As more and more teens fall victim to online scams, head of the Royal Bahamas Police Force’s Digital Forensic and Investigation Unit, Inspector Chekesha McPhee, said she is a proponent of countries removing the use of social media apps from minors.
McPhee, who spoke to the media during the Bahamas Telecommunications Company’s (BTC) Safer Internet Day activities for teens, said the most used apps for young people in The Bahamas are Discord, TikTok, Snapchat and Facebook, with Discord being the most popular.
According to McPhee, minors have fallen victim to child pornography and sex schemes online. She urged the parents of teens to keep a close eye on their children’s online activities.
