85% of online sex offenders become contact sex offenders.
Out of every 100 online sex offenders in Aotearoa New Zealand, 85 will go onto physically approach or abuse a tamariki/child.
The sex offender rate is 4.2 per 100 people, so for every 100 people you know, 4.2 of them statistically could be a sex offender.
Let that sink in!
This isn’t just alarming it’s a call to action for all of us. Our tamariki/children are being targeted, we must act before the damage is done.
