Internet porn 'increasing child abuse'

Demand for child pornography on the internet has led to an increase in sex abuse cases, it was claimed..."The scale of the problem has changed beyond recognition in just over a decade," said NCH's internet consultant John Carr. "The increased demand has made child pornography into big business and the consequences for children in all parts of the world are horrifying."...There is also a risk that children could be groomed for abuse while accessing chat rooms by mobile phone without parental supervision.
