AI is a SCOURGE -It Teaches PEDOS How to Groom VERY Young Children

''Get Them Very Young And They're YOURS For LIFE''


How AI Tools Can Automate Child Grooming and Why We Need to Stop Them


BBC 9 MAY 2024






Young children are now more exposed to being groomed online due to a reliance on tech devices in lockdown, a charity has claimed.


The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) found child-uploaded content was up 374% . It said material uploaded by seven to 10-year-olds had increased threefold.


Barnardo's Cymru warned children had become more trusting online because of home schooling and socialising over the internet. The Welsh government said it was "committed to keeping children and young people safe".

Sharron Wareham, from Barnardo's Cymru, said: "Grooming has been historically presented as some kind of linear process, but what we know from working with lots and lots of children is that it's not actually the case."

She said children being more accessible online means they can suffer abuse with no-one physically in the room and that it is lot easier in an online space because identities can be hidden.

Ms Wareham added that online spaces have "normalised harassment and victim blaming" so when young children see it they "do not expect others to support or help stop things".


Tricked by Predators


Emma Hardy, communications Director at the IWF, said: "We have seen an extremely worrying rise in so-called self-generated material where children have been tricked by predators into abusing themselves over webcams.

"Even more frightening is the increase we have seen in material involving seven to 10-year-olds.

"We are seeing younger and younger children falling prey to these dangerous internet criminals. Children have been spending more time on the internet as a result of the Covid pandemic.

She added that "parents need to be aware that predators are working in this way" so they can have appropriate discussions with their children so they know they can speak out.

In some cases, children are groomed, deceived or extorted into producing and sharing a sexual image or video of themselves.


Sometimes URLs contain thousands of images and videos of category A material, which is the most serious content.
