"Save the Children Sweden has had a Hotline website in place for more than four years, receiving more than 22,000 tips about child pornography on the Web. The importance of such a channel and the importance of international co-operation are spelled out in the following report. Save the Children Sweden believe that public hotlines should be run and managed by the police; in any case, the function itself has been proved invaluable. If the same conclusion is reached in other countries, it is important to see that the national police are aware of this and are supported in any way possible." (Preface)
