Canada have come together to share the devastating stories of their children’s online sexual victimization in a new campaign from the Canadian Centre for Child Protection (C3P).
“These courageous moms chose to share their heartbreaking stories to help Canadians understand why we desperately need legislation to protect our children from dangerous spaces online, just like we do offline,” said Lianna McDonald, Executive Director of C3P. “This is why we need safety regulations for the platforms kids use every day, as proposed in the Online Harms Bill.”
Shared from the same places their children should have been safe, these stories alert parents to the fact that nowhere is currently safe for a Canadian child - not their school, not their playground, not even their own bedroom - as soon as they’re online.
