Script Guide: Good day class. Every 2nd Tuesday of February, the whole country
celebrates Safer Internet Day for Children. And for this year, the Department of
Education via the Learner Rights and Protection Office commemorates the said event
via the anti-OSAEC and CSAEM session. Today, we’ll be discussing topics which
aims to increase your resiliency against online abuse.
Script Guide: Before we proceed, a trigger warning. We shall be discussing sexual
violence topics, and thus if you feel you need to talk to me about something in relation
to the topic, please feel free to approach me after the class, or anytime when you feel
comfortable.
Script Guide: Before we start, let’s unlock 2 key terms.
Note (Read the definitions).
Script Guide: We shall be using these 2 terms during our discussion today. These
are based on the law called R.A. 11930 or the anti OSAEC and CSAEM law.
Script Guide: To start our session, let us watch a short film called “For Your Eyes
Only”. As we watch the film, take note of the key issues presented.
Note: Film will play automatically in the next slide.
Script Guide: Ok, now lets have a discussion.
Note: Read each question and facilitate a plenary discussion.
The safety issues presented include the following:
1. The risks of sharing private images online, even if only towards someone you
are in a romantic relationship with.
2. Justine blackmailing Jasmine via threats of spreading the private images.
3. Justin being victimized by “Mandy” thru sextortion – sexual extortion or
blackmailing with a financial aspect.
The underlying dilemmas that should be identified must include the following;
1. Jasmine sending her private images even if she feels uncomfortable.
2. Justine breaking the agreement between him and Jasmine on keeping these
images only between them.
Note; Read the questions and facilitate a plenary discussion.
Note; Read the questions and facilitate a plenary discussion. The recommendations
should revolve around the following aspects;
1. That their body is their own, and no one has the right to force or manipulate
children to send private images such as nudes.
2. That whatever happens, it’s never the fault of the victim.
3. That it’s never too late to seek for help from trusted adults.
Script Guide: Thank you very much class for your participation in the discussion.
Now, let’s go through the safety tips that we should remember whenever we engage
with anyone online.
Note: read the slides.
Script guide: (After reading the definitions) We have to remember, OSAEC
doesn’t necessarily only involve technology all the time. As what was
mentioned in the definition, this can be a combination of in-person and
technology assisted interactions.
Note: read the slides.
Script guide: (After reading the definitions) The following information is based on
RA11930 or the anti-OSAEC and CSAEM law.
Note: Read the slide text, and facilitate a discussion by recalling the specific scenes
from the film “For Your Eyes Only” as noted in the slide in order to further unpack
each concept.
Note: Read the slide. Further explanations:
On sexualization of children: One example of this are comments that we see in
social media. For example, there is an image of a child posted online via
social media. The child may be fully clothed, however, the comments section
might be filled with comments which talks about the child in a sexual manner.
This is sexualization of children.
On Grooming and Luring – Perpetrators usually do not engage with children in
sexual conversation immediately. Usually they get the trust of the children first,
and then later on proceed with conversations leading towards sexual themes.
This may include convincing children to send in naked images or meet up in
person.
Note: Read the slide. Further explanations:
Livestreaming abuse of children – when children are manipulated or forced to
undress or sexually abused while being broadcasted online. Unfortunately, such
crimes are often committed by the very family members of the victims themselves.
Even just looking at CSAEM contributes to the problem as it is a record of the sexual
abuse of a child.
Note: Read the slide. Also try to explore with the class, what are the possible negative
effects of sharing naked, intimate or sexual images of one’s self. These may include
the following;
1. It might hurt the feelings of our loved ones.
2. It might case distress/stress to us as we continually worry about it.
3. Perpetrators might use our photos and share it to other perpetrators as well.
Note: read the slide.
Script Guide: Now, let’s see what you have learned. Let’s do a simple test. (one can
facilitate this via plenary, or do it individually as a paper test)
Answer: B
Answer: A
Answer: D
Answer: C
Script Guide: It’s not your fault. Crimes like this happen because there are
perpetrators. Even if one makes this unsafe decision, remember you are more than
this situation, it doesn’t define you. The problem can only be addressed if we seek
help. Even if one feels that it might be too late, remember, it is never ever too late to
seek help.
Script Guide: Ok class, after that heavy discussion, let us watch another video which
talks about how to further stay safe online, especially in a school setting.
Script Guide: Now, after we have discussed the various issues, and how to better
protect ourselves from these online risks and harms, let’s look at the various ways
wherein we can report.
Script Guide: The first one is the DepEd LRPO Telesafe contact Center helpline. Just
search for the Facebook page of DepEd LRPO to report cases of abuse against
learners.
Script Guide: Another one is the Council for the Welfare of Children Makabat helpline.
They handle all kinds of cases of violence against children.
Script Guide: And last but not the least is the “Take It Down” website. This
international helpline assists children or those under 18, to send take down requests
for any naked, intimate or sexual image of themselves that may have leaked online.
Just search “take it down” and read up on how to use this free and safe service.
Thank you so much for participating in our anti-OSAEC and CSAEM session. As we
celebrate Safer Internet Day for Children Philippines, remember what we have
discussed today. Again, if you have any concerns whatsoever, you can talk to me.
