The internet can be a dangerous place, especially for children. It is alarming the amount of child sexual abuse content that is circulating the internet. So how can parents protect their children online? My guest today, Susie Hargreaves, is sharing how the internet increases the rate at which this content can be shared and how parents and carers can keep their children safe.
