CoE-EDP, VisionRI | Updated: 04-01-2026 09:25 IST | Created: 04-01-2026 09:25 IST Researchers from University College London’s Centre for Multidisciplinary and Intercultural Inquiry and Institute of Education, together with scholars from Western University in Canada and Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, set out to understand how Snapchat shapes teenage relationships, intimacy, and harm. Their study focuses on British teens aged 13 to 18 and was conducted after COVID-19 lockdowns, when young people spent more time online. Rather than treating Snapchat as simply a risky app, the researchers show how it has become a core part of teenage social life, influencing how young people make friends, flirt, explore sexuality, and experience abuse. Everyday Connection and New Friendships For most participants, Snapchat was an essential communication tool. Teens described using it constantly to message friends, share jokes, send photos, and feel close to others, especially during lockdown when face-to-face contact was limited. The app’s disappearing messages and casual photo-sharing felt less pressured than other platforms, making it easier to be spontaneous and “real.” At the same time, Snapchat encouraged teens to connect with people they did not fully know. The “Quick Add” feature suggested new contacts based on mutual friends, and many

LAFOURCHE PARISH (WVUE) - A Georgia man has been arrested for asking a Lafourche Parish teenage girl for sexual photos and videos, police say. Robert Itter, 69, of Rossville, Georgia, faces multiple sex offenses following the investigation. He was booked on two counts of computer-aided solicitation for sexual purposes, 12 counts of pornography involving juveniles, and 13 counts of indecent behavior with juveniles. Bail is set at $150,000. Detectives began an investigation earlier this year after learning a 15-year-old girl from Galliano had been messaging adult men on Snapchat. They learned she had also sent and received sexual messages, photos and videos. After a thorough investigation, which involved downloading information from the girl’s cell phone and getting search warrants for Snapchat and email accounts, detectives identified Itter as a suspect. Detectives learned that sexual content was allegedly sent and received after the girl told Itter her age. Detectives got a warrant for Itter’s arrest and additional search warrants for his home. With the help of the Walker County Sheriff’s Office in Georgia, Itter was arrested on December 8, 2025. He was brought to Louisiana and taken to the Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex on Jan. 2.
