Growth in Snapchat use sparks cyberbullying and sexting fears

Summary | A recent survey says that 80% of 13-year-olds and 90% of 15-year-olds use Snapchat in Ireland. This rapid upsurge must be reflected in online safety prevention particularly because Snapchat is known to be used for teenage sexting. Sexting among minors is illegal as it qualifies as manufacturing and distributing child pornography. It is important that parents explain to their children that despite the self-destruct function on Snapchat, their content can still be stored by the recipients by screenshotting the snaps.
