More needs to be done on phone menace in schools as attacks are shared on social media

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Victims of youth violence had the chance to make their voices heard at Bute House yesterday. It was the second time a summit has been convened by the Scottish Government on the rise in sickening assaults against teenagers, many of which are shared on social media.

It is vital that youngsters are given the opportunity to share their real-life experiences on the matter. The First Minister deserves credit for taking time out of his busy schedule to meet with young Scots.

The Record has led the way in calling for action on the issue with our long-running Our Kids... Our Future campaign. We’ve spelled out the need to protect spaces for youngsters in the community amid ongoing cutbacks to public services.

And we have repeatedly called out the failures of social media giants to remove harmful content from their platforms quick enough.
