YES - CHRIS CLOKE, head of child protection awareness, NSPCC
As young people's use of social networking increases so do the potential risks they face online, such as bullying and sexual grooming. It is important that parents, as well as children, are aware of the risks they face. But the NSPCC's Don't Hide It campaign also shows how these sites can be a positive force. More than one million children were drawn to last year's campaign through social networking sites. This year Don't Hide It will again encourage them to speak out about abuse.
