I've just been told my my older daughter that her 15 year old sister has been befriending and chatting to a large number of boys on yubo(?)
Shes told me as she said she was concerned by the number of boys chatting to her and the fact at least 1 has asked for sex. She did say no thank god, but hes apparently apologised and wants to meet her. She's asked her sister to cover for her as she wants to meet him. My older daughter said absolutely not and advised she deleted him as its not right.
I need to approach this with her,but don't want to drop my older daughter it and risk my younger daughter not confiding in anyone and we will know nothing. Any advice on the best way to approach this would be much obliged. Several times ive had the discussion about Internet safety not giving out personal details, not sending pics, not adding people you don't know or meetinganykne, but she clearly saying the right things to me and doing the opposite. I know social media is a massive part of teenagers lives now, and understand at 15/16 they need ghier privacy to addgree, but I really worried about what she's doing.

How about take her phone and say you need to check it to make sure she is safe. I do this with my 14 year old daughter when I have concerns.
