Girls trapped in stormdrain use Facebook for help instead of emergency services.

Why do a 10 and 12 year old have facebook? Bad parenting tbh.

Oh... And also the parents failed to realise their daughters were missing.... but thats not the point!

Not even bad parenting, its nearly impossible to keep children off FB without taking away all internet privileges or monitoring them at all times. This is by no means an easy task for a parent who work 9-5, clean and cooks.

I personally dont believe 10-12yr olds should really have general internet access anyway.

I wonder how long it will be before the 'Emergency Services' will have a Facebook group?

Really?

Really. I work with mostly 10 - 14yr olds and honestly dont believe that any child under about 13 or 14 is mature enough to be allowed unmonitored internet access.

Speaking with some of the children, its horrifying some of the stuff they come out with including the types of videos they've seen on the internet, stuff theyve read, the fake facebook accounts theyve all setup claiming to be 18yr old girls or the messages theyve recieved from adults.

Never. Think of the consequences haha

Wow, fair enough. Seems like a strange opinion to me. What age were you when you started using the internet? I was 11.
My sister's been using it since she was around 8, my brother since 10 or so, and my youngest brother is now 5 and can comfortably use it on his own (though he doesn't yet type web-addresses, it won't be long!)
