Not to long ago, I had decided to look up "preteen models", because I heard that young girls could become models and I decided to see of it was true. I came across several websites that made me quote angry as a child mtself. I was looking at pics of young girls (7-15 years old, and sometomes younger) wearing nothing but panties, bra's, small shirts, or thongs. I decided to investigate further amd I even came across one maybe two wrbsites that had little girls being molested by adult men. I was to afraid, and still am to tell my parents. There were so many of them, and I couldn't believe it. Some girls even had their own galliries! I want to report ot but I don't
If it is illegal because they were not nude and were not wearing anything see-through. So what should I do. Tell and adult? I if is

Personally.. I'd stay far away from them, FAR, FAR away from them... the authorities have people looking for these places... I'm sure they know about them.. and you don't want your IP associated with visiting that site... as even a free guest.. because that kind of stuff is logged. It might even be what is called a honeypot designed to get ideas on who the sickos are and what their IPs are..
Many of them operate from countries that have a different view of the law than others... and its possible its actually out of the jurisdiction of your countries police.

Anything depicting a sex act involving minors is illegal just about anywhere in the world. But nudity or partial nudity is not, even involving minors.
I would do nothing since there is really nothing you can do. There are governmental agencies that monitor this stuff and where they can put a stop to it, they will. I do agree with smoothy that you should stay away from such sites, because having your IP associated with them can get you in trouble.
I'm sorry you had to be exposed to this seedier side of life. I'm assuming you are a preteen yourself. You might consider taking this as an opportunity to a) show your parents how mature and moral you are and b) open up a frank conversation with them about sex. Tell them what you were looking for and what came up in your search. Tell them you were angered and upset by what you accidentally came across. Tell them you wanted to discuss this side of the world with them. It is possible your parents may find out you looked at these sites, so you want to talk to them and explain before they find out. I think this will help your relationship with them.

Also you need to tell your parents you went to them, if for example, they were under investigation, your IP address, your computer and home, could be tracked back to having watched and looked at them.
I am sure your dad would not like police coming and questioning him and taking all of his computers in to search, and he know nothing about it.
Possible illegal sites should be reported to the FBI

Ok I'll try this, and I'll find the right time to tell my parents.

I agree with FatherChuck - accessing such a site OR downloading anything OR having your email address "picked up" can get you arrested, at least in NY.
I didn't realize it was that easy to access these sites.

A few months ago, I was working on an app for my company. We call sales inquiries opportunities and the app was to help track opportunities. So is used "Opportunity Knocks" as the them for the menu system. I decided to use door knockers as the icons for each menu option.
I made the mistake of searching simply for knockers to find pictures of door knockers. I think you can imagine what Google presented as the top choices.
Yes it is that easy.

I must start getting out more! Thanks, Scott. (and it's a funny story)
