Pervert targets kids with phone app in Cork

Children in Cork have been targeted by a paedophile sending them explicit requests and messages via a chat and messaging app on their smartphones.

The mother of one of the victims yesterday went public to warn parents of what happened to her 12-year-old son, who was targeted through the video chat and instant messaging application ooVoo.

The woman told Red FM’s Neil Prendeville Show that the man in question was naked and touching himself in a video call with her son’s group of friends last Tuesday.
