Calls for child protection online

The Prime Minister of Grenada, Tillman Thomas, calls for more action at the regional level to protect children from the potential dangers they face on the internet.



Mr. Thomas said the first area of focus should be to use technology like parental control software on home and school computers. He said legislation and law enforcement are also needed.



Meanwhile, the St Vincent and the Grenadines Telecommunications Minister, Jerrol Thompson said that country’s government is already dealing with the threats posed by supporting a child online protection initiative.



Both men were speaking at International Telecommunications Day on the weekend.
