A father warned other parents today of the dangers of children playing computer games online after sexual comments were made to his six-year-old son. The boy was playing Minecraft on his Xbox in his room in Middlesbrough, when he was allegedly sent a series of sexually explicit comments by an unknown man in audio and written messages. Cleveland Police were investigating what had happened today after receiving a report from the father. He cannot be named to protect the identity of his son, who has Asperger syndrome.
