Warning of book link to explicit site
Birmingham Mail
|October 10, 2025
PARENTS have been issued a warning in the West Midlands after a series of children’s books were found to contain a link to explicit content.
One school in the area warned parents about the Spy Dogs, Spy Pup and Spy Cat book series, and said it had removed them from its library after weblinks had been ‘hijacked’ and no longer directed people to information about the book.
Instead, it leads to X-rated pornographic material with no age restrictions.
