Analysis: Child sexual abuse<br />
material by age<br />
Babies and toddlers (0-2 years old)<br />
All the imagery we deal with on a daily basis is difficult to watch, but images and videos featuring<br />
babies and toddlers are among the most shocking. It’s not unusual for us to see very young boys and<br />
girls – sometimes even newborns – being raped and subjected to horrendous sexual sadism at the<br />
hands of adults.<br />
As in previous years, we have seen a higher proportion of category A images – the most severe –<br />
relating to babies and toddlers.<br />
