Special Types of Reports
How do I report a child under the age of 13 on Facebook?
How do I report a child under the age of 13 on Facebook?
Facebook requires everyone to be at least 13 years old before they can create an account (some regions like South Korea, Spain or Quebec
have different age requirements). Creating an account with false info is a violation of our terms. This includes accounts registered on the behalf of someone under 13.
If your underage child created an account on Facebook, you can show them how to delete their account
.
If you'd like to report an account belonging to someone under 13, please fill out this form
. Note that we'll promptly delete the account of any child under the age of 13 that's reported to us through this form.
We ask for and use age-related information from people using our platform for age verification and other purposes, including to help ensure compliance with our Terms of Service
. These initiatives are part of our efforts to promote safety, security and integrity. Learn more
about how we work to keep Meta a safe place for everyone.
Report convicted sex offenders on Facebook
Report convicted sex offenders on Facebook
Convicted sex offenders aren't allowed to use Facebook. If you've seen an account that may belong to a convicted sex offender, please report it to us
.
Make sure you provide one of the following types of information with your report:
A link to a listing in a national
or state sex offender registry
A link to an online news article
A link to a court document
If you aren't able to include this information with your report, we recommend that you ask a local law enforcement representative to contact us
so we can take action on your report. Once we're able to confirm someone's status as a sex offender, we will immediately disable their account.
You can also learn more about what you should do if a relationship on Facebook is making you uncomfortable.
What should I do if I see images on Facebook of a child being physically abused or sexually exploited?
What should I do if I see images on Facebook of a child being physically abused or sexually exploited?

1.
Please contact your local law enforcement immediately
. They may be able to identify and rescue the child.
2.
Report the photo or video
to Facebook. You'll be able to check the status of your report
from the Support Inbox. If you don't have a Facebook account or are blocked from seeing the content you want to report, you can ask a friend
to help you.
3.
Notify the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children using the CyberTipline:
Visit https://report.cybertip.org
or call 1-800-843-5678.
4.
Don't share, download, or comment on the content.
It can be criminal to share, or send messages with, photos and videos of children being sexually abused and exploited. You won't be asked to provide a copy of the content in any report.
More resources
Seeing an image or video of a child who has been abused can be distressing. We understand that people may be affected in different ways when they view these types of images, and we want to be sure that there are resources available for further support. Facebook has worked with a number of safety experts around the world to identify these resources, including social services and tips for reaching out to professionals.
If you, or a child you know, have been the victim of child physical or sexual abuse, or if you've witnessed child physical or sexual abuse and are interested in resources or support services, we encourage you to consider the resources provided by these organizations:
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC)
assists in cases of missing or exploited children throughout the world.
The International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (ICMEC)
provides a list of international operational centers
that work to assist in cases of missing or exploited children.
Child Helpline International
is a global network of hotlines providing support and social services.
ECPAT
is a global network of civil society organizations dedicated to fighting against the sexual exploitation of children.
UNICEF
defends the rights of children across 190 countries.
We also offer resources
if you need to report a missing person or runaway.
