I know this because her phone is in the living room at night, and I had to start putting it on aeroplane mode because it was still buzzing all night...


Anyway. My 10 year old is allowed to post to Social Media (Instagram and TikTok) but we follow her and keep a close eye on what is posted, and messaging is disabled. She's only allowed to message people she actually knows on WhatsApp. The only thing we've had to outright say no to is Snapchat.


Make sure she isn’t able to do those LIVE shows .. good luck

Lockdown has also been a massive strain on a lot of parents. Some having to work at home whilst homeschooling has made them a little more reliant on technology and quite often the kids are far more savvy then their elders.

I am told often that I am ruining my sons life by restricting his online activities and not allowing him a sim card as ALL his friends have mobiles on contracts.

Go figure , I was just about to say the same thing about him being protected .

Tiktok makes it far too easy for creepy predators to groom kids , this isn't the first time with tik tok . it was only a matter of time before violence was the result .

They should definitely start punishing parents who allow kids under 13 to have social media accounts.
