Sir Cliff Richard.

Don’t Talk to Him.

Don’t Talk to Him.

If some guy tells you, I don’t care,
And tells you lies while I’m not there, don’t talk to him,
And if he tells you, I’m untrue, then darling, here what you must do, don’t talk to him
And if he tells you I’ve been seen walking ’round with Sue and Jean, he’s lying again (lying again).
Do anything that you want to, but darling, this I beg of you, don’t talk to him.
If you hear the words he has to say, he’ll break your heart.
Let your love for me prove strong, while we are far apart.
So just remember what I say, and trust in me while I’m away for I’ll be true,
And just remember my true love is brighter than the moon above for only you,
And if this guy should try to say my love for you is only plain, mearly a whim, (mearly a whim),
Just close your eyes and count to ten and think of me again, but don’t you talk to him.

Garda Warns Of Rising Child Grooming Risks On Online Gaming Platforms.

A senior officer with the Garda National Cyber Crime Bureau has warned that children are being groomed and exploited on online gaming platforms, at what he described as an “alarming scale.”

Detective Superintendent Michael Mullen told RTÉ’s Prime Time that Gardaí are now regularly encountering cases of grooming, sexual exploitation and abuse linked to platforms such as Roblox, which is particularly popular among younger children. He said he was “very concerned” about the level of exploitation occurring “on a daily basis.”

Sexual Exploitation and Abuse linked to Childrens Roblox platform, says Senior Detective.

Roblox, which has over 150 million daily users, allows children as young as five years old to set up accounts without age verification or mandatory parental approval. During a Prime Time investigation, test accounts accessed games containing simulated sexual behaviour, dating role-play, racial slurs and suicide references; all prohibited under Roblox’s rules. Gambling-style features and users soliciting the platform’s virtual currency were also identified.

Det Supt Mullen cited cases where Irish children were coerced into buying items for other users and, in some instances, pressured to self-harm. In one case, a nine-year-old seeking virtual currency was targeted by adults demanding explicit acts in return.

Roblox is facing mounting international scrutiny, including legal actions in several US states alleging failures to protect minors. Former Garda and ex-Interpol specialist Mr Mick Moran, now CEO of Hotline.ie, said similar risks exist in Ireland. “Absolutely, children here are being groomed,” he said.

Experts highlighted the ease with which adults and children can interact on the same servers, with Prime Time observing attempts by older users to move minors onto private messaging apps. Researchers, testing Roblox, also reported widespread sexualised behaviour and abusive language.

Roblox says child safety is a “top priority” and that it removed content highlighted by the programme. It will introduce age verification for chat functions in Ireland early next year, though specialists warn that determined predators can still bypass such measures.

Gardaí and online safety advocates emphasised the vital role of parents. They advised parents to set up accounts alongside their children, know the games being played, use parental controls, and reinforce rules around avoiding private chats with strangers.

A Must Watch For Parents.
NOTE: Prime Time’s full investigation airs on this evening, November 27th at 9:35pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.

A Love So Beautiful.

The summer sun looked down on our love long ago,
But in my heart I feel the same old afterglow,
A love so beautiful in every way,
A love so beautiful, we let it slip away.
We were too young to understand to ever know,
That lovers drift apart and that’s the way love goes,
A love so beautiful, a love so sweet.
A love so beautiful, a love for you and me,
And when I think of you, I fall in love again.
A love so beautiful in every way.
A love so beautiful, we let it slip away. (away).
A love so beautiful in every way
A love so beautiful, we let it slip away
