Online Child Abuse

Proceeding contribution from Liz Saville Roberts (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 July 2016. It occurred during Debate on Online Child Abuse.

I very much praise the child abuse image database, which is evidently helping to deal with the backlog of forensic work on digital devices. None the less, there were 410 victims of child sexual exploitation in the first months of last year, and those victims need support. This is not just a matter of dealing with the evidence; it is about how we actually support those children afterwards. The figure of 68,000 that the hon. Lady mentioned is a terrifying number of lives to have been affected.
