"Irish Detective Sergeant Michael Moran, who is one of the world's leading experts in the fight against child exploitation, has warned parents to be extra vigilant about their children uploading self-made pornography.

"Everything from posing naked to actual sex acts on web cams. We are seeing a lot more self-produced child pornography to the extent that self-taking child abusive material is one of our biggest problems at the moment."

Mr. Moran explains how an increasing number of children are "living" on the internet so that the normal exploration of sexuality as they develop is now being carried out by children online.

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or a recklessness of youth and natural risk taking, these kids are carrying out their rite of passage online and are self-producing what the law would call child pornography.
