WHO WAS COLLIN? Collin Kartchner, a father of 4, child advocate, social activist and founder of the world-wide movement #SavetheKids, spoke openly to schools and communities across the US and Canada on the dangers of kids using smart phones and social media like Snapchat, TikTok, & Instagram, as well as the negative effects of violent video gaming and pornography. His goal was to help teens rise above social media comparison, negativity, cyber bullying, and the stress of being perfect. He was also adamant that most kids aren’t being exposed to porn for the first time directly from the porn sites, but from apps like TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram.
He called TikTok “the Pied Piper, leading our children off the cliff of their childhoods”, and that TikTok is “the sound of an app stealing your kid’s life away”.
He called Snapchat “a disaster app that glorifies porn, sex, suicide, drugs, and other inappropriate topics,” and declared 1 June 2018 “Delete Snapchat Day”, calling for parents and kids to take a stand together.
Collin’s rallying cry was: “We’re fighting a trillion dollar tech industry with zero accountability and zero incentive to stop throwing kids under their digital bus.”

No one makes good decisions when they are tired. And with night time being "prime time" for cyber bullying, it's a no brainer to keep devices out of bedrooms at night.
