Dial 999 someone is watching me ( on my computer)

An article in yesterday’s Daily Telegraph states that Social Networking sites will have to advertise the 999 emergency services number according to new government guidelines. It is hoped that this will encourage children to call the police directly to report abuse.

I bet the police are really pleased about this ... I wonder if they were consulted?
The article also says:
Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary, will publish the 73-page document on Friday, which also warns parents about anorexic websites which encourage teenage girls to compete to lose weight, and sites which promote self-harm and suicide.

Doesn't this make the third none/semi connected document from 'Government' sources on the subject of eSafety in a week ... no wonder parents are getting worried ... a bit of coordination would go a long way!

Watch out for Friday ...

Jacqui Smith is a season ticket holder at Villa Park, so she's fine with me. Does that make me shallow?.....
