7:45Now PlayingChildren's commissioner for England, Dame Rachel De Souza, joined Sky News to discuss online safety for children and revealed findings that 50% of children first watch pornography between the ages of 13 and 14.
She went on to say, "25% by 11-years-old and in some cases, children as young as six-years-old" are finding adult content.
She also discussed a Sky News report into how TikTok and Instagram have been accused of targeting teenagers with suicide and self-harm content - at a higher rate than two years ago.
Anyone feeling emotionally distressed or suicidal can call Samaritans for help on 116 123 or email jo@samaritans.org in the UK.
