3G could accelerate growth in child porn
January 13, 2004
The next generation of mobile phones would trigger an even bigger rise
in child pornography. A report by children's charity NCH says child porn
crimes is 15 times higher than in 1988 because of the internet and new
internet mobile phones will increase this figure further.
In the past, paedophiles who use the internet can be traced but the use
of mobile phones will make tracking even harder. A majority of mobile
phone users in the UK are prepaid users and do not have to register their
details with the mobile companies.
John Carr, the charity's internet consultant, said the increase in child
sex crimes was mainly due to the use of the internet and added, "The internet
is about to go mobile, and that could make many things more difficult
to prevent or detect".
With fixed internet, such as computers, parents were encouraged to supervise
their children's net activities. Carr said the move to mobile internet
would make parents monitoring their children more difficult.
The report also revealed 549 people were charged or cautioned with child
porn offences in 2002, compared to just 35 in 1988.
Chatrooms is one of the potentials paedophiles use to meet their victims.
Some of the new mobile phones have popular chat programs, such as MSN
Messenger, installed on them, making chatrooms more readily available.
The transfer of images via mobiles will increase because of camera phones
and new video handsets. It would be difficult to spot camera phone misuse
as it would be difficult to tell whether someone is taking a picture or
dialling on their mobile phone.
