This was featured on RTE this week.
Massive increase in numbers of pre-teen children sharing sexually explicit images. The data shows that 53% of the images were shared by 8-12 year olds, with the remainder being 13-17 year olds.
Girls made up 97% of the images shared. Predators use sites like Roblox to groom young children.
