Queensland Police stated that Strike Force Argos officers issued a number of search warrants for other individuals suspected of possessing and distributing child exploitation material.
The Queensland Police stated in a statement that ongoing investigations include the assessment of digital data.
Every day, Argos has undercover agents operating on a variety of online platforms to uncover and apprehend individuals who are attempting to exploit minors in our society.
Detective Inspector Glen Donaldson of Argos stated that despite everything taught to children about online safety, they continue to engage in risky behaviors such as emailing intimate photos of themselves and communicating with strangers online.
According to research conducted by the Commonwealth eSafety Commissioner, one in four youngsters had been solicited by a stranger online. This is quite troubling and emphasizes the need for parents to be aware of their child’s online footprint and to discuss online safety with their child,’ added Det. Donaldson.
On September 7 in Lawton, Queensland, Task Force Argos detectives charged the man with possession of child exploitation material and use of a conveyance service for child abuse material.
Supervision and constant conversation with youngsters about how to stay safe online and the pitfalls of having online “friends” they have never met in person are essential for prevention.
Detective Donaldson urged parents to continue educating their children about internet safety and what to do if they feel uneasy, as well as to engage in dialogues about the topic.
