UK schools and libraries remove children's books linked to pornographic website

independent.co.uk

Children's books featuring a website link have been removed from UK schools and libraries due to the link redirecting to explicit content. The popular Spy Dogs, Spy Pups, and Spy Cat series by Andrew Cope had a web address that now leads to adult material. Publisher Puffin has paused sales and is working to address the issue. The books, aimed at seven-to-12-year-olds, are being pulled as a safeguarding measure. The website was previously for author information but is now controlled by an unrelated third party.
