A child’s right not to be exploited online
The rights of children - in particular the right of protection from paedophiles operating on the internet - will be discussed Tuesday afternoon by MEPs. The world-wide-web has created a new area of anonymity for those preying on children, with child pornography being rampant. It is illegal to exploit children via the internet and several cases have shown the police are capable of tracking down offenders. Tuesday's debate centres on a report by Italian MEP Roberta Angelilli (UEN).
