Met Safe
London's Metropolitan Police has launched its first ever youth website, aimed at 11- to 16-year olds. It's called Safe and it is hopeless. Click the title link if you don't believe me. The development of this pathetic website might have been improved if the fuzz had looked at what children actually search for on the Internet (CLICK). Okay, you can't have porn on a police website, but you could have a friendly face, ideally belonging to a glamorous and sexy policewoman. This graphic of a pseudo-American cop brandishing her truncheon is a tongue-in-cheek suggestion, but with serious intent. Give the thugs ... er ... cherubs a face they can send messages to. And remember that many of them are semi-literate or illiterate. So icons are essential.

Thanks for posting this article. I'm unquestionably frustrated with struggling to search out germane and brilliant commentary on this topic. Everybody now goes to the very far extremes to either drive home their viewpoint that either: everyone else in the planet is wrong, or two that everyone but them does not really understand the situation. Many thanks for your succinct, relevant insight.
Thanks for the positive feedback. You're most welcome. I hope my suggestions help.
