Brianna Ghey’s mother warns tech bosses more children will die without action

Esther Ghey said technology companies have a 'moral responsibility' to restrict access to harmful online content.

The 37-year-old food technologist said tech bosses were also culpable when it came to the wave of anxiety and mental health problems affecting children.

She believes her daughter was vulnerable after spending so much time online, lacking contact with her real-life friends.

Ghey is campaigning for the introduction of children’s phones’ with no social media apps.

The parents would be alerted any time the child downloaded anything, or if they searched for alarming content.

Scarlett Jenkinson , who murdered Brianna with Eddie Ratcliffe , had downloaded an app to access the dark web when she was just 14 .
