We operate programs to protect and enable children online.

Little kids on computers…

…(and even bigger ones) shouldn’t need to deal with more than exploring and imagining all the different ways they can use the amazing technology around them.

Our children should never have to fear that malicious individuals are invading their screens to exploit their lives for money, amusement, (or worse).

What we do…

The Halten Network is operating and growing multiple programs supporting and protecting children. In addition to providing funding and support to our flagship partner initiative, Artemis, and our newest program in development Athena, we are connecting data resources, identifying new partnerships and research pathways, and seeking opportunities to deliver on the promise of making the internet safer for everyone, especially kids.

The Artemis Initiative supports an independent network of investigative experts in collecting information related to online child abuse. With over 200 years of collective expertise in global digital analysis and security, this Initiative connects State- and Nation-level Departments of Justice and Law Enforcement communities with details that strengthen their prosecutions of crimes against children. Support the Artemis Initiative →

The in-development Athena Initiative will support our partners’ creation and social-media dissemination of knowledge and resources for kids: To arm them with the awareness and resources to shut down unwanted contact before becoming victims; and take the fear and shame out of speaking up about contact with online creeps.

For our work, No Victim we support will ever receive a bill. No Law Enforcement organization we aid will ever receive a bill. We are a volunteer network of people who have dedicated their lives to public service and national security.
