On Thursday 27th January 2005 Childnet and Lancashire Constabulary are holding a special local launch of the Jenny's Story film and support material. “Jenny’s Story” is a hard hitting film produced by Childnet working in partnership with Lancashire Constabulary. The film is based on the true story of Jenny* a young teenager who chats to a stranger online using Instant Messenger. The film shows how through online chatting, Jenny reveals personal information which results in her being contacted in real life, and ultimately hurt.
