Pedo phone ban

THE latest picture mobile phones have been banned from Bolton council sports centre changing rooms - to stop paedophiles taking photos of children undressing. Town hall bosses fear perverts are using the new generation phones to snap children in swimming pools and changing areas. Images can then be sent to other phones or e-mailed to a computer or laptop and posted on the internet minutes after they are taken. Bolton council is the first in Greater Manchester to ban picture mobiles in all its sport centres and pools. Picture phone users will be asked to hand in their mobiles at reception, and will even be asked to leave if they persist in using the handsets. Manchester Evening News 20/5/03.
