Berks Technology Solutions Takes Ethical Stand in Fighting Child Abuse

June 15, 2010

Berks Technology Solutions based in Reading, PA debuts a new company policy with the goal of fighting Child Abuse, and Images of children under the age of 18.




FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) June 15, 2010 -- Berks Technology Solutions an Information Technology Services firm based in Reading, PA announced an implementation of a new company policy today that they hope others will follow in hopes it will stop the sexual exploitation of children across the nation.

“Just as Doctors, and other medical professionals across the nation are mandated by law to report suspected abuse against children to Children & Youth Services and respective Police Departments, I believe as I.T. Professionals we have that same responsibility when we see images of children under the age of 18, or any form of child abuse on a customer’s computer to report it to those proper authorities. I hope this policy will serve as a model to other I.T. Organizations, and encourage elected officials to enact laws that have the ability to mandate them to follow suit.” says Matt Heckman Owner of Berks Technology Solutions.

The new policy at Berks Technology Solutions is simple, when any member of the staff encounters a computer on a customer site that contains suspected images of children under the age of 18, or other forms of child abuse, they are to shut down the computer to preserve evidence, and notify police right away to pick up the unit in question. Any employee that violates this policy is automatically terminated for seeing a crime and failing to report it.

A Father of 3 children himself, Matt Heckman says “this is a matter of ethics and responsibility that we need more out of our next generation of entrepreneurs, and doing the right thing is the most profitable venture of all.”
