Hi everyone



I know a massive part the negative impact on being a friend or family member is the fact of not being able to understand why. I found this new piece of research a helpful read. Sharing in case it helps others

OMFG this is shocking.. thank you for sharing.. every school should be sending this out to children to warn of the dangers, consequences and how they can receive support.. when l was growing up in the 80's there was a reason why pornography was on the top shelf.. you couldn't reach it if you were young.. accessibility to horrendous material is simply too easy in modern society.. sat here just shaking my head...

This is shocking.
I am the family member. I have 3 children of my own. The complexity and ease of accessing CSA is truly horrifying. Especially on social media sites like Telegram. Plus my family member keeps saying 'I didn't go looking for it'. It's clear from this report that a a lot of people don't go looking for it but somehow they Sind themselves there anyhow.



I've found this report alarming and it just strengthens my position that my family member will remain firmly in the past.
