Teen’s Social Media Deactivated After Ignoring Internet Safety Course

A concerned guardian, who has custody of her 13-year-old niece, allowed her to create social media profiles on her birthday, with the condition that the accounts remain private and she only accepts requests from people she knows. However, after discovering her niece had changed her account settings to public and shared personal information, the guardian insisted she take an internet safety course. When the niece failed to take the course seriously, the guardian deactivated her social media accounts, leading to a conflict with her own mother.
