Fear grows among Japanese parents and educators as trends suggest an increase in online sexual exploitation targeting children. Perpetrators use coded language and internet 'slang' to facilitate these unlawful activities. Japan's law enforcement agencies are racing to catch up with the trend, seeking solutions to decode and deter these communications to protect children from becoming prey to online predators.

Though Japan has strict laws against child exploitation, there is rising concern over sex crimes targeting minors, especially over the internet. Society highly values child safety and is alarmed by the increasing use of coded language used by criminals to evade detection. The issue has instigated debates around strengthening cyber safety regulations and educational initiatives to protect vulnerable youth.

In the U.S. and EU, efforts to combat child exploitation are well-established, involving both governmental and non-governmental organizations. Legal provisions against child exploitation are severe. Cybersecurity tools are extensively used alongside concerted educational programs teaching safe internet usage to children and families, unlike Japan where these areas are still in development.
