Brianna Ghey's mum: Ban under 16s from social media on phones

The mother of murdered teenager Brianna Ghey has called for the government to stop children having access to social media apps on smartphones.

Speaking to the BBC, Esther Ghey also said parents should be able to download software to alert them to worrying content their children might be searching for.

Scarlett Jenkinson, who killed Brianna, had watched videos of violence and torture on the dark web.

Jenkinson plotted the murder with Eddie Ratcliffe using messaging apps.
