Dereliction of Duty: Romania Failing to Protect Children from Online Sex Abuse

Romanians are proud to have one of the world’s fastest, most reliable internet networks, but rarely have a good word to say about their creaking justice system.
The combination of these two elements has allowed dark elements of the virtual world to flourish. The sexual abuse of children online is one of them.
This is a topic few will talk about, as BIRN found out in an investigation focused on one of its least conscionable forms: mothers mistreating their own children for paying clients watching from abroad.
The numbers of such cases are small, but were sufficient to surprise even child protection experts contacted for this article. Romanians seem largely unaware that any such abuse is going on at all. Silence nurtures a damaging culture of ignorance, and one of the EU’s poorest countries is failing to protect such children.
Child abuse for profit is of course not only Romania’s problem. Authorities worldwide are struggling to combat it, with criminals often seeming one step ahead. Online encryption – hailed by privacy advocates, feared by governments but now the global norm – is their latest weapon.
But in Romania, even when abuse of minors is discovered, law enforcement is ill equipped to deal with it, legal experts say. Poor funding, slow investigations, unfilled prosecutor posts, and little guidance for judges all mean that punishments can vary wildly and are often lenient by international standards.
Alerted first by a US news report mentioning Romanian abusers, BIRN analysed little-publicised official data about child sexual abuse material (CSAM) – a term which the European police organisation Europol prefers to “pornography” to underline that minors can never be deemed to have consented.
In Romania, BIRN found an increase in the number of children sexually abused by their own parents for financial gain – with many victims left afterwards living under the same roof as their abusers, which child experts saw as the most damaging state failure of all.
From a couple of known cases annually 15 years ago, this grew to an average of around 50 a year in 2022-24, Romanian prosecutors say.
