A major new survey has warned that children are at risk of becoming desensitised to online pornography because they are watching so much of it that an entire generation risks being robbed of their childhoods.
The survey, carried out by Middlesex University, was jointly commissioned by the NSPCC and the children’s commissioner for England and showed that around 53% of 11-16 year olds had seen graphic porn content online and 94% of them had viewed adult content by the time they were just 14 years old.
In total 1,001 children aged between 11-16 years old were questioned and the survey found that 65% of 15-16 year olds had viewed porn, as had 28% of 11-12 year olds.
