A counselling expert and head of the National Organisation of Women (NOW) have both raised alarm over the sexualised behaviour of schoolchildren.

Their concerns follow the circulation of at least two viral videos showing students in school uniforms engaging in sex. The child advocates are warning that social media, peer pressure and gaps in parental guidance are contributing to increasingly risky behaviour among young people.

Sean Clarke, CEO of Supreme Counselling for Personal Development, and Melissa Savoury-Gittens, president of NOW, have both raised alarm over what they see as the growing sexualisation of children and the long-term consequences of their actions being shared online.
