In addition, the article says:

"The conviction of Peter Chapman for the murder of 17-year-old Ashleigh Hall
led to renewed calls for a "panic button".

The convicted sex offender lured the teenager to her death using Facebook."

So she went to meet the guy and ended up dead.  Sad, but let's think for a
moment - if it's somebody you're planning to meet, are you going to push
that panic button?  No, you're going to push it if it's somebody creepy that
you *don't* want to meet anyhow.

So what problem is the panic button actually solving?
