Abu Dhabi Police warns against electronic exploitation of children

Abu Dhabi Police warned of the dangers that children are exposed to when using the Internet, advising their parents to follow them and ensure their safe use of the Internet, social networking sites and electronic games.

Captain Yaqoub Yousef Al Hammadi, from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations and Investigations, explained in a virtual lecture entitled “Protecting our children electronically is our responsibility”, as part of the “Family Cohesion and Safety” campaign, implemented by the Department of Social Support Centers in the Community Security Sector, the risks that children are exposed to electronically, either by entering To sites inappropriate for their age or sites of violence or sexual exploitation, and other crimes.

He stressed that cybercrime crosses borders, as the danger to the child is from outside the country, noting that in these cases, the Public Prosecution is addressed with the circumstances of the incident and a search and investigation report, and the necessary permission is issued to seize and examine the devices through the Emirates Center for Electronic Evidence.
