A Scottish council has launched an investigation after children were reportedly exposed to hardcore porn on school-issued laptops. Kids at a primary school in the Highland Council area saw the X-rated images after clicking on an advert in a webpage in their classroom.
One shocked parent has since claimed to have replicated the actions for themselves on the devices at home. Council bosses have issued over 23,000 Chromebook laptops to primary and secondary-age pupils, and said last year the devices had the "latest security software" meant to protect kids.
But in footage seen by the Record, parents were able to access unfiltered results for explicit search terms, including graphic sexual images and videos. One mum says she was able to reproduce the results on laptops belonging to her other children – leaving kids with the tech at risk of seeing upsetting and explicit content on their school devices.
