Children across South Shropshire, North Herefordshire and Worcestershire are being encouraged to talk to their parents if threatening messages pop up on YouTube clips of things like Peppa Pig and Fortnite.

It has already been linked to the suicide of a 12-year-old girl in Argentina and at least 130 teen deaths across Russia.

Matthew Smith from the suicide prevention charity If U Care Share wants host platforms to do more:
