The consumption of pornography is widespread among children, the children's commissioner says.
Children are being exposed to online pornography from as young as nine, according to a study for the children's commissioner for England.
Joanne Schneider's son stumbled across a pornography website, aged eight, after typing swear words he had heard at school into a search engine. "All of a sudden I was having to explain it all, including the fact that what he saw was artificial and far from what real people look like."Of the 18-21-year-olds, 79% had seen pornography involving sexual violence as children.
"It should not be the case that young children are stumbling across violent and misogynistic pornography on social-media sites," Dame Rachel says.
