@Twitter: Let’s stop child porn!

Dear Twitter friends! Thanks for following. Let’s stop child porn! Together! I follow you back, check out my site! Please, tell me what you think!

Aim: Networking resisting child porn, pedophilia (paedophilia) etc. …

…Schoolchildren and teachers changed places in Germany (Münster), too: the pupils were presenting the potential of innovations such as ‘blogs’ (Internet diary, f. ex. the german Blog of Magnus Becker against sexual harassment und violence), ‘chats’ (live conversations) and others that are the most popular among children and youth, explaining how to use them safely. The teachers and the parents were listening.  Listening about pages like "Screenpeace":

There are many people working hard to ensure that the internet safety messages are heard. It seems clear that children are the key. Confident with blogging, IM, chat and all things internet based, they embrace the new technologies seeing them as an exciting way to communicate and aren’t afraid to have a go at it. Children in our schools frequently know more about modern communication technologies than those who teach them and this is particularly true in primary schools.

We have a duty to educate not only children about the internet but also their parents and carers. Research has shown us that children can easily be lured into a false sense of security and too many feel that it can never happen to them…

In Germany we need to make better use of the resources and expertise that we have. Someone needs to take responsibility to ensure that everyone in every school understands the dangers (pedophiles/paedophiles, child porn, etc. …) and how to protect children from them. Internet Literacy should be a part of the curriculum.

In the past, every child was made aware of “stranger danger” and what to do, indeed, parents expected their children to learn about this in school. Internet Safety must be the stranger danger of the 21st century and we must realise this quickly. We need to have a cohesive strategy that everyone can understand, different departments with their own initiatives don’t work and too many people are not getting the message. Government understand the issues and now need to join up their thinking to deliver this important message to everyone.
