Comment in the thread concerning the item/case in question.

This thread will remain open for general comments and questions.

If you are aware of other programs that are involved in a similar effort to identify ITEMS and PLACES (not people) associated with crimes against children, post info about those programs in this thread. Please do not post items/places/cases from such, if the program fits the sub we can create dedicated threads for each case.

NOTE: We don't cover threads looking for identification of people (by FBI ECAP or anyone else), only objects and places.

If you happen to see a new item on one of the sites we track and it hasn't shown up here, modmail us. If there is a site we should be tracking and are not, modmail us.

If you have comments or questions on:

• this sub, improvements to make it more effective and the like

• thoughts/ideas/questions on search techniques and image manipulation

• crossposting to other subs - yes, it is encouraged, the more eyes on these objects the better

• general questions about the various programs we link to

• anything on the topic of finding these objects but not tied to a specific case

...feel free to post it here. Discussion amongst users is encouraged.

​

Thanks.
