On Friday, March 22, Gateshead Council asked us to share communication about a report of a group on a social media messaging app containing inappropriate content aimed at young people.
Although this messaging was shared in good faith, some of the details had at that point not been verified.
We would therefore ask you to please not reference this, including on social media.
As always, we would also ask that you continue to take an interest in your children’s use of social media and if you do have concerns that you report these to the police.
Officers take matters such as this extremely seriously and are investigating the report of the social media group.
