The Internet is a global network of the world (the world wide web / www) that provides electronic connectivity between computers and their communication.
According to data available from the end of 2008. years, Croatia has almost 2 million registered Internet users, representing about 44% of the population.
On-line information and websites, anyone can create, administer them and access them anywhere in the world at any time.
The good side:
The availability of large amounts of diverse information on virtually everything that may be of interest to users.
The downside:
It is very difficult to establish a code of conduct on the Internet and thus ensure the safety and protection of consumers. There is no central international organization that monitors or endorse the content on the internet before it appears there.
The good side:
Most of the content available on the Internet provides users with an interesting, positive and educational information.
The downside:
The freedom offered by the Internet and the lack of an effective means of control leaves the possibility for abuse of the Internet. Abuse, which we consider to have the most serious consequences is the production, offering, acquisition and distribution of child pornography content.
Child pornography and online sexual abuse on the Internet
The concept of child pornography over the RH of the Convention on Cybercrime of the Council of Europe, which was ratified by the parliament, and is in legal force over the Croatian law.
The term "child pornography" shall include pornographic material that visually depicts:
a) a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct
b) a person appearing to be a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct
c) realistic images representing a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
There is a strong international effort, supported by respectable international police organizations such as Interpol and Europol to these severe forms of criminality stop using the term child pornography, and to occurrence of calling spade a spade: the sexual abuse of children via the Internet.
The term child pornography largely bagatelizira these crimes and discredit the victim. The term usually does not cause Pornography negative emotions in people, and is a legitimate human activity, which is rare in the rare cases where a fine. It seems that the adjective "child" specifically describes only one acceptable social phenomenon.
However, one should know that under the Criminal Code for possessing, producing, offering, distributing and acquiring content that sexual abuse is punishable by up to one to ten years in prison, and that speaks volumes about the kind of serious offense works.
What is the extent of sexual abuse of children on the Internet?
It is difficult to assess the full scale of the problem. It is assumed that at this time in the world there are about 100 000 web pages that contain visual content depicting child sexual abuse.
The assumption is that one in five children who use the Internet have received adverse comment or request a sexual nature. It may refer to the requirement that the unknown person send your own photos or video clips depicting child naked or involved in various sexual activities, or the suggestion that the child is found with an adult for sexual intercourse.
It is assumed that between 25 and 35% of children were exposed to sexual content on the Internet.
What situations are most at risk?
Tenders or requests sexual nature children usually receive when you use applications for instant email, popular Instant Messenger, email, or while playing games online.
How to find the perpetrators of the children on the internet?
In everyday language we call such offenders pedophiles, but it is important to know that pedophilia is a medical or psychiatric term, which means sexual perversion, ie. sexual preference for children of the same or opposite sex.
Police and judicial officials use the broader term "perpetrators of sexual offenses against children" because the perpetrators can be people who do not and may never be diagnosed with a disorder called pedophilia.
The girls are five times more often victims than boys. Majority of abusers are men and the children of celebrities. Rarely used force, but persuasion and bribery.
Adult offenders learn about children in different ways. For example, find their personal information in their user profiles in various applications for messaging.
Perpetrators can search for the children they meet on social web sites or sites with on-line games, to add them to your list of friends, to then be able to have access to more children.
After introducing children to publicly available Internet services, the perpetrators encourage children to socialize through teaching communication tools that provide greater privacy: sending SMS messages or phone calls, or using applications for instant e-mail.
How can parents recognize the danger?
Children and young people can participate in online discussions and activities that are sexual in nature and should be seen as a normal part of growing up. Such activities are different from the actions of perpetrators of sexual offenses against children.
In case you suspect that your child is a victim of sexual abuse or find any trace on the computer (images, video, e-mail message), without delay, share your concerns with your child and talk to him about this issue, as they talked and principles.
If, after discussion with the child you are not satisfied with the explanation that you gave and if you have any reason to remain concerned, please ask for further clarification and assistance of relevant experts.

The application can be forwarded to the State Attorney's Office. Their main function is to prosecute offenders, and will most likely be your application submitted to the police, whose experts will conduct criminal investigation to determine the identity of the perpetrator, and notify the State Attorney's Office.
