Ms Muireann Whelan:

On Snapchat, parents could be friends with their child. Parents might not get all the children's Snapchat posts individually. There are many Snapchat stories with pictures of people who do not want to be filmed or photographed. A parent could see such a story and tell her child to take it down because she does not want to see her child bullying someone. A youth would be more respectful if his or her parents were on the same page. I refer to where parents understand technology and are able to socialise with their children on social media. It is beneficial for parents to see what their children are up to and to know they can trust them even if they are not with them.
