Tik Tok concerns

[bombaychef]

My DD age 10 has very very restricted access to Tik Tok which I have only allowed as most of the girls she's friendly with in her class have it. I have full access and check everything she posts. She only has 10 followers / friends on there.
Some of the girls however (and boys for that matter) have un secured accounts and 300/400 followers: not her immediate friends but children she knows and can see the accounts off. Parents must not be checking as surely this makes them very vulnerable?
There's a lot of really bad language and references to guns / sex / violence / b*tches etc. Some of the kids are only 8 or 9 and the oldest I've been looking at are in Year 6. Anyone else encountered similar? I'm torn about speaking to school about it.

honestly its just an harmless app occasionlly theres bad content but that is very rare and the way tiktok works is its based on your interest so because shes a child the videos shell see will mostly be animals dancing etc. her having tiktok has nothing to do with her school what would they do about it lmao

I would delete your child's account, maybe set up your own one so she can watch the odd celebrity video, and let the school know a rough synopsis of what you've seen. I'm sure they are on the ball with internet safety and would be very interested.

Why are you responding to a zombie thread? FWIW schools do get involved in kids' SM activity where it affects them.

If you think it's a harmless app, you're deluded. Do some research.
