Andy Burrow's from the Molly Rose Foundation joined Sky News to discuss worrying new statistics regarding online child grooming.

There has been an 82% increase in sexual communication with child offences since 2017, with 73% of crimes involving Snapchat and Meta-owned sites.

He said, "This is heavily preventable" and blamed companies' "commercial decisions not to invest in children's safety".
