'The report also revealed that 11% of Irish people know of a child who has been the victim of online sexual abuse in the form of being groomed or having images or videos of their abuse being shared.'
Two-thirds of adults believe the problem of online child sexual abuse in Ireland is widespread, according to the findings of a new report by the European Commission.
Only 25% of Irish adults said they agreed that children can safely use the internet without being exposed to harmful content. In addition, 78% said tools like parental controls were not sufficient to keep children safe when using the internet. The report noted that online service providers sent over 1.5 million reports last year of child sexual abuse online which stemmed from EU member states.
