　　The language guide decodes terms such as GNOC (get naked on camera) and ASL (age, sex, location) which are often used by youngsters using anonymous chat rooms.

　　有了这部词典，孩子们发送P999(指家长警报，告诉网友父母在身边)时，警觉的父母一眼就能发现。

　　The tool will help eagle-eyed parents spot when their child issues a P999, also known as a parent alert, to make their online friends aware their parents are around.

　　9月7日，英国教育部发布了一项名为“家长须知”的在线服务，该指南是其中一部分。这项服务旨在为青少年的生活提供引导，让家长有把握与孩子探讨敏感话题。

　　她说道：“互联网是一个非常强大的工具，它正在改变着孩子的学习、交流方式。但我们也要尽可能保证他们的上网安全。我自己也有孩子，所以我知道，确保孩子的安全对父母来说有多重要，因此，这项新的网络服务非常重要。

　　She said: 'The internet is an incredibly powerful tool, which is changing the way our children learn and stay in touch. But we must also make sure we do everything we can to help them stay safe online. As a parent myself, I understand how important it is to know your child is safe and that's why this new online service is so important.

　　“这项新服务能应对诸如网络欺凌、建立身体自信等重要问题，在这个数据化时代，我希望所有学校都能利用这个新资源来保护孩子。”

　　'I hope all schools take advantage of this new resource, which addresses fundamental issues like cyber bullying and body confidence - so that they can help protect their children in this digital age.'

　　该网站由英国国家犯罪调查局所属的儿童虐待及网络保护中心及家长空间联合开发，后者成立于2005年，旨在为家长提供帮助。

　　The website has been developed by the National Crime Agency's Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) and The Parent Zone, founded in 2005 to provide support to parents.
