I sidste uge kunne danskerne grine af svømmehaller, der af frygt for pædofile forbød forældre at fotografere deres egne børn. Men også i Storbritannien er man villig til at gå langt i kampen mod billedkiggende børnemishandlere. En skole har således valgt at fjerne alle elevernes ansigter på skolens hjemmeside ved at dække dem med blege, smilende masker.
Headmistress Clare Reece said yesterday: “The public nature of the internet is an issue we feel strongly about.
“Not all parents want their children’s picture on there.
“You can’t say what is going to happen with any of those pictures.”
She said that the photographs were printed unaltered in the school newsletter which was sent to parents.
But on the primary’s website, the children’s faces are obscured.
The school guarantees the content of the site is “child friendly”, adding: “In order to protect our children, we have made the decision not to include any photos of our pupils on this website.”
