UK children searching for a fun educational website have been directed to an R18 gay fetish site by Google, leaving British education officials red-faced. Adults only: The other 'Busters World' 'Busters World', part of the DirectgovKids website, features quizzes and games for kids aged 5-11. But the top listing under 'Busters World' on Google is an adult-only site for men who enjoy sex involving balloons. "The naming of this web page was clearly a mistake and we regret that the supplier's usual thorough checking procedures when creating web content seem to have failed," says a spokesperson for the government's Department of Children, Schools and Families. "When this was brought to our attention we urgently took the site down, pending a rename, to avoid any further issues. The name concerned was new and had not yet been promoted widely to young people. "The safety of children on the internet is of paramount importance and we will be looking at the procedures of our suppliers to ensure this does not happen again."
