Prime Minister David Cameron has agreed to meet April Jones's parents after they challenged him to get involved personally in the fight against indecent images of children online.
Paedophile Mark Bridger, 47, abducted and murdered five-year-old April after viewing images of child sexual abuse.
Paul and Coral Jones, of Machynlleth, Powys, said the UK government was not doing enough to police the internet.
Ministers say agreements with internet firms will bring "fundamental change".
Firms such as Google and Microsoft were summoned to a meeting in Whitehall on Tuesday amid calls for them to do more to remove illegal material.
Mr Cameron pledged to put pressure on companies to make removing obscene material and blocking access to indecent images more of a priority.
In an interview with Channel 5, April's parents said more needed to be done and called on Mr Cameron to become an "ambassador" to lead the fight.
Later, answering a question at the G8 summit, Mr Cameron said he had agreed to meet April's parents to discuss the problem of indecent images of children online.
"My heart goes out to them for their horrific loss and I will be very happy to meet with them," he said.
He went on to say that if he had not been at the G8, he would have been at the seminar in London, and he was "personally committed" to the issue.
April was abducted while playing with a friend near her home last October and brutally murdered in a sexually motivated attack.
Her body has never been found.
Bridger's trial was told he searched for child sexual abuse images online and had a "library" of such material on his computer.
April's parents said they were determined to continue the battle against indecent images of children online in memory of their daughter.
Mrs Jones said: "I'd like to get David Cameron involved as well because he could be the ambassador for this fight and we want the whole world to know it's not just the UK we're fighting for, it's everyone.
"I've had messages off people from Australia, Canada and other places that want to do it in their countries as well.
"I'd like to meet David Cameron and put our points through to him and let him know that me and Paul and other children and other people would like his help to fight this campaign.
"He's a dad too and we'd like him to back us and help us promote April's fight and get the law sorted and get it done in his name."
