Snapchat’s Role in Child Abuse Lawsuit

A Missouri lawsuit targets Snap and a convicted predator for enabling the rape of a 12-year-old girl met on Snapchat — alleging the app’s design, Snap Maps, and lax account policies made it easy for the attacker to manipulate and locate her. The predator, now serving 18 years, used multiple banned accounts to target young girls. The victim suffers from PTSD, anxiety, and depression, and the suit demands systemic changes to protect minors. This follows similar legal actions, including a New Mexico suit denied by a judge, exposing a mounting crisis over social media’s role in child exploitation.
