A fifth of British children have met up with a stranger they first came across online.
Furthermore, one in four children aged 8 to 12 ignore the age restrictions on social networking websites such as Facebook, Bebo and MySpace. The survey studied 1,030 parents and 1,000 children, and found that a quarter of the parents surveyed secretly log-on to their child's social networking page to check they aren't talking to strangers. 55% of parents said they are more vigilant online now than they were a year ago. Two-thirds of the young people questioned said they posted personal information on their social networking pages, including the name of the school they go to and their mobile phone number. SOURCE
