🚨 1. If there is immediate danger
Call:
- 112 (emergency services in Spain)
- 091 Policía Nacional
- 062 Guardia Civil
📞 2. Report online exploitation safely (Spain)
- INCIBE (Instituto Nacional de Ciberseguridad) – 017 helpline
- Free and confidential
- Specialised in online grooming, sextortion, and suspicious activity
- They guide you step-by-step on reporting safely
👮 3. Police cybercrime units
Report directly to:
- Policía Nacional cybercrime unit
- Guardia Civil (EMUME for child protection cases)
They can:
- Trace digital activity legally
- Coordinate internationally (Europol/Interpol)
- Preserve and analyse evidence properly
🧠 4. What NOT to do
It’s very important:
- ❌ Do not confront suspects
- ❌ Do not try to “investigate” or gather evidence yourself
- ❌ Do not share accusations publicly online
- ❌ Do not engage with suspected individuals
👉 This can:
- put children at greater risk
- destroy legal evidence
- create legal issues for you
- alert offenders before police can act
📱 5. What you can safely collect
If you have genuine concerns, you can pass on:
- usernames or profiles
- screenshots (without engaging further)
- links or platform details
- dates/times of contact
- descriptions of behaviour
Then stop contact and report immediately.
🧭 6. How these cases are actually handled
In Spain and across Europe:
- Cyber units investigate digitally
- Platforms are legally compelled to provide data
- Cases are built through forensic evidence
- International task forces are often involved
👉 Real investigations are technical, legal, and coordinated—not public exposure campaigns.
🧠 Key truth
The safest and most effective way to “expose” anything like this is not personal action—it’s:
reporting through official channels so trained investigators can act.
