Child porn site reports 'up 80%'

Worrying trends reported by the IWF and BBC -

The number of internet child pornography sites reported to police soared by almost 80% last year, according to a new report.

The Internet Watch foundation (IWF) said 6,128 sites investigated after reports to them from the public were illegal - up from 3,438 in 2004.

The 78% rise compared to an increase of 0.003% in the previous 12 months.

The increase was due to public intolerance of child abuse and better tracking of sites, the IWF said.

Make a point to stop by the NSPCC and keep abreast of developments in relation to child protection in the UK.
