Eighteen and Under has been inundated with cases of abuse among young people.
A children’s welfare charity has warned abusers are becoming increasingly wise to their attempts to support victims online during the pandemic.
Early on in the lockdown, fears were raised youngsters would be more vulnerable to abusers because they would be spending more time behind closed doors.
Dundee charity Eighteen and Under, which provides confidential support to survivors, has introduced an online service with face-to-face help restricted due to the pandemic.
It also claims the number of youngsters seeking support has spiralled with many “trapped” at home with their abusers.
