School sends parents link to porn site by accident

Address in warning email

- By Ben Barry

PRIMARY school bosses accidentally included a link to explicit content in an email to parents — which was alerting them to a safeguarding risk.

Hordle Church of England School had intended to highlight that a web address in children’s book series Spy Dog had been taken over by porn.

The books affected have now been pulled from school library shelves.

The link previously directed readers to extra related content, but the web address has since been hijacked by someone posting X-rated material.

The Hampshire school’s email warned parents ~ but also mistakenly included the actual rogue link which led to a porn website when clicked.

Apologies
