Boys ‘as likely as girls’ to be victims of online sex abuse

Hotline.ie made the comments after it emerged that a six-year-old boy, who has an intellectual disability and is non-verbal, has been taken into care in Co Tipperary after online images — including video — emerged allegedly showing him being abused.
The case was heard before a sitting of the District Court in Tipperary last Thursday, when an order was granted taking him into care.
