A 17-year-old girl who says she has been exposed to harrowing content such as beheading videos, footage of a young child shooting another and porn has joined a legal action against the government.
Flossie McShea, 17, is among those adding their support to two fathers’ claim for a judicial review, which seeks to have smartphones completely banned in schools. She said she has joined as a claimant because she feels the Department for Education (DfE) has failed to protect her and other children from harms inflicted by phones during the school day.
