We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Give more protection to innocent searches of the internet to protect children. More details
Submitted by Claire Digby – Deadline to sign up by: 19 February 2009 – Signatures: 41
As a mother of four, I have, on several occasions, had to step in on my childrens internet searches for homework. These searches have included "Flamenco" and "Pumpkins". These searches have resulted in very inappropriate images and as a result, I believe that there should be a way of protecting anyone who is innocently searching for information to not be afraid of finding anything which may be offensive.
All schools have protection, our computer has protection but this did not help. In short our children are not being given the protection they deserve.
All websites need to be regulated by a central policing source, anything deemed inappropriate should be categorised as we would expect an 18 film to be. If the site slips through, this site should be reported to the "central internet police point".
We can report spam, scammers and phishers, why not do more to protect the innocent ones?
