NCMEC CyberTipline

The NCMEC CyberTipline is the United States' central system for reporting suspected online child sexual exploitation. Parents, children, and platforms can submit reports through it; the official portal below explains how to file one and what information helps.

A single national intake point is what makes reporting tractable at scale: platforms, parents and children file into the same channel rather than into as many channels as there are services involved.

The remit is that of one country. What happens to a report once filed is described by the portal cited here rather than restated on this page — those procedures change, and an entry that restated them would age badly.
