Minors sent shockwaves on Net

An 11-year-old boy in Wusheng, Sichuan province, reportedly posted nude photographs of his 10-year-old online "friend" after failing to extort 100 QQ coins, a kind of virtual currency, from her. He had taken the photographs while chatting with her on QQ group and micro blog. The incident exposes not only the serious lack of parental supervision, but also the disturbing facts of cyberspace, says an article on gmw.cn. Excerpts:

It is horrifying to know that children take off their clothes while chatting online and then one of them blackmails the other. The absence of the boy's father from home and the ignorance of his under-educated mother about the dangers of the Internet led to this shocking incident. His family has failed to teach him to distinguish right from wrong.
