Were there any cases in which children and young teenagers were the targets of bullying, identity theft, privacy issues on TikTok? What steps did you take to protect them? Tell us your story.

We would like to hear from parents and teachers willing to share their experience with us to help in an upcoming investigation into the safety of children and young teenagers using TikTok. 

Scroll down for more information about how to take part.

The key things we want to know:

  • What steps did parents take to protect their children and young teenagers on the platform?
  • Were there any cases in which children and young teenagers were the targets of bullying, identity theft, privacy issues etc.?
  • If/how the potential danger in the digital environment is harming their childrens’ physical safety?
  • What do teachers know about the network and how do they educate children about it?

We will not publish any documents or names without prior consent and we do not plan to use specific examples, but rather show more general systemic problems. Your responses are secure and encrypted.

Your stories will be used to help us with an ongoing investigation.
