Encryption of online messages could make it harder to police child abuse and grooming online, the children's commissioner for England has warned.

Ms Longfield said the report "shows how vigilant parents need to be, but also how the tech giants are failing to regulate themselves and so are failing to keep children safe".

It's always the same old song: "think of the children". It is not the primary job of everybody to raise someone's children. That's the job of the parents. They need to educate their children, to teach them and to keep an eye on them until they are old enough to deal with problems correctly.
