More than 200,000 young people groomed online - report

A new NSPCC survey shows that more than 200,000 young people may have been groomed on social media.

One in 25 young people have sent, received or been asked to send sexual content to an adult.

According to the survey, the networks associated with the most prolific reports of grooming are Snapchat and Facebook, and the children's charity calls on Boris Johnson to prioritise new legislation to protect children online.
