SUMMARY:Tackling Online Child Sexual Abuse Material: From Discovery to Prosecution
DESCRIPTION:The full webinar discussion can be viewed here. \nOn Wednesday\, May 20\, Stephen Balkam\, CEO of FOSI\, hosted a panel discussion on child sexual abuse material (CSAM) online. A group of experts explained the roles they play in the vital work of eradicating CSAM from the Internet and obtaining justice for the victims. The aim of the discussion was to go behind the numbers and understand how a collaborative effort is needed to fight CSAM online. \nThe conversation featured detailed examples from industry\, government\, law enforcement\, and NGOs\, and highlighted how coordination and cooperation between these different actors is crucial to making the internet safer for all children.  \nMarisa Morin\, Policy Advisor for Senator Ron Wyden\, outlined the provisions of the Invest in Child Safety Act (S.3629)\, which would provide significant funding for additional personnel\, technology\, and coordinated operations throughout the United States to combat the spread of CSAM and prosecute those responsible. \nRemy Malan from Roblox\, discussed the technology and human reviews that his company employs to detect CSAM and other problematic content. He talked about their work to empower users with reporting tools and the steps they proactively take to stop the material from being uploaded. \nFred Langford from the Internet Watch Foundation in the UK detailed the ways in which IWF processes imagery and works with national and international law enforcement to investigate websites displaying CSAM with the goal of removing the content at its source. \nJohn Shehan from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC)\, expanded on how they work with industry\, while also processing millions of reports a year and sending details to law enforcement that help prioritize the most urgent cases where there is imminent risk to a child. \nMatt Wright\, the Chief of the Child Exploitation Investigations Unit at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement\, explained how his unit investigates reports through a variety of methods including undercover work\, while also noting the essential partnerships with NCMEC\, the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force Program (ICAC) throughout the U.S.\, and foreign law enforcement and governments.  \nSteve Grocki\, from the U.S. Department of Justice\, discussed how his unit is strategic in responding to cases given the vast scale\, complexity\, and dangerousness of these crimes\, and relies on close collaboration with all the other stakeholders mentioned above to combat such a global problem. \nThe audience Q&A explored how new technological advancements could help fight the spread of CSAM\, how reports are tracked throughout the process\, and how additional funding could be used to improve prosecutions.

SUMMARY:Covid-19 and the Return of the Free Range Kid
DESCRIPTION:The full webinar discussion can be viewed here. \nThe global pandemic has upended the rhythm of life for most families. Parents are either doing their best to homeschool their kids while working from home\, or heading out to do essential jobs. Kids are missing the structure and routine of school\, extracurricular activities\, sports – and now even summer camp is endangered.  \nMuch attention is being given to the psychological toll this is taking on adults and children alike\, but there is another lesson emerging in this time of lockdown. While parents are busy working to find solutions for the new challenges they’re facing\, kids are being given greater freedom to structure their days. They are figuring out their own ways to be creative\, both online and outdoors\, in ways we haven’t seen in years. Some would say that they are flourishing.  \nOn Wednesday\, May 27\, Stephen Balkam\, Founder & CEO of FOSI\, moderated a discussion with two remarkable experts in their fields to help us explore the new (and old) ways that kids are adapting to new normals within this national crisis: \nPeter Gray is an author and research professor of psychology at Boston College who has conducted and published research in neuroendocrinology\, developmental psychology\, anthropology\, and education. He is a founding board member of Let Grow\, and president of the nonprofit Alliance for Self-Directed Education (ASDE)\, which is aimed at creating a world in which children’s natural ways of learning are facilitated rather than suppressed. \nLenore Skenazy is co-founder and president of Let Grow\, a nonprofit promoting independence as a critical part of childhood\, and the author of Free Range Kids: How to Raise Safe\, Self-Reliant Children (Without Going Nuts with Worry). At Let Grow\, Lenore oversees school programs\, an online community\, and legislative efforts all promoting the idea that when adults step back\, kids step up\, growing resourceful\, resilient — and ready for the world.
