'We'd put all the normal safety features in place and had removed apps such as YouTube but didn't for one second think that my son could find himself on adult-entertainment sites within a few seconds.'
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. She told BBC Breakfast children "want their mums and dads to talk to them often, even when they're really young, in an age-appropriate way about the things they might see so they're not confused".
