"I have no doubt that Instagram helped kill my daughter." No father should have to speak these words. After the tragic loss of his 14-year-old girl, Molly, Ian has demanded greater accountability from social media companies. And now KiDS is joining the fight. Social media plays a critical role in our world, providing both risks and vital support, especially for underrepresented groups like LGBTQ+ youth. The campaign aims to educate the public on these risks while advocating for regulation and accountability from online platforms and ensuring safer online environments for all. Together we can demand accountability and make social media a safer place for our children. #LabelTheRisk #EveryClickHasACost #KeepItDigitallySafe

A cyber dare took his life - it’s time to do something about it. After being granted only one hour of screen time one evening, 12-year-old Matthew Minor lost his life after attempting to complete the viral “Blackout Challenge” that is circulating on TikTok and YouTube. Matt was a loving and charismatic kid who lit up any room he entered. He always stood up for what was right and uplifted his community. To honor his life, Todd and Mia created the Matthew E. Minor Awareness Foundation which is dedicated to raising awareness about the hidden dangers of the internet that affect children and teens, including cyberbullying, self-harm, dangerous challenges like the “Blackout Challenge,” and supporting families as they cope with the grief of losing a loved one to these hideous online threats. His story isn’t unique. That is why we are proud to be partnered with the Matthew E. Minor Awareness Foundation. Together, we can advocate for stronger online protections to keep our youth safe. ??
