TikTok ruined my kid’s life — now I’m suing it with 5,000 other parents
NY Post
When Brittany Edwards discovered a distressing post on her 12-year-old daughter’s TikTok account indicating thoughts of self-harm, she was beside herself.
“At first, I was pissed off, I was angry, I was upset,” Edwards, 34, told The Post. “I didn’t understand where this was coming from or why she said that or why she posted that.”
The single mother of three was informed of her post when another mom texted to ask if everything was OK.
“I’m like, ‘What? What do you mean, what’s going on? Because I’m home. We’re all home,’ ” she shared.
That’s when Edwards was sent a screenshot of her daughter’s post that explicitly stated, “LOWKEY GONNA COMMIT Suicide.”
Naturally, the nurse from Hartford, Connecticut, felt overwhelmed and confused. She is now one of 5,000 parents using Claimshero.io to sue TikTok, which has been dubbed “the big tobacco of the digital age.”
