There's been a significant increase in the number of people in Kent contacting a helpline and website to try and stop themselves viewing indecent images of children online.
541 people got in touch with Stop It Now! in 2016 - that went up to almost 800 last year.
Now, the Lucy Faithfull Foundation - who set it up - have joined forces with police in the county to tackle the issue of inappropriate pictures of young people appearing on the internet.
