A quick definition of childnapping:

Childnapping is when someone takes a child without permission from their parents or guardians. This is also called child-kidnapping. It is a very serious crime and can be very scary for the child and their family. If someone takes you or a friend without permission, it is important to tell a trusted adult right away.

The Child Online Protection Act (COPA) is a law that helps protect children from seeing harmful things on the internet. It makes it illegal for people to show sexual pictures or videos that could be harmful to kids. This law only applies to websites and not to emails or chat rooms. The Supreme Court changed some parts of the law in 2002 to make sure it didn't stop people from sharing important information online.

A more thorough explanation:

Childnapping is the act of kidnapping a child. It is a serious crime that involves taking a child away from their parents or legal guardians without their consent. This can cause emotional trauma for both the child and their family.

The Child Online Protection Act (COPA) is a federal law that was passed in 1998 to prevent child pornography on the internet. It prohibits internet speech that is harmful to minors. This law applies to sexually explicit material that appears to depict minors, even if the people are actually over 18 or the images are computer-generated and do not depict living people.

For example, if someone creates or shares an image of a computer-generated child engaged in sexual activity, they could be prosecuted under COPA. This law does not apply to e-mail or chat-room communications.

In 2002, the Supreme Court struck down portions of the Act in Ashcroft v. American Civil Liberties Union, 535 U.S. 564, 122 S.Ct. 1700. However, COPA is still in effect and is used to prosecute individuals who create or distribute child pornography on the internet.
