Report Abuse


If you experience abusive behavior as a result of your participation in a
Web site, it can help others if you report the abuse so that companies -
and, when needed, law enforcement — understand the potential for
online crime and act to improve conditions. If physical abuse occurs,
first help the victim get to safety and reassure them they will get help.
Then take these steps to report the crime and find help:


  1. Report the abuse to your local law enforcement agency
    and the Web site where you first encountered the predator.


2.Contact the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network
(RAINN, at http://www.rainn.org), the nation’s largest anti-
sexual assault organization. (See Figure 8-10.)

3.Consult the Department of Justice Web site
(www.usdoj.gov), which lists organizations in every
state that provide assistance to sexual abuse victims and
their families.
