The parents of a girl who was raped as a 12-year-old by a man who groomed her through Snapchat have sued the platform’s parent company, Snap, as well as the attacker.
The lawsuit, filed in a Missouri state court on Wednesday, claims that Snap has refused to disable allegedly dangerous features in its app and has failed to warn parents about potential harms posed to child users.
