ISPCC: Kids regularly viewing age inappropriate material online

Irish parents are leaving children as young as five have unlimited access to the internet even though other children are admitting to distress because of what they are viewing.

Children are viewing age inappropriate, violent and/or pornagraphic material online regularly, according to a review of its cases by the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty Against Children (ISPCC).

The charity also found that young people are showing a clear lack of empathy online which they don’t display in face to face interactions.
