Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced plans to restrict social media use by age starting on January 1, 2027, citing concerns such as problems sleeping, increasing anxiety, and social media platforms' addictive designs.

Nearly 90 percent of suicide attempts among high school students are attributable to ACEs, as are 80 percent of adult suicides, translating to 109 suicides per day.

The victim shared numerous incidents of 'indecent touching' and accounts of rape by 'penile penetration' by Turcios Torres, the DA's said.

People talk about Jeffrey Epstein as though he's special or as though he's mysterious in some way. That takes away from the truth of it, which is that there are lots of people like him.

Words such as 'relationship,' 'affair,' 'involvement,' or 'seeing each other' imply mutuality and consent. In the context of child sexual abuse, these implications are false. A child cannot legally or developmentally consent to sexual activity with an adult. Describing abuse using relational language risks distorting the inherent power imbalance and shifting perceived responsibility away from the adult perpetrator.

In what was described as a Dickensian story of abuse, the woman was regularly beaten and hit with a broom handle, and her teeth knocked out. Washing-up liquid was squirted down her throat, bleach splashed on her face, and she had her head repeatedly shaved against her will.

I did it. I did everything. I put the paper towel in the baby's mouth because she was crying.

The intense grief of losing James and learning in the court of the verbal, psychological and physical abuse is utterly unimaginable. The lack of humanity shown after his brutal final fatal attack is imprinted on my mind and will haunt me for the remainder of my days. I am grateful to all concerned who heard James's voice in the dark and believed him. The pain of intense loss may fade after time, but the sadness will always be there.

Eleanor Lyons, the independent anti-slavery commissioner, warned that sexual exploitation of women and girls is on a clear and sustained rise in the UK, with pimps using the internet to reach new victims and advertise them online with subscription platforms then acting as a gateway to abuse.

The Molly Rose Foundation (MRF) said online networks linked to a global ecosystem labelled the Com were carrying out extreme exploitation, cyberbullying, violence and abuse and called for a coordinated global response from governments, regulators, law enforcement and tech companies. The warning follows the publication of a report by the online risk consultancy Resolver in partnership with the MRF, which was founded by the family of Molly Russell, a British teenager who killed herself in 2017 after viewing harmful content online.

There are hundreds of open investigations into content shared on X, a senior Irish police officer has said, amid concerns over potential child sexual abuse material (CSAM) generated on the platform using the artificial intelligence tool Grok. Irish politicians convened on Wednesday for an Oireachtas Media Committee hearing with Irish police and other experts which largely dealt with growing concerns over the proliferation of CSAM and other AI-generated sexualised material on the social network.

The mother of a 15-year-old boy stabbed to death on a south London street has accused social services of failing to help get her son away from drug dealers who had groomed him. Speaking to BBC Panorama, Daejaun Campbell's mother, Jodian Taylor, says despite her pleas for help, Greenwich Council refused to accept that Daejaun met the threshold for social services help until it was too late, and then failed to provide the support the family needed.

A man who threatened to rape a teenage girl and encouraged her to self-harm has been jailed.
