Description/History:
Images of child rape, abuse and exploitation are an international problem. Every year, the volume of images and the levels of violence and degradation are increasing at a disturbing rate through the medium of the Internet.
The global community recognizes that children are victimized by those who engage in the production, exhibition, distribution, and consumption of child sexual abuse images and exploitation.
To stop this Internet industry of sexual exploitation and harm, a broad national and international coalition of individuals, organizations, law enforcement agencies, and corporations with a shared determination is needed.
Educational campaigns and training for parents, teachers, students, legislators, and law enforcement personnel is not enough.
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) must become an integral part of this coalition and proactively work towards solutions.

Petition:
Whereas the harm from the Internet child sexual abuse industry is broadly known and expanding; and children are the victims of rape, abuse and exploitation by predators for self-gratification and financial gain and
Whereas you the Internet Service Providers are corporate citizens with a moral responsibility to provide a service that does not bring risks into our homes and communities; and whereas technology exists to block illegal child sexual abuse images websites, therefore
==We petition you as a Service Provider to fully cooperate with law enforcement and to develop and implement technology to prevent access to specific illegal websites that are known to contain child rape and abuse images and pedophile newsgroups, as British Telecom has done.
==We petition you as a responsible corporate citizen to apply the same actions as required by professionals, such as teachers or social workers, to report abuse or suspected abuse of children and other criminal activity.
==We petition you as an ISP to develop a specialized child and family safe Internet service.
We, the undersigned, would consider the purchase of Internet services from a provider committed to being a leader in addressing child exploitation, working proactively with law enforcement and government and providing child and family safe Internet services.
