✴️ Both children and adults receive harassing or abusive email. Sadly, there's no easy way to trace it back to a sender who doesn't want to be found.

✴️ Who sent email?
You can’t trace the origin of harassing emails to an individual or address without law enforcement’s help. Email headers offer limited clues, but most platforms don’t have the level of detail you’d need. Even with an IP address, tracing the sender requires legal help.
