"Esther Ghey stated, 'While we, as bereaved families, may not have the financial influence of large corporations, what we do have is an unwavering determination to ensure no child or parent has to endure the pain and suffering we experienced.'"
"'It is in that spirit that I, and other bereaved families, are requesting a meeting so you can hear first-hand why it is so urgent that governments act to protect children and young people,' Ghey expressed in her letter."
"'The government said they share Esther Ghey's determination to keep children safe online, adding: This is a complex issue with no overall consensus.'"
Esther Ghey expressed disappointment that the prime minister met with social media executives before engaging with bereaved families. She, along with 12 other families, emphasized the need for their voices in discussions about online safety. Ghey has been advocating for restrictions on social media for youth following her daughter Brianna's murder. The government acknowledged the complexity of online safety issues and stated their commitment to protecting children. Ghey requested a meeting to convey the urgency of the situation directly to the prime minister.
