What are you thoughts on this?

I'm trying to think what a "panic button" on a website will actually do. I mean, it's a website. on a computer. If you're panicking... turn it off? Log out?

They say it will save children - but surely those children that have been in serious danger (or worse) in the past, have already gone way past the panic button stage, and are comfortable to meet them etc?

Thoughts?

I did see that, but as they're being urged to nearly a month later, the topic is still quite lively

Exactly what I thought, it's not going to happen.

OP needs to put down his Daily Mail.

I'm not a supporter of it. And how dare you accuse me of being a Daily Mail reader!

Agreed. I think i'm being groomed. If only there was a way I could leave this site.
