Parents are being warned of online dangers after a child was allegedly sent a lewd request through an app.
The ten year old's mother raised the alarm after her daughter received the message.
Councillor Colly Kelly said:
"The world has become a very small place indeed, and, every day, global connections are made, just at the push of a button. This, combined with the rise of smartphones, means that almost any information can be discovered online at any time.
"All that has great advantages, but with those technological advances come inherent dangers, particularly to young children and vulnerable people.
"It is vital that children are informed about internet safety, and they must be equipped with the contact details of sources of help."
