AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - Social media companies often say they’re keeping children safe.

But one tech expert, who’s also a mom, says the platforms aren’t doing nearly enough, and that kids are in danger on apps many parents don’t even think to worry about.

She’s seen the data, heard the stories, and is sounding the alarm for parents.

Social media platforms claim they’re making progress when it comes to protecting children online. But Titania Jordan, Chief Parenting Officer at Bark, says the reality tells a different story.

“Self-harm, suicide, sexual content, anxiety, bullying, disordered eating, predators, violence; the rate that children are experiencing things online continues to rise.”
