"Be aware of the online dangers that children face."
The stark warning came as Ian Goy, of Thornton Clevelys, Lancashire, was jailed for 26 weeks for 'inciting an under-age girl to engage in sexual activitity, whilst in a position of trust'. Goy had denied the charge but was found guilty by a jury in less than 3 hours.
The girl's mother continued: "I am so glad that I found the messages – if I didn't who knows what could have happened."
"I want parents to be aware of the online dangers that their children face. If you don't know anything about computers then you should learn, because your children could be at risk of harm from people contacting them online."
Goy, a former teacher, had struck up a friendship with the girl using the instant messaging service MSN Messenger (aka Windows Live Messenger) before encouraging her to send 'provocative' photos of herself in her underwear. The then-15 year old girl sent three photos of herself in 'procative' poses, but when Goy later asked her to pose on a webcam, she refused.
Mr Goy has been disqualified from working with children for life.
