For quite some time, a particular entry on Wikipedia has caused concern for many. Virgin Killer, an album released in the 70s by the Scorpions, has been controversial since it was released decades ago. Why? The cover of the album depicts an image of a nude child.
The United Kingdom based organization, Internet Watch Foundation, is a valuable organization whose mission is to minimize the availability of illegal content online, including child sexual abuse images.
IWF reports the album cover had a “potentially illegal indecent image of a child under 18, but hosted outside the UK” has placed the website address on it's blacklist. They have posted an official statement on their website.

Hello darling Jace.
There is a wonderful review about you over at http://www.doyoudiggit.com/internet-technology/helping-you-keep-kids-safe-online
Hope all is well and that you are looking forward to a great Christmas.
My life is doing really well. I have a new business arm and I am happy, happy, happy beyond belief (because the money is great :) and Paul is now a stay at home dad/husband too)
Ms. Megan,
So nice to hear from you! Thanks so much for letting me know about this article. I am so very glad you are well and things are going great for you--although there was not much doubt about that!
Have a wonderful holiday and keep in touch. Stay safe!

Great information on this site. More resources needs to be put in place to educate in schools on internet safety. Many parents are not computer savvy enough to know how to make sure there child is being safe on the internet.
It's great being child and very very by knowing that everything is good enough, while staying at home is also very nice.
have a wonderful day and take care.
Thank you.
