An Ingersoll based not for profit charity group hopes to see everyone attend an information session in London

LONDON - An Ingersoll based not for profit charity is hosting an information session that will look at ways to protect your kids from online predators.

Child Pornography Hurts is hosting the event in London and will feature keynote speaker and parent Cliff Ford. Ford is a father of two, from Toronto, and helped police track down a child pornography ring in Ohio after his 12 year old daughter was targeted online.

Founder and Chair of Child Pornography Hurts Charlene Doak Gebauer tells Heart FM parents don't understand how prevalent child pornography is right now and their are rings on several online games that are geared towards kids.

"If you have a child that is 5 or 6 years old, do you want them to see the XXX pornography because that is their first stage in luring as a child predator and your child will not tell you that they have seen this as they are worried they will get in trouble. The crime of child pornography has increased by 40 percent annually since 2012, it is in epidemic proportions, we have been with the Project P of the OPP and they have told us that there are 11 and 12 year olds producing and distributing child pornography."

The organization has consulted with PROJECT P of the Ontario Provincial Police, London City Police, and therapists from London, Toronto, New York, New Hampshire, and Los Angeles to prepare additional content for this session. It's all happening at the Lamplighter Inn in London on Thursday October 1st from 7-10 p.m.
