A WEBSITE which was set up to raise awareness of sexual deviancy on the Internet has added an on-line forum for teenagers, parents and carers.

The website - www.internetsafetyinteesside.co.uk - was the idea of former Teesside steelworker David Stenson and contains tips on how children can surf and chat safely on the net without falling prey to paedophiles.

Launched at the beginning of the year it is now attracting hits from all over the world including America and Japan.

Mr Stenson, who has won an award for his community based safety work, said that interested parties could register with the site and post questions on-line.
