One grieving mother said her teenage son had been harassed so badly on Snapchat that he took his own life. But Jack Parker’s desperate mother discovered that he had been harassed on Snapchat. According to Karen, this allows users to write whatever they want, safe in the knowledge that they will not be held accountable for their comments. The main feature of the popular social media platform is that pictures and messages are usually only visible for a short time before they disappear. Karen, 43, says she discovered within days that Jack was being bullied on Snapchat.
