The governments should pay serious attention to the extent that people's actions in uploading or downloading cases of harassment and abuse are available. this research shows that in the laws of the Islamic Republic of Iran there are no appropriate penal laws to prevent all instances of abuse of children in cyberspace. Although in the Child and Adolescent Protection Bill, to some extent It has been discussed this issue and regarding the precise separation of issues and determining the punishment for each act based on the importance of the crime, the legal weakness in protecting the victimization of children in cyber space is evident.
