School’s bizarre ploy to beat internet perverts
‘A primary school has been accused of being alarmist for covering up the faces of pupils on its website – apparently to protect them from paedophiles.
Bizarrely, the images have been altered with the type of smiley faces popular during the Acid House dance craze of the 1980s.
The decision was taken at Cann Hall Primary School in Clacton, Essex. [..]
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.”‘
