Warning over Snapchat account sharing indecent images of Island children

Parents have called for action against a social media account which targets the Island's young people.

One parent contacted 3FM to explain the Snapchat account has been posting videos and photos of local children.

They claim the compromising material was shared after youngsters were tricked into sending it - one mum only discovered her boy had been targeted because they'd set parental controls which alerted them to the account.

Other videos of violence against Island youths have also been shared.

The concerned relative says police have been informed but they want to make sure parents are aware of the danger.
