Minor Protection Program Assistance Plus (MPPA+)
SCAMMERS ARE DELIBERATELY TARGETING CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS. This is one of the most serious and fastest-growing threats we face today — and SDP treats it as our highest priority. The Minor Protection Program Assistance Plus (MPPA+) is SDP's dedicated program for individuals under 18 who have been targeted by scams, cyber fraud, or exploitation — and for parents and guardians who need help. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT THE MPPA+ PROVIDES — ALL FREE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✅ Full scam recovery services — same as the adult SDP program ✅ Free legal services — no cost to the minor or family ✅ Free counselling referrals ✅ Evidence collection guidance — including from computers and phones ✅ School, library & YMCA workshops — coming soon ✅ Both the minor AND parent or guardian engage together throughout ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ MPPA+ VOLUNTARY SURRENDER PROGRAM ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ If you are under 18 and drawn into a scam — by pressure, manipulation, force, or a situation that got out of hand — please know: YOU ARE NOT IN TROUBLE. THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT. We are not here to judge you. What happened to you is not who you are. Just like gambling can become an addiction — being pulled into something wrong does not make you a bad person. Many young people are pressured, manipulated, or forced into these situations. SDP understands this — and we are here to help you find a safe way out. Our trained lawyers and counsellors will: — Assess your situation confidentially — Apply first-time leniency and compassion — Help you understand the serious long-term consequences of continuing — Support your recovery — including against depression, drug use, or deeper harm — Help you find legal, positive ways to earn money and rebuild your future ⚠️ IMPORTANT: SDP is not law enforcement. We do not process voluntary surrenders, and we cannot surrender anyone to the police on your behalf. If you wish to voluntarily surrender as a minor, this must be done directly through law enforcement with a parent or guardian present. However, SDP does not contact police for coming forward to us. If you are caught in the future participating in sex trafficking, gaming scams, gambling scams, or working with anyone engaged in illegal fraud activity — there will be serious legal consequences that could lead to arrest and criminal charges. Come forward now — while you still can. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PEER REFERRAL — HELP A FRIEND ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Know a friend your age — or someone older — who is caught up in a scam or being pressured?
