Top marks for ingenuity even if it didn't quite come off. The NSPCC obviously feel internet guidlines only have limited options that they feel they have control of.
Prudence, longfield, kent
You really can't win with the NSPCC, can you! I wonder why the school felt the need to do this. Maybe there's one child in that photo who would not be able to take part if their faces were shown. If so, this seems like a neat solution.
Liz, Bristol,
The kids look really sinister with their heads replaced with creepy smiley faces. Why post the photo at all?
I'm glad the NSPCC have stepped in and said it is stupid.
DS, London,
The NSPCC exists to publicise itself.
Morris, aylesbury,
Just why has the NSPCC taken this silly thing on board? What possible harm can come to the children, unless of course the children have ACTUALLY had their faces removed and replaced with carton characters?
Chris Cloke doesn't have enough to do methinks.
Bill Q, Derby,
All rather sad but a true reflection of 'civilised' Britain in 2008. A once proud land of jobsworths and political correctness taken to extremes.
