I am being harassed, bullied or threatened online — who do I report it to?
Threats, stalking, revenge porn and organised harassment are crimes online exactly as offline. Save everything first — screenshots with the URL, the date and the account name — because the content will disappear once you report it. Report to the platform to get it removed, and to Valsts policija — iesniegums (110) to get it prosecuted; with the evidence saved, both can happen the same day. Cietušo atbalsta tālrunis — 116 006 / Juridiskās palīdzības administrācija — kompensācija (116 006) supports victims free of charge and helps with the report. For children and teenagers, Bērnu un pusaudžu uzticības tālrunis — 116 111 (116 111) is the specialised line.
