Dutch authorities warn of a surge in sextortion cases, with a 46% increase in complaints of online sexual abuse in 2025 compared to the previous year. These crimes are now targeting children as young as under twelve, with predators making increasingly twisted and extreme demands. Helplines like Offlimits saw a 35% increase in calls, but experts believe this is just the tip of the iceberg. The pandemic has exacerbated the issue, with children spending more time online and access to grooming guides. Blackmailers are becoming more sophisticated, using encrypted apps to evade detection. Parents and schools are urged to stay vigilant and raise awareness about the risks in this digital age.
