Child sexual abuse streamed live over the internet on services like Skype has been flagged as an emerging threat by experts.
The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (Ceop) - the police division charged with tackling child abuse - reports that it has seen in increase in this type of activity in 2012.
