Molly Russell: Did Her Death Change Social Media?

Molly Russell's father Ian travelled to the United States in 2019 to meet other parents bereaved by suicide.

Molly Russell was just 14 when she took her own life. After she died her family found graphic posts about suicide and self-harm on her Instagram account.

Her father Ian spoke out, making headlines around the world and forcing Instagram into a promise to remove the most harmful content.
In 2019, the 成人快手 followed Ian Russell as he took his campaign for a safer Internet to the US.

Further information and support for anyone affected by the issues raised in this programme can be found through the 成人快手 Action Line.
