THE latest research has shown that children are putting themselves at risk by revealing their home addresses online.
Nearly one in three children aged as young as seven said they would be happy to give their address to Net 'friends'.
The implications for vulner-able children were "self evident and frightening" according to Barbie Clarke, director of NOP Family, a division of NOP Research Group, who conducted the survey.
One in 20 admitted they had been upset or embarrassed by something they had seen on the Internet.
