Q&A: Cyber cops for children's chat rooms

Officers will actively monitor chat rooms used by children where they think paedophiles are likely to be.



A logo will come up in the corner of the screen to show that the police are present – the National Crime Squad quite liked the idea of a flashing blue light – and they may even join in the conversation. –Stuart Tendler
