Parents PLEASE check your children’s phones. It is a dark and dangerous world out there and they know just how to connect to your child and build their trust.

💥 What Just Happened Today Online — And What You Need to Do About It?!!

Yesterday, a ground-breaking urgent court order was granted against Meta yesterday, with thanks (and huge Kudos) to our friends at the Digital Law Company.

Why?

Because multiple anonymous WhatsApp channels were being used to share explicit “leaks” — including s*x tapes and nudes of minors, many of which were solicited via Instagram and spread via WhatsApp.

Some of the posts claimed kids had STDs, HIV, or racked up so-called "body counts."

The damage? Devastating.

Children were named and shamed
Parents reported it in multiple schools.

Two attempted suicides have been linked to the exposure

🧑‍⚖️ The court has now ordered Meta to:
✅ Delete the WhatsApp and Instagram accounts
✅ Disclose the identity of the person behind the leaks

A landmark moment for digital justice.

But also a brutal reminder: this is the world our kids are online in — whether we like it or not.

So What Now, as a Parent?

1️⃣ Check your child’s WhatsApp
Seriously. Look at what groups they’re in. Ask what “channels” they follow. See what’s being shared. If you’re met with resistance — that’s a flag in itself.

To do this, open Whatsapp, Click “Updates” Icon in the bottom left hand corner. There you will find the “Channels” your child is following - open them up to see the content that may be hiding in plain sight. It could be pornographic, it could be solicitous, it just be unpleasantly vulgar or threatening. Hopefully it is none of the above, but check you must.

2️⃣ Talk about strangers online
This isn’t just about creepy DMs. It’s about what can happen when someone earns your child’s trust… and then turns it into currency.

📣 Not every online stranger is a “predator.” Some are classmates. Some are ex-friends. Some are influencers pretending to be 14. Your child needs to know how to spot the difference — and what to do when something feels off.

You’ve got more power than you think.

This isn’t about spying. It’s about staying connected, having hard conversations, and showing your child that they don’t have to navigate this alone.

You’ve got this 💪
