What is IICACC?
The Idaho Internet Crimes Against Children Coalition is a community-based 501(c)(3) charitable, non-profit organization in the greater Treasure Valley exclusively dedicated to Statewide community awareness, education, and prevention of Internet victimization of children by child predators. It is committed to maintaining and sharing the most recent data concerning the activities of such predators and promoting strategies to best detect and protect Idaho’s children against such criminal activity. Further, the Coalition also stands ready to provide assistance with needed resources for local law enforcement agencies with their investigative efforts to identify, arrest and successfully prosecute all Internet child predators.
Although similarly titled, the Coalition is not a law enforcement agency and is not affiliated with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC) which is a law enforcement agency under the direction of the Idaho Attorney General’s Office.
The IICACC Mission
“To Promote Awareness, Education and Prevention of Crimes Against Children on the Internet”
Internet crimes are often thought of as victimless. Nothing could be further from the truth. Children and teenagers can and do become victims of internet crimes.
PREDATORS CONTACT TEENAGERS AND CHILDREN OVER THE INTERNET AND MAY VICTIMIZE THEM BY:
- Enticing them through online contact for the purpose of engaging them in sexual acts.
- Using the Internet for the production, manufacture, and distribution of child pornography.
- Using the Internet to expose youth to child pornography and encourage them to exchange pornography.
