MP supports NSPCC call for new Bill
BRADFORD MP David Ward is lending his support to an NSPCC campaign to make it a crime for an adult to send a sexual message to a child.
Mr Ward, Liberal Democrat MP for Bradford East (pictured) is backing the charity’s Flaw in the Law campaign, which is calling on the Government to introduce a new offence so that it is always illegal for an adult to intentionally send a sexual message to a person under the age of 18 child.
The campaign seeks to clamp down on the grooming of children through social networks, mobile apps, chat rooms or online games.
