Worryingly, nearly a third, said they had not had lessons at school on how to use the net, even though most used it for homework.
This needs to be addressed in schools

3G 'child porn' claims scare operators into action

New regulation on the way, sharpish...
It seems that a recent report by children's charity NCH, which implicated the internet in a huge rise in child porn and pointed the finger at 3G as the next big danger to kids, has spurred the mobile industry into action.
All of the UK's major mobile names, including Vodafone, Orange, Virgin, O2 and T-Mobile, as well as the only company to currently operate a third-generation service in the UK, Hutchison Whampoa's 3, have signed up to the new regulations, which are designed to protect children. Children under 18 will be unable to use third-generation phones with unlimited access, effectively barring them from entering adult-orientated sites, including porn or gambling sites as well as chatrooms. The handsets will come with filters, which to have removed the buyer will have to prove they're 18 or over.
The report's author, who is also NCH's internet advisor, John Carr, told silicon.com that he feared that the nature of mobile internet would make it easier for children to access the web without supervision by parents or teachers, and could lead children to be unwittingly groomed by paedophiles.
The new code of practice will come into force later this year.

Published on Silicon.com:
A report released today by children's charity NCH has put the blame for the dramatic rise in child porn
offences down to the internet.
Since the late 1980s, the number of child porn offenders has risen by 1,500 per cent – from just 35 arrested
in 1988 to 548 in 2001. The report's author, NCH internet consultant John Carr, believes the link between
the rise in paedophile porn crimes and internet usage is more than just a coincidence.
