World’s most famous social networking site Facebook, is receiving lots of pressure from the British child protection authorities to include a ‘Panic’ button in their WebPages.

Ashleigh Hall, a 17 year old teenager of Britain was killed by a person whom she met on Facebook.

After this incident the British child protection authorities are requesting Facebook and other social networking sites to install a panic button on their web pages.

This panic button will help the children to get immediate police help if they suspect they are at risk.

The deputy leader of Britain's governing Labour Party, Harriet Harman said that the ministers are lobbying Facebook to adopt the button.
