Our vision is to help underage Internet users to surf with safety in the magic world of the Internet.

The helpline tries to contribute to the creation of a creative and useful online environment with respect to human rights.

The main issues the Helpline is dealing with are:

Grooming
Child pornography
Cyberbullying
Excessive use of the Internet (Internet addiction)
Internet and anorexia
Internet and suicide

Children’s exposure to harmful content (pornography, racism, hate, violence, etc.)
Problems with online social networks (such as fake profiles)

All issues are addressed with great sensitivity. More specifically, special cases of pedophilia, grooming and child pornography are treated with specific protocols and referral of adults in the judicial authorities and the police. Finally, in cases of suicide and anorexia our experts can provide useful advice and refer to the corresponding structures, whenever this is considered necessary.
