Facebook is being pressed by the UK officials to adopt a “panic button” after a teenager was killed by a man she was communicating with on the social networking website.
Along with other social networks Facebook is being lobbied by the British child protection agencies so that they adopt a one-click button which can allow children to get immediate police help if they suspect they're at risk.
Following the kidnap, rape and murder of 17-year-old Ashleigh Hall, the pressure on Facebook intensified. The killer known as Peter Chapman was using a fake Facebook profile and made friends with the victim on the Internet.
