Schools meet internet company over sectarian hate messages

Police and representatives from schools in a town blighted by sectarian violence in the North today met an internet company about tackling hate messages on its site.

Representatives from hit teen site Bebo, which carried threats against teenagers in the wake of 15-year-old Michael McIlveen's murder in Ballymena in May, met police from the town and representatives from grammar and secondary schools on both sides of the religious divide.
