Parents across the country are desperate for the answer after social media ruined the mental health of their children. They are asking a South Florida Attorney for help. The Heather Walker of Knightm has 7 investigations tonight.
Social media started people in a fun way to join friends, but now, parents say it is destroying the lives of their children.
Some people traveling to Washington DC to face the CEO of the social app in the hearing before the Congress.
American Senator: “Have you apologized to the victims?”
Other parents want to sue what has happened to their children.
Jennifer Bigs/Parents: “She was doing some material on Tiktok and was being harassed.”
Jennifer Bigs says that the post of his 13 -year -old daughter on Tiktok converted her into a target.
Jennifer Bigs/Parents: “Especially an adult who asked her to kill himself. She was withdrawn, and depressed, would not really talk, no social event with her friends. Start cutting I cut the ticket from his life. ,
Jennifer wants Tikok to take responsibility for what happened to his daughter.
Jennifer Bigs/Parents: “Please care about our children. Our children matters the most. They care about their content so that there is no other damage. ,
He saw Tikokkok in taking this material to court not to block this material which can be dangerous for children. But like other parents, he found that it was difficult.
Calvin Gode/Dawa Nayak: “They will try to bring a suit in court and feel that, no, it is not allowed.”
Attorney Calvin Gode says under Tikok’s terms and conditions, those users who want to sue, first have to undergo arbitration and you need a lawyer for it.
Calvin Gode/Claim Hero: “These lawyers want to charge them for hours. This was something that they could not tolerate. ,
You can only proceed in court if there is no compromise during arbitration. But there is another obstacle. You have to appoint a licensed lawyer to practice in California, because in fine print, Ticketkok says this is the only state where you can file.
Calvin Gode/Claim Hero: “So imagine that you are in Florida and you have a claim against Ticketok. You have to travel to California in all ways, to represent you in California, in California. ,
Gode has heard from thousands of families who want to take social media giants. So he created a website called “Claim Hero”. It combines parents with legal resources.
Calvin Gode/Dawa Nayak: “Children are currently in a mental health crisis. So I had to take action. ,
The claim hero is not a legal firm and does not give legal advice. But it helps people communicate with lawyers and navigate the arbitration process. So far, more than 6,000 families across the country have signed up.
Kelvin Gode/Dawa Nayak: “We are receiving hundreds of submissions in a day of parents, such as everyone, the same thing: their children are accustomed to this app.”
It is rightly claimed that Hero is focusing on Tikok, but Gode says that he intends to expand other social media apps.
Calvin Gode/Claim Hero: “I think they can fight back, they can fight, right? I think we make it easy for them to fight back. ,
Gode hopes that by helping the parents fight back, the end result will be a safe online experience for all children.
