One question - where the heck are these kids' parents? I think most people on dating apps are under the impression that other users are of legal age.
If your child is searching for adult partners, complete strangers, over the Internet, you as a parent have a lot to answer for.
That being said, none of that justifies what happened to the minors mentioned in the article. Ultimately, there are a lot of bad people out there. It would be great for children to not be exposed to such people.
But I think the necessary change is parental supervision, not government intervention.
