Exclusive: Mother of Brianna Ghey says teenagers need to be protected from social media #shorts

I personally would like to see mobile phones that are suitable for under 16s they can’t download um social media apps and that are also connected to the adult’s phone so that if any words any concerning words are typed into that phone then will be flagged up on the

Adult’s phone I’m just hoping to improve the mental health of young people because Brianna struggled with her mental health and I really know from a parents perspective how hard that can be and also to try and create a more empathetic and more understanding society as well

  1. It's called a burner phone? I mean, you can't check your child's messages or what they type, but I hope people understand the fact that children should be allowed some privacy with their friends.

  2. The reason the world is going bad is due to parents like this one not getting help for there children at an early age,they push them into becoming a gender they are not,she's openly admitting she suffered from mental ill health.

  3. Never work In a hundred years….. damage from social media is done. And kids will just by second hand phones from other people. It's a shame it will never work.

  4. They shouldn't be allowed them full stop. I remember when only the certain few kids got mum n dad to buy them phones at an earlier age. Now everyone has to have one. The corps want you dumb and now they want your kids depressed and on medication. Whether it's legal or not.

  5. That would be a good start anyway. But in reality we simply need to reinvent a world with morals, principles, and values. Hold men and women accountable for their perverse and destructive behavior. Hold those who engage in perverse and immoral behaviors responsible for their part in this destructive society. Unfortunately we live in a society that is enthralled with and rewards the worst possible qualities of humanity. Our current society rejoices men and women who embody the worst possible qualities of either sex.

  6. I mean it was her job to protect her child . Her child was brainwashed and indoctrinated into becoming trans . That should of been dealt with , the fact he become trans was because of the social media you let him use .

  7. Parents are to blame as they buy them for there children and they can have any content they want.The social media do not care about mental health as ads selling and running it like a business.

  8. There seems to be lot of weird obfuscation these days…

    The Jewish mp who received threats and had his office burned didn’t blame the obvious culprits, but instead was told by the party to blame social media and email…

    This poor woman’s child was murdered by violent thugs with knives, and again they are focusing on social media and not the event. She wasn’t killed by a phone she was actively and savagely attacked by a person with a deadly weapon.

    It’s hard not to notice the coordinated coalescence around this issue and not the actual events and direct causes.
