People under 18 can now use an online tool to help them remove nude images or videos of themselves from the internet after thousands of pictures were posted online in the first three months of the year.
Created by the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) and Childline, the online tool aims to help children who have been groomed, or who have had partners who have posted images of them online.
The tool is a world first, according to the IWF, who will use it to screen images and try to remove them from the internet if they break the law.
People under the age of 18 can now use the report remove tool on the NSPCC's Childline service's website.
