Children as young as eight exchanging sexual images

"Children as young as eight have been involved in the exchange of indecent images via social media, an investigation has found.

Councils and police have recorded incidents involving communications between a 17-year-old and a 12-year-old and a case in which the perpetrator [sic] was aged only 10.

Eight Scottish forces and 23 council education departments provided what details they could of so-called "sexting" cases, the practice of teenagers sharing indecent pictures by social media, mobiles and text."
