The NSPCC has urged children to stay away from a teen dating website because it fears sex offenders may be online.
The children's charity has reported mylol.net to the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP). The warning came after the NSPCC found adults - some in their 60s - had registered on the same site which attracts more than 1,000 UK children searching for a "date".
Some of the children registered say they are as young as nine and the NSPCC found pictures of teenagers posing in only their underwear. The charity said it also found evidence of adults asking children for mobile numbers and personal details on the unregulated site which has nearly 1,700 UK users.
