Just that really. I know these apps have 13+ ratings, I also know many kids have them before that age. Standing my ground regarding NOT getting these for ds. I feel like Im a total anomaly! Some parents I know who’ve got them (specifically Snap) have ended up deleting due to bullying. I Read the class WhatsApp last night as part of regular check of child’s phone and it was toxic af. And that’s just WhatsApp!!! 🤨
