The official campaign to find Madeleine McCann has reacted to worrying news about online child safety, issuing a warning to parents of “young children”.
The Official Find Madeleine Campaign page on Facebook, of which Kate and Gerry McCann are directors, shared the post last week.
As well as issuing the warning, they also pointed their supporters to a news report containing further information, urging followers to “be careful”.
Madeleine McCann news: Facebook warning issued over online safety
The Find Madeleine Campaign shared a link to NBC News’ article about social network Pinterest.
It was claimed by the news network that “grown men on Pinterest” had been able to “openly create sex-themed image boards filled with pictures of little girls”.
As a result, Pinterest said that it has “dramatically” increased the number of human moderators on the site.
However, senators in the States are now demanding action, with a statement reading: “It should not have taken national media coverage of such graphic misuse targeting young children to prompt action.”
