We have selected a number of links that hopefully will enlighten you to the dangers of the internet.

Our prime link has to be the one below. The guys who run Perverted Justice will show you just the kind of people who are lurking out there on the net looking for their next target.

Childnet's Chatdanger website, www.chatdanger.com , has undergone an extensive redesign and was re-launched on 14 December 2004. The new site uses true stories to illustrate the potential dangers on interactive services online like chat, IM, online games and e-mail and on mobiles, and provides advice for using these services safely. The aim of the site is very much to inform and empower users of these services, so they can use these services safely

The new site is the result of some extensive research with young people that Childnet International has done with Red Barnet Save the Children Denmark in a project that was supported by the Daphne Programme of the European Commission.

Just when you thought the government was trying to eradicate some of the internet dangers a new and very ugly threat appears and is growing. This new threat is ‘suicide' chat rooms, where people who are considering suicide can chat to other like minded souls. What you will find shocking is the age of some of the victims, who, have been influenced after entering such chat rooms. Some have even gone through with suicide, some even filmed themselves on webcam.

A prominent Lancashire newspaper is campaigning to have all suicide chat rooms and related websites closed. After you have visited the site follow the link and sign the on-line petition.
