‘My 17-year-old son was arrested for sharing child abuse images – he said it was a relief’
IN THE NEWS
A mother describes how her autistic son became one of thousands of under-18s caught viewing or sharing indecent images of children.
The Guardian cites Protect Children’s research finding that some people viewing child sexual abuse material (CSAM) said they had become desensitised to adult pornography, leading them to seek out more extreme or violent material. Other alarming trends include the wide-spread availability of self-taken child sexual abuse materials on well-known social media apps.
