Papermint is a new online game for children which creates a cute virtual world in which children are encouraged to form "relationships", get pregnant and have a "paper baby". There is no lower age limit and no "date of birth" verification. Children playing in this virtual world are invited to set up a personal avatar and indicate whether or not they enjoy having sex.
Peter Bradley, deputy director of
Kidscape is rightly concerned, and has done well to get several good points across in the Sun:
What on earth are they thinking? This website is irresponsible and of significant concern.
Even if this site were to be aimed at adults I would have concerns. But to think this can be accessed by any child - no matter what their age - is an outrage.
To encourage children to enable their avatar to have sex, become pregnant and then to talk about it to others is totally irresponsible.
This is not based on educational messages. It just encourages young people to have an inappropriate online lifestyle.
Kidscape also has concerns about communication between avatars - is the site moderated? If not, there are serious child protection concerns.

Just great! No doubt this has that government education quango 'ministry for children, families and sex' jumping for joy! Sex education on the net!
I'll bet that Marie Stopes and their 'blood brothers' the abortionists (butchers) from the International Planned Parenthood Federation are funding this abomination.
Get the youngsters into sex, get them pregnant as soon as possible 'cos we know that condoms don't work and then our shareholders will be very happy reaping their dividends at the end of another successful financial year!
As for an article showing concern from all this in the Sun???? Oh please...... An odious case of the pot calling the kettle black!!! The Sun is one of the worst perpetrators of daily pornography in this Country! It's a National disgrace that it finds it's way onto breakfast tables in homes, cafes and factory/office refectories and very often train and tube seats the length and breadth of this Country.
Basically this 'garbage' newspaper (fish wrap) has a good share of responsibility and blame to bear for the way the UK has slumped into a mess of relativism and promiscuous sex culture.
Oh yes - and what is Ed Balls going to do about this Papermint scandal.
Is Peppermint now a new name for truly debased?
