What do you think about a Facebook panic button?

Internet safety supporters in England are upset that Facebook has refused to add a panic button to the site. The button would automatically alert the social media site when a child felt threatened. Facebook officials said they have a reporting system in place that would actually work faster than a panic button.

The request came after the rape and murder of 17-yearold Ashleigh Hall. The teenager was lured by Peter Chapman, 33, who pretended to be a teenage boy on Facebook. He was convicted of her death and sentenced to life in prison.
