Guess Who?
This is a great game when you are waiting in line. It is along the lines
of I Spy, but it involves things that you are familiar with.
Think of something that is in or around your house or town. This can
include people, animals, or places.
Now let each child think of a yes/no question to try to figure out what
you are thinking of. The one to correctly guess
what you were thinking of will get to pick next.

Medics 'under-report child
abuse' report
Many doctors are fearful of reporting suspected abuse. Many doctors and
nurses who see a child they suspect has been physically abused do not
report it to the appropriate authorities, a survey has indicated.
Tackling the threat of child abuse online
Peter Robbins is the Chief executive, of the Internet Watch Foundation,
a UK watchdog set up to combat potentially illegal content online,
involving a partnership between the government, police and the internet
service provider industry that was needed to tackle the distribution of
child abuse images online.
In their first year they handled 615 reports but they have processed
more than 27,000 reports already this year. Over the 10 years they have
traced more than 31,000 websites that appear to contain potentially
illegal child abuse images.
In the vast majority of those instances they have forwarded reports to
international hotline partners and law enforcement agencies so they can
take action to have the images removed as soon as possible.
With it increased broadband speed and greater online storage facilities,
the sharing of higher quality video may in turn lead to different types
of potentially illegal content being swapped.
Despite having nearly eradicated the hosting of online child abuse
images in the UK, this material is still available elsewhere and can be
accessed from the UK. The IWF is seeking the co-operation of
international partners to substantially cut the availability of child
abuse material wherever it is hosted.
