The dangers of TikTok
This morning on Dublin Talks we spoke to a mother who want to warn other parents of the dangers of TikTok.
Lorin LaFave's son Breck was tragically murdered after being groomed online through gaming.
Lorin went on to found The Breck Foundation to raise awareness and warn other parents about the dangers online.
The increase in children spending time online this year, as predicted, has lead to a 45% increase in online child sexual abuse! It's more important than ever that we speak to children about grooming.

Speaking about TikTok, Lorin says the algorithm can expose children to harmful content. She believes all parents should be watching their children's usage very closely.
