Just been on the news again about children being added to WhatsApp groups and seeing racism, violence and sexual images.
People also getting their phone numbers.

Why? Whose behind this and why are they doing it, it's abit sick isn't it? What do they want to achieve?

Whys everything have to be so horrible today?
It's a different world sadly.
What a nightmare for parents having to negotiate all this.
The people who are making money out of social media couldn't give a toss.
They must have children though or have children in their family.
How do they deal with it with their children? 🤮😭👎

What's wrong with texting, children don't need WhatsApp
What a nightmare.

It's up to parents to police their child's phone use

I mean, do they even need 'WhatsApp'??

Children are horrible to other children on WhatsApp - my DC got WhatsApp in the summer holidays after they left primary on the agreement that we read all their messages. It was an absolute eye opener 😳. 3 of the girls in my eldest son’s class were absolute cows on WhatsApp, vile, their parents either didn’t know or didn’t care 🤷‍♀️
