I have been reading this article and I am so pleased this issue is now being discussed everywhere I see or visit. Well done and keep discussing this key issue. I own a children’s social networking site called taggitt.com our website has taken a VERY different view of safety and put this before any PROFITS. Unlike taggitt.com there are no other social networking sites with 24 hour monitoring facilities, this is what else we provide:

• there are no other social networking sites that flag and remove abusive or bullying posts before they reach the recipient
• CEOPS have been involved and consulted since day one – no other site has bothered to do this; we see this as a fundamental responsibility for all such sites.
• Other similar sites make millions a year yet cannot/do not invest in any safety measures – Taggitt.com has invested in this as a matter of course from conception to launch
• The security software behind taggitt.com has been designed from scratch as there is nothing out there to do the job at the moment

I’m sure you can see that if other sites had any of these measures in place then a lot of heartache might well have been avoided. We just want as many parents and kids to be aware of this issue and potential solution as possible to encourage kids – if they are going to use the internet anyway – to do it in a safer place, parents PLEASE encourage your children to use a safer site visit taggitt.com
