The National Crime Agency’s head, Graeme Biggar, is sounding the alarm: kids are drowning in online danger, with daily reports of child abuse on social media and gaming sites skyrocketing to 400—four times what it was just seven years ago. Some of the worst offenders? Teenagers sharing disturbing content with friends. With smartphones becoming standard for school, Biggar warns we’ve failed two generations—and the scale is likely even worse than reported. Platforms like Instagram, Roblox, and Discord are hotspots, and end-to-end encryption is making detection harder. Despite arresting 1,000 offenders and helping 1,200 children monthly last year, Biggar insists this is a societal crisis demanding everyone’s action—not just police.
