This study focused on the drivers of online child sexual exploitation and abuse (OCSEA) among Filipino children and youth, with emphasis on community norms. An ethnographic qualitative study was conducted in two communities in MetroManila that are considered "hotspots" for child sexual abuse. One hundred and forty-four (144) males and females from various age groups served as key informants. Political officials, Internet shop managers, professionals and police officers were also interviewed. Non-participant observations and mapping were used to provide context regarding OCSEA in the communities.The results revealed that OCSEA was committed online by heterosexual and same sex attracted men in their 40s-50s. The usual victims were girls aged 13-17 years, although boys were also noted. The victims came from poor families and were out-of-school. The various forms of online activities leading to OCSEA included sexual chatting, showing of child sex photos and live videos as well as sextortion. The online transactions were usually initiated by the peer group and some enablers. In general, online sexual activities were perceived as "normal" among young people, although regarded as "disgusting". Online sex activities had become a source of "easy money" for the child and family. They were perceived as not harmful because of anonymity and the absence of any actual physical contact. People in the community tolerate these online practices and do not report the incidence to authorities. The effects on children and youth were predominantly social and psychological, albeit perceived as economically beneficial. Some preventive and mitigating actions were recommended to curb the incidence of OCSEA in the communities.
本研究聚焦于菲律宾儿童和青少年在线儿童性剥削和虐待（OCSEA）的驱动因素，重点关注社区规范。在马尼拉大都会的两个被认为是儿童性虐待“热点”的社区进行了一项民族志定性研究。来自不同年龄组的 144 名男性和女性作为主要信息来源。政治官员、网吧经理、专业人员和警察也接受了采访。非参与性观察和绘图用于提供社区内 OCSEA 的背景信息。研究结果表明，40 多岁至 50 多岁的异性恋和同性恋男性在网上实施了 OCSEA。通常的受害者是 13-17 岁的女孩，尽管也有男孩。受害者来自贫困家庭，失学。导致 OCSEA 的各种在线活动包括性聊天、展示儿童色情照片和直播视频以及性敲诈。在线交易通常由同龄人发起，还有一些促成者。总的来说，虽然在线性活动被认为是“恶心的”，但在年轻人中被视为“正常”。在线性活动已成为儿童和家庭“轻松赚钱”的来源。由于匿名性和没有实际身体接触，人们认为这些活动没有危害。社区中的人们容忍这些在线行为，并不向当局报告这些事件。这些事件对儿童和青少年的影响主要是社会和心理方面的，尽管被认为在经济上是有益的。为了遏制社区内 OCSEA 的发生，建议采取一些预防和缓解措施。
