'Sexual predators are acting out abuse of young children online in the virtual world Second Life - in an area called 'Wonderland'. Sky News reporter Jason Farrell investigates. Viewers may find some of the images in this video disturbing.'
We all know the darker side of Secondlife we know it exists, and most ignore it. Child avatars are one aspect of SL that is hard for many to understand, there is the family side of child avs and many are created for that purpose - but how do we avoid this side of it? How do we keep the Paedophiles out? One way would be to ban child avatars but would that solve the problem? I think not, Policing and recording chat and IM? Well what about voice and private calls? Just as in RL these people will find a way around it. Its up to US, as citizens of Secondlife, to report any activity we think is offensive and illegal, its up to US to keep our new world clean. I urge anyone to report anything they see, there is a report system in place, please use it and help us to rid 'our world' of these disgusting people!
