The NSPCC charity has managed to sign up nearly 30,000 people to their Safety.Net campaign petition, which tells the Government that the internet must be made safer for children as soon as possible. The petition was launched 6 months ago in June 2009, and will be presented today at 10 Downing Street by NSPCC staff and celebrity supporter Levi Roots.
The petition is calling on Prime Minister Gordon Brown to take swift and decisive action to –
- Stop the use of software for private sharing of child abuse images.
- Block children’s mobile phone access to adult content.
- Ensure social networking sites protect children by proactively reviewing & removing offensive/illegal content.
- Pre-install child safety software on all computer and mobile web devices.
- Make therapeutic services available for children who have been abused and had pictures and films of the abuse appear on the internet.
- Provide specialist training for professionals who deal with online offenders.
Due to the umlimited access children now have to the internet, it is now time to put into place measures to help shop people praying on the young via the worldwide web. One recently developed measure is the ImSafer Child Internet Security tool, which alerts parents via an email or text if it detects any signs of bullying or grooming during online activities. This preventory measure is a great way for parents to protect their children without being seen to be checking up on them.
