Protecting our youth from digital exploitation

WANITA MCA is deeply disturbed by the recent cases of teenage girls being deceived into sending explicit images under the guise of a medical examination and students fined for possessing pornography. These incidents highlight not only the vulnerability of young people to manipulation but also the broader societal failures in protecting them from exploitation and harmful content.

As someone who believes in the dignity and safety of all individuals and as a mother of two young children, I find these actions reprehensible and call for urgent measures to address such abuses.
