🚨 PUBLIC SAFEGUARDING NOTICE
Enough Abuse Sierra Leone has become aware of social media posts and blog publications regarding an alleged private video involving a minor.
As an organization committed to protecting children from all forms of abuse, we strongly condemn the creation, sharing, reposting, downloading, or commenting on any content involving a child. Every share, repost, screenshot, or blog article further victimizes the child and may constitute a violation of Sierra Leonean law.
We therefore warn all bloggers, social media users, media houses, content creators, and online platforms to immediately cease publishing, discussing, or circulating any material related to this matter. Anyone who continues to do so may be held legally accountable under the relevant child protection and cybercrime laws.
The continued circulation of such content can have devastating consequences, including:
🔹 Severe psychological trauma.
🔹 Cyberbullying and public humiliation.
🔹 Disruption of the child's education and future opportunities.
🔹 Long-term emotional harm, including anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts.
This child deserves protection—not public judgment.
We call upon her family, friends, school, and community to surround her with compassion, support, and understanding during this difficult time.
We also urge the Sierra Leone Police, particularly the Cyber Unit and Family Support Unit, to urgently investigate this matter and take appropriate legal action against those responsible for creating, distributing, or profiting from this content, as well as any blogs or social media accounts that continue to publish or promote it.
Furthermore, we call upon the Ministry of Gender and Children's Affairs, Legal Aid Board, Human Rights Commission of Sierra Leone, Timap for Justice, and all child protection partners to act swiftly to safeguard the child's rights, dignity, and wellbeing.
Our message is simple:
❌ Don't share it.
❌ Don't repost it.
❌ Don't discuss it for clicks or entertainment.
✅ Protect the child.
✅ Report abuse.
✅ Stand against online exploitation.
Every child has the right to safety, dignity, privacy, and a future free from abuse.
