'More support' needed for children of online child sex offenders

WARNING: This report contains references to indecent images of children and suicide. Sky News can reveal that online child sex offenders are getting more free support than their families - who are being left to deal with the fallout of their loved one’s crime. Police arrest 850 people in England and Wales every month for viewing and possessing indecent images of children. More than any other type of offence, suspects are likely to be married with children. Despite the Ministry of justice saying that there is adequate free support for these children, our investigation reveals that no such help exists. And, as Katerina Vittozzi reports, they are being left with serious mental health issues and at greater risk of offending themselves.
