This is a truely horrific case to come before an Irish court. But it needs to serve as a wake up call to all. Part of being Irish is the mistakenly held belief that "none of this ould internet stuff impacts my kids. They wouldn't be bothered with any of that craic"This is not an anomaly or an isolated incident. Circumstances described in this article are occuring in Irish homes right now. The figures for child on child sexual abuse are growing here year on year at an alarming rate. Yet we continue with an attitude of cultural denial, thereby collectively failing those need to be protected most, our childrenThe Judge stated there needs to be more done to teach kids in primary schools. This is true, but it won't resolve the issue at hand unless we can stop porn getting in to the hands of children also. This begins in the home with parental controls. But it needs to extend further to the porn giants to ensure only persons over 18 can access their content. Incredibly, the technology already exists to enable this, it simply needs governments to enforce it in each country. Please read and share this article. If nothing else let it motivate you to ensure your home is free from the destructive harm of online pornography. Use parental controls and monitor your children's online activity.Primary schools have to address child access to online porn, says judge in Cork rape casewww.irishexaminer.com/news/courtandcrime/arid-40718406.htmlChildrenofthedigitalage.org ...

The best and bright in this area really need to collaborate more. That's my life lesson after the last three days of not being able to breath due to a possible Covid infection. If it's not Covid, it's genuinely one hell of a horrible infection. The test will reveal all.Not going to say, I'm actually afraid, but I am concerned about how how quickly it has taken such a negative impact and a toll on me. Scary thing here is that I'm fully vaccinated, or so I thought. This is genuinely not a pleasant experience. So get your vaccination. You definitely don't want to feel like this.Childrenofthedigitalage.org #COVID19 #protectothers #staysafe ... See MoreSee Less

Loving the new cover of TIME featuring Facebook founder @zuck There are huge changes required to make the online world a safer place for children. I don't really believe that social media in its current form should have anyone under 16 anywhere near it. The harm being inflicted is too great. Childrenofthedigitalage.org #whatdoyouthink? ...

How does this even happen???A 13-year-old girl had dozens of child sexual abuse videos and images in a computer file and wrote a diary about her interest in rape, torture and the murder of infants and children, a court has heard.Gardaí commenced an investigation into her online activities four years ago with assistance from US and Canadian authorities.The girl, now aged 17, appeared at the Dublin Children's Court for a preliminary hearing to decide her trial venue. She has been charged under the Child Trafficking and Pornography Act.It is alleged she had 78 images and 72 videos that contained visual representations of a child engaged in explicit sexual activities.The material was allegedly in a Dropbox computer account in 2017.She is accused of having had a handwritten diary with drawings and text defined as child pornography.The third charge is possessing the material in late 2016 in a Dropbox account for sharing.What role did online, or offline influence have?Was it nature, nurture, an abused victim, etc, there is alot to learn from this to protect others.www.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/girl-13-accused-of-sharing-child-sex-abuse-images-wrote-diar... ...
