Report Cyberabuse

WiredSafety.org has a help tipline called Cyber911. It is not intended to replace law enforcement emergency
911, 999 and other numbers worldwide. It is to help people know where to get help when they are being victimized online, and to provide help when help is needed. They work closely with law enforcement around the world, and require that when offline threats are involved that local law enforcement be notified before we can offer assistance to the victim or their local law enforcement.

Important note about cyberabuse that involves any offline risk
You must contact law enforcement in your area prior to our accepting any case for any cyberabuse that involves any offline risk. This includes death threats, child abductions, and Internet predators where they have information as to where a victim can be reached offline. Note that in such cases we will assist law enforcement at their request. Also note that, the Internet not always reliable and e-mails and reports sent may not have been received. If you do not receive an auto reply to your report, note the report has not been received due to circumstances beyond our control. Contact local law enforcement in this case or resubmit the report.

What to report
They accept reports about cyberabuses (crimes that take place online) such as cyberstalking, identity theft and child exploitation.

How to report
Select the cyberabuse you wish to report from the drop down menu below. If the cyberabuse you wish to report is not listed, please select "Other" and you will be taken to a page that will help you to identify the best place to make your report.

The Cyber911 Help form is NOT to be used to report anything other than cyberabuses.
