NetSmartz411

NetSmartz411® is a first-of-its-kind online service provided by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children® to answer questions about Internet safety, computers and the Web.

The public — especially parents and guardians — can search the NetSmartz411 library for answers to their questions and contact NCMEC staff to ask specific questions about online safety and the Internet.

All research and answers provided by NetSmartz411 are written by skilled professionals who work in the Exploited Children Division at NCMEC. These individuals are trained to understand the Internet, areas of emerging technologies, and are well-versed in the online techniques used by people who may try to harm children online.

NetSmartz411 is provided at no cost to the public and made possible by generous donations from CenturyLink™ and CA Technologies®. It is powered by CA's Unicenter® Service Desk.
