A Sky News investigation has found that children, including some under the age of 10, are being recruited into extremist far-right organisations.Our research can reveal there has been a dramatic increase in the number of youngsters being referred to government counter-extremist programmes.It comes as counter-terror police announce a new campaign aimed at preventing radicalisation - especially during lockdown.On this episode of the Sky News Daily Podcast, host Katerina Vittozzi speaks to 'John' - who was manipulated and groomed by far-right forums aged just 14. His mother 'Sarah' tells us how she discovered her son was an extremist.We also speak to former neo-Nazi Nigel Bromage from Exit UK and Patrik Hermansson from Hope not Hate about how we can protect and save children from far-right groups.Daily podcast team:Podcast producer - Annie JoycePodcast producer - Nicola EyersPodcast producer - Emma Rae WoodhouseInterviews producer - Oli FosterArchive - Simon WindsorMusic - Steven Wheeler
