Protect your children’s identity online!
Criminals are now using AI tools to generate fake, explicit content of Indian children without ever physically abusing them. These synthetic images look real—but they’re digitally created using innocent school photos, family pictures, or videos shared online. This is the latest weapon in child exploitation—and most parents don’t even know it exists.
In a horrifying 2024 case from Gurgaon, a Telegram group was found circulating morphed photos of girls aged 9–12. The faces were pulled from school WhatsApp groups and class project videos. AI tools like DeepNude and open-source face-swap platforms were used to generate sexualised content in minutes. The victims’ families were unaware until the images reached their social circles.
In Hyderabad, a 13-year-old girl’s image from a school function was edited into a fake nude and sent to her classmates via an anonymous Instagram account. It sparked humiliation, trauma, and a police complaint. The image wasn’t real—but the consequences were.
This content is called AI-generated CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material). It is created using deep learning models trained to generate hyper-realistic visuals. These fake materials are now being sold, shared, or used to blackmail parents. In one case, a Pune mother received extortion threats over AI-generated images of her teenage daughter. She was asked to pay ₹1 lakh to prevent their circulation—even though the image was synthetic.
These crimes bypass current Indian laws. Since no real sexual act took place, existing POCSO sections don’t fully apply. Offenders claim “no real harm,” yet they’re destroying lives and reputations. Our laws must be updated to criminalise digitally created synthetic abuse content with the same severity.
What makes this even more dangerous is how easy it is to access these tools. Some are available for free online. Others are shared in dark web forums and private Discord servers. It doesn’t take technical expertise—just access and intent.
Parents must act now:
- Set all child-related profiles toprivate.
- Avoid posting school names, class photos, or performance videos online.
- Educate children to report any suspicious message, image, or profile—without fear.
- Regularly monitor digital spaces children interact with.
- Report fake content, even if synthetic, ongov.in or your local cyber cell.
This is not a theoretical risk. This is happening now, inside homes, schools, and social apps we use daily. AI is being weaponised against children—and silence is not an option.
