#NoChildLostToSocialMedia
Who We Are
Parents in our community share a range of experiences. Many have lost a child and are working together to navigate grief and everything that comes with it. Others have children who have experienced near-fatal harm, or are actively struggling with present-day issues of cyberbullying, depression and anxiety, sexual exploitation, eating disorders, and a range of other traumas related to social media use.
Some are seeking ways to channel pain into purpose. Some are simply trying to survive – while ensuring our kids do the same. All of us are seeking safe, supportive environments where we can talk openly about experiences often kept under lock and key, and forge meaningful relationships with others who understand.
We, The Parents’ Network, Say “No More”.
“No More” blaming families.
“No More” allowing social media companies to prioritize profit over our children’s safety.
“No More” watching our youth suffer.
The time for change is now.
And it begins with us.
Use your voice. Join our campaign.
For our children. For your children. For all children.

We won’t stop fighting for change until social media companies make their platforms safer by design. One child lost, is already one too many.
