The Daily Telegraph has obviously decided not to wait for Carol and is steaming on ahead with it's own article, Danger lurking in chatrooms.
Tips for parents:
Keep the computer near you.
Talk to your child about what they do online.
Keep a "favourites" folder of agreed sites.
Ask your ISP about safety features.
"No Mum, I'm not on a chatroom, we agreed that I'd only go to 'Yahoo's very boring websites for incredibly dull people'."
Tips for children:
Never give your address or phone numbers to strangers.
Do not meet a stranger alone.
Tell your parents if you are exposed to anything you dislike.
And don't let them palpate your skin with a 3D soundwave either.
