Pupils posing as paedophiles in cyber-bullying, police warn [via]
Children as young as 10 may be posing as predatory paedophiles on internet networking sites to frighten boys and girls they have fallen out with, police revealed yesterday. Officers have warned parents and children to be vigilant after as many as nine youngsters in Padstow, Cornwall, were targeted through the networking sites Bebo and MSN.
Seems inevitable to me that something like this would happen given the British tabloids obsession with the threat of paedophiles to the nation’s children that kids would pick up on this and use the fear of paedophiles as a way to scare and bully their victims.
