Opal Singleton, Host of Exploited: Crimes and Technologies is going to talk about several intriguing
scenarios that are in the news.
The BBC just released information gathered by the IWF
(Internet Watch Foundation) that discovered more than 2000 remotely filmed child abuse images of three to six year old children online. Many of these images were self-generated where a child is persuaded, coerced, or tricked by a predator into carrying out acts via webcam or handheld device.
The research further reveals that a third of parents whose
five to seven-year-olds browse social media are allowed to do so alone. The watchdog group “Ofcom” revealed that almost one quarter of children aged five to seven have a smartphone of their own.
