Why should facebook need a panic button for children ? - the T&Cs clearly set a minimum age.
I don't have a problem with the buttons per se, but they should be accompanied with fines for the parents of children caught using such sites - say £250 per incident. I don't have a problem with the buttons per se, but parents need to take more responsibility for the behaviour of their children - I shouldn't have to moderate my bahaviour in an mature space on the off-chance that there are kids lurking on the site waiting to groom unsuspecting adults.
