At its root, allowing your minor to use Snapchat is a dangerous idea. Temporary stories, 24-hour messages, and hidden content make social media accountability and transparency almost impossible which can easily tempt children to send compromising and inappropriate pictures and engage in bullying activities.

When debate is lost, the violent turn to bullets. Charlie Kirk’s assassination is a tragic reminder: force is the refuge of those who cannot win with truth. His widow’s response of forgiveness shines with the power of Christ in the face of hatred.
