Parents concerned about the social networking site Ask.fm

MEDIA: HookNews Tue 05-Feb-13 10:11:27

I'm a freelance journalist working on a piece for a national newspaper off the back of Safer Internet Day. (Today!)

The story is examining the social networking site Ask.fm and, specifically, the kind of sexually-explicit questioning many young people who use the site are being exposed to.

I'd like to talk to parents who've had bad experiences with a child being exposed to this kind of questioning. Ideally, the child would be under 16, or would have been under 16 when the questioning took place.

There would be a fee paid to any case study I use following publication of the piece.

If you're interested in adding your voice to this story, please drop me a line at hooknews **at**** btinternet.com. Further contact info is on my website at www.hook-news.co.uk. You can also message me via Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/hooknews.press.

This is quite an urgent request as I'm hoping to put some copy together tomorrow - your help is much appreciated.

Best,

Robin Eveleigh
