Mum's the Word: 'I’m calling time on the Tik Tok app – it’s a bomb waiting to go off'

I THINK by now it is safe to say that most of us have heard of Tik Tok. I also think it is safe to say as parents many or most of us have been plagued by numerous requests from our children to get their own Tik Tok account — I know I sure have.
It feels as though this new(ish) video-sharing platform is just another online space for us to get our heads around. What is it exactly, what do kids seem to love about it, and is it safe? Tik Tok first came into our lives about six months ago when a local pal of my daughter Joan showed her her account.
