Expert shares warning signs and advice for parents after report of child groomed on Spotify

A safeguarding expert has shared her advice and warnings for parents after a mum reported her daughter, aged just 11, was groomed to send sexually explicit images on Spotify.

The mum-of-two, who is going by the name of Rachel, was horrified to discover that her little girl, still in primary school, had been targeted by predators on the music streaming platform, and uploaded at least 10 indecent images before her account was disabled.

Rachel, who is a primary school teacher from Stockport, Greater Manchester, felt as though the 'bottom of the world had fallen' upon the discovery - and now wants to help other parents to prevent it from happening to other children.
