GRAFTON, W.Va. — A Harrison County man faces charges for soliciting a minor for allegedly attempting to message a 14-year-old on social media for explicit content. The Taylor County Sheriff’s Office announced that Travis Grant Jr., 20, of Clarksburg, has been charged with soliciting a minor via computer for allegedly requesting explicit material from a fake Snapchat account that was posing as a 14 year old girl. According to a criminal complaint, officers with the Grafton Police responded to a Walnut Street apartment for an alleged “sexual assault.” Once arriving and speaking with officers, two females eventually spoke with deputies, who explained that one of them set up a fake Snapchat account pretending to be 14 to talk to Grant. Deputies later confirmed that Grant believed the female was 14 based on her profile and messages while asking her for explicit material based on saved screenshots. Officials made a preservation request to Snapchat to preserve all records of messages between all parties involved and search warrants were obtained for multiple cell phones. Grant is currently in the Tygart Valley Regional Jail with bond set at $20,000.

In my experience, teaching early high school English is difficult for three main reasons. Students face extensive workloads, leading to rushed or ignored work. Two, English as a discipline is deeply interconnected, meaning that to comprehensively understand a text, you would need to understand the context of its inception, its influences and its criticisms. As Kamala Harris says, “You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?”. The third and most recent wound is the spread of short-form algorithmically dispensed content, a Hydra with its serpentine heads christened Instagram / Snapchat Reels, TikToks, and Youtube Shorts. Whatever app you delete, two more will take its place.   While other difficulties with learning have remained consistent across centuries, the mentioned short-form content has been around for a little under 20 years. Social media has become a ubiquitous medium for younger generations in Australia to communicate, and its popularity correlates with a broader decline in in-person socialisation and readership. In their 2025 Transparency Report, the national eSafety Commissioner found that “almost all (95 per cent) 13-15 year-olds surveyed had used social media between January and September 2024”, with Snapchat, Tiktok and Instagram used by 63 per cent, 62 per cent, and 56
