How safe is your child online? The Kerala case that exposes dark side of dating apps

A 16-year-old boy from Kerala recently became the victim in a disturbing case that highlights the dangers of online dating apps.

Police charged 14 people, including government workers, with sexually assaulting the teenager. The group allegedly befriended the boy through the app before the attacks occurred.

As the investigation unfolded last month, it was discovered the teenager, who is now safe, had been using fake profiles to stay active on the platform for almost two years.
