Hello all
I just wanted to share this with you. Maybe it's something that happens a lot in the crazy cyber world nowadays, something that before 'this' world, I could have/would have rolled my eyes at. However it's worried me.....not underage thank goodness but adult. My 82 year old Mum has been browsing through a well known very cheap Chinese retail site. She doesn't purchase or sign up to things, just has a nose. As she's browsing she gets indecent images. Started off 'tame' and then explicit. Shocking. Safe to say she is put off from ever doing this again. Me too quite honestly.
As I say, not underage but who knows what that could have led to.
I hate the internet!
It was quite comforting to hear her say 'no wonder people end up in trouble'. Clearly referring to my ex who did not search but clicked and clicked away, ending up with files.
