Porn picture shows up instead of Titanic

Children at a school in Liverpool, England, researching the Titanic on the Internet came up with a picture of a sex act instead of the ship.

The Liverpool Echo reports the Mab Lane primary school has suspended all Internet access until it can install 2,000 pounds ($3,522) worth of software that will allow access only to pre-selected sites.

Steve Johnson said his daughter, Faye, 10, was one of the children who saw the image.

"She said one of her friends screamed when she saw the picture," he told the newspaper.

School officials blamed the picture on a faulty firewall that should have filtered out the image.
