Ellen Roome started campaigning for parents to be allowed access to children’s social media after the mystery death of 14-year-old son.
A law which would allow parents to have access to their children’s social media is one step closer after a heartbroken mum started a petition following her 14-year-old son's mystery death.
"If a child died of an illness, you’d conduct a thorough postmortem but with cases like Jools’ we’re prevented from knowing what happened because these companies decide not to help. Jools certainly showed no signs of depression so there has to be an answer to why my baby is gone.” Her crusade is backed by the Bereaved Families for Online Safety group, whose members blame social media for playing a big part in their children’s deaths. Ellen joined the parents of 11 other tragic children to discuss online safety with government and Ofcom representatives last month.
Another lad who loved challenges was Christoforos Nicolaou, 15, who joined an online forum to do them. But parents George and Areti say they became more extreme and threatening, and he was found dead in Cheshunt, Herts, in 2022. His anger at tech giants was echoed by Lorin LaFave. Her son Breck Bednar, 14, was groomed by an older teen he met gaming, who lured him to his flat in Grays, Essex, in 2014 and stabbed him to death. She said: “Nobody’s making these companies change and they love the position they’re in, making massive profits while pretending they have robust age verification and other safeguarding. It’s like the Wild West online, with nobody looking after those who are most vulnerable.
