Child Safety Reporting

How to report child sexual abuse material or child endangerment, what happens after you report, and where to turn if a child is in immediate danger.

6 Questions
There are two ways, and both reach us at the highest priority. On any poem, comment, image, or profile, open the menu and choose Report, then pick the child-safety reason. Or use the Contact form and select Child/Sexual Abuse Material as the issue type. You don't need to gather evidence — just tell us where the content is, and please don't share or re-post it.

We treat it as urgent. When we become aware of apparent child sexual abuse material (CSAM), we restrict it from view, preserve the necessary records, and report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) CyberTipline, which works with law enforcement in the United States and around the world. The investigation is handled by NCMEC and the authorities, not by GS Poetry.
Call 911 (or your local emergency number) right away — that comes first. You can also report directly to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) CyberTipline at report.cybertip.org. Reaching emergency services and the CyberTipline is the fastest way to protect a child.
No. Reports are confidential — the person you report is never told who reported them. For child sexual abuse material (CSAM), we also don't tip off the account that a report was filed with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) or with law enforcement.
No. Please don't download, save, forward, or investigate the material yourself — just tell us where it is using the in-app Report tool or the Contact form. Our team and the appropriate authorities handle it from there.
Zero tolerance. Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and any content that sexualizes, endangers, or exploits a minor is never allowed on GS Poetry under any circumstance. Accounts involved are removed, and apparent CSAM is reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) CyberTipline and law enforcement. See our Terms and Conditions for the full Child Safety clause.
