Goal 04

Children
Protected

A local school initiative to drive national change.

Kids are being sexualized, sextorted, preyed upon, and subjected to peer-to-peer abuse online.

The solutions to protect them already exist. Clapham is bringing them together in local schools to prove impact and drive national change.

Children

“What we have is a false sense of security - we think we are holding a standard, and kids are in great danger and are experiencing significant harm.”

Wes LyonsGeneral Partner

The problem
Kids are being harmed online

A school of 500 kids may face 48 predatory online interactions per day.*

Online harm leads to: Increased anxiety and depression, body image issues, lower self-esteem, high risk of addiction, & more.

Current solutions aren't working

Schools spent $1.2B on cybersecurity, but kids are still being sexualized, sextorted, preyed upon, and peer-to-peer abused.

The cost of inaction

A single incident can cost a school up to $9M in liability.*

In addition to the impacts on survivors and their families, the average lifetime cost to society per child who is exploited is $825,000.

The solution
We can detect predators, train kids and adults, block harm, and pursue predators.

The solutions are already working. Clapham is bringing them together in local schools as one coordinated approach to protecting children online.

These ideas are all working separately.
We're unifying them in local schools to prove impact and drive national change.

Prove what works locally. Measure the impact.
