One in 4 children meets an Internet stranger

One in four children has put themselves in potential danger by secretly meeting strangers they have contacted online, a disturbing Government report shows.

Of those, 69 per cent took a child friend along, risking their safety as well, and 25 per cent went alone. Only six per cent took an adult.

The figure, from an official survey of 6,000 children aged between 11 and 16, is a three-fold increase on a similar study carried out two years ago.

For those of you that are parents, what do you do to protect your child from the dangers of the internet?
