Cybertip.ca, operated by the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, serves as Canada’s national tipline for reporting the online sexual abuse and exploitation of children.
According to Lindsay Lobb, who works with the centre, reports involving online luring submitted through the tipline have tripled over the past five years.
In 2020, approximately 750 reports were filed. By 2025, that number had surged to more than 3,300.
According to Statistics Canada, police services across the country reported nearly 17,000 incidents of online child sexual exploitation in 2024.
The rate of these incidents has also risen 347 per cent since 2014.
We are seeing children as young as 10 and 11 report to us. On average, we are typically seeing more between 13 and 15 years old, but as accessibility increases, the age of the children is trending downwards,” she said.
