The parents of murdered April Jones have taken their fight for action on internet child abuse to Downing Street.

Coral and Paul Jones joined the parents of murdered Tia Sharp in urging the Prime Minister take a "zero tolerance approach".

Both April, five, and Tia, 12, were murdered last year by paedophiles who had been scouring the net for child abuse images.

April's dad Paul said: "We don't want there to be a third, fourth and a fifth family in the same situation because we haven't moved and done anything.

"The point we are making is 'Look, this has happened twice now – to Tia and to April. Not again. Never again."

The talks took place on Friday ahead of a summit between ministers, Google, BT and other internet service providers.

Meanwhile, Google has revealed its engineers are working on a system to wipe out child pornography on the internet.

The plans, which could be operational within a year, would see child abuse images cleared from the web.
