..Caitlin, I'm so sorry to hear about your sister's experiences ..

...I think Niamh that it's the fact that you are nervous and will take an interest in her online activities that will ensure that she's a lot safer on the internet because she also knows that she can talk to you and Gav about any worries she may have and that's really what it's about because we can't and shouldn't stop online activity of our children I don't think but more take an interest in what they're doing ...I don't have daughters but I have many friends who do and I also have four nieces and none of them have ever had any real issues on the internet in anything they've been part of because any small concerns they have had, they've spoken to their parents and friends about so it's never become a big worry...I think that's the same in all areas of their lives though, just always talking about stuff and being interested in what they do, how things are going etc and I know that you do that so I think she'll be fine...we only hear about the bad stuff, don't we and that just makes us really concerned but it's also those concerns that help keep our children safe...
