There is an urgent need to deal with “increased levels of sexualised behaviour among children exposed to internet pornography” according to the new Chief Executive/Clinical Officer of Children At Risk Ireland (CARI). Emer O’Neill is CARI’s former national head of therapy and will retain a clinical role in the Wexford-based charity which supports children, teenagers and families affected by child sexual abuse, and she says exposure to explicit material has a long-lasting effect on young people.
