In this episode of Nurse Chat Diaries, we discuss the arrest of Justin Adkins, who authorities allege used online platforms like Snapchat and Roblox to contact and groom a minor in Florida. This case highlights the growing dangers children face in digital spaces and the emotional reality parents live with as they try to keep their kids safe online. We explore how online grooming works, warning signs families should watch for, and why social media and gaming platforms must be held accountable for stronger child safety protections.
