More Resources Needed To Fight Online Child Exploitation: Internal Federal Memo

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 04 Jul, 2016 12:35 PM
    OTTAWA — Federal officials are warning that Canadian police lack the resources to keep pace with the burgeoning threat to children from online sexual predators.
     
    An internal briefing note to Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale says digital child pornography poses increasing challenges for criminal justice agencies.
     
    It says the problem is fuelled by the growth of technology allowing online anonymity, new legal hurdles for police and easier travel to places where children can be abused and photographed.
     
    The Canadian Press obtained a copy of the February memo under the Access to Information Act.
     
    The memo outlines the many initiatives to develop solutions and target offenders.
     
    But it bluntly adds that current resources can't keep up with the changing scope of the complex dilemma.
