I,m not sure that this is something Microsoft should be indulging in but here it is.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/5279164.stmUsers of Windows Messenger can now report suspected sexual predators of children with a mouse click.
A "report abuse" icon will soon appear on the chat software as a result of work by the UK's Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP).
Users will be encouraged to click the icon when they suffer or witness inappropriate sexual contact.
CEOP said, if necessary, reports would be passed to police forces around the world to track down sexual predators.
Those clicking on the icon will be given advice about how best to capture evidence and take copies of online discussions.
Because the reporting is not anonymous CEOP hopes to filter out any nuisance or malicious reports of abuse.
The tab will be seen on Windows Messenger and its replacement Windows Live Messenger.
CEOP is backed by the government, set up in April 2006 is a member of the Virtual Global Taskforce (VGT)
A direct link to the authorities would be more of a powerful tool, still lets hope some children are made safe by the fact it is available to them, even if it helped one thats good enough for me.
