Police 'failing web child sex victims' 
 Hundreds of British children are being left to suffer sexual
 abuse because police efforts to tackle internet paedophiles
 are "completely inadequate", according to the former head of
 a special crime squad that pioneered investigations into online
 child sex offences. 

 Terry Jones, formerly detective chief inspector of Greater
 Manchester police's abusive images unit, says police forces ...
 will not track down children forced to pose for abusive images
 posted online because they are not sure where the pictures or
 the victims come from. 

 "The police approach to tackling internet child abuse is
 completely inadequate," adds Mr Jones, who is now a
 consultant on tackling internet child abuse. "Resources are not
 available, due to the structure of the police service and its
 political priorities."
