Next year the city park will be forced to close down after the council was sued for by a woman who was allowed to meet a paedophile in it as a child.

Children need to be taught how to not get abused by strangers offline and online. If they aren't, it's not the fault of the place that allowed them to meet. When I was a child I was using the internet to talk to adults and had a great time. (The adults who had to deal with my crappy attitude before I learnt some netiquette probably had a less great time...)

You can still blame the pedophiles while also teaching kids safe internet etiquette so that they don't fall prey to one.

Teaching somebody how to avoid being a victim in addition to punishing offenders is a good take
