Keir Starmer urged to intervene to ‘stop the tragedies’ of children prepared for autolesions | Politics | News

Children are being prepared online for autolesions and remove their lives by “fluid ideologies” such as those that motivated Southport attacker, warned a charity.

The Molly Rose Foundation has urged Serv Keir Starmer Commit to a decisive action to address online security following the conviction of Rudakuban Axel.

Andy Burrows, Executive Director of the Molly Rose Foundation, said: “Online threats driven by fluid ideologies have been promoted in the Center for Care after Southport’s murders and are driving deeply disturbing new trends, including children prepared by online groups in autoleno and even suicidal acts.”

The “fluid ideologies” are where a clear ideology is not identified in those who commit or coercion others in violent or sadistic acts, said the beneficial organization.

The Southport murderer who murdered three children was referred to preventing three times between 2019 and 2021 due to their interest in terrorist attacks and school shootings, but there was no evidence of a fixed ideology or motivation.

There is a great public concern for online damage driven by fluid ideologies, new Yougov surveys of more than 2,000 adults found.

Almost nine out of 10 (87%) adults are concerned about inline content with extreme violence, while 91% are concerned about online preparation of children who lead to acts of self -harm and suicides.

Burrows said: “Risks driven by fluid ideologies are required now at the forefront of online suicide and the threat of self -harm and urgent action. Given the terrible risks, it begs the belief that ofcom has not been able to introduce any specific measure to address suicide and crimes of self -harm.

“The prime minister must now intervene with hard legislation that stops inherently preventable tragedies and that treats this threat to the urgency it deserves.”

The beneficial organization said that an overwhelming majority of people support a new online security law, and said that the Government and the DECOM regulator are not doing enough.

Ian Russell, Molly Russell’s father, who took the life of 14 years after seeing the online suicide material, recently wrote to the prime minister urging him to commit to a new online security law that focuses on the behavior of technological companies and incorporates a general duty of care on the platforms to protect children.

The government has been contacted to comment.
