150 Parents. One Voice.
Protecting Children from Social Media Harm.
Standing together at the U.S. Capitol, united by loss - and determined to make sure no other family has to endure this pain.
150 Bereaved Parents at the Capitol, Washington, D.C.
In Washington, D.C., more than 150 bereaved parents gathered at the Capitol, each carrying the photograph of a child they love and have lost.
Different countries. Different stories. The same heartbreak.
This was not just a memorial. It was a moment to stand together, to speak, and to be heard. Behind every photo was a child who should still be here. Behind every parent was grief that never leaves.
Five British parents knelt quietly on the grass in front of the U.S. Capitol, thousands of miles from home, holding photographs of their children and signs calling for accountability. Around them, red roses were placed across the lawn — each one representing a young life lost.
They were not alone. Behind them stood American parents who share the same grief, the same unanswered questions, and the same determination to fight for change.
This is more than remembrance. It is a call for action.
Behind every photo is a child who should still be here.
Behind every step is grief that never leaves.
These parents did not choose this fight — it was forced upon them.
Now they are speaking because their children no longer can.
This must stop.
Protecting Children in Schools and Online
A new law is coming in the UK.
Mobile phones will be banned in schools — and this time it will not just be guidance. It will be a legal requirement, with schools potentially facing fines if they do not follow it.
This is a major step towards protecting children by reducing distractions, bullying, harmful content, and the risks that come with constant online access during the school day.
But we must ask:
Why has it taken this long?
And is it enough to truly keep children safe?
Social media is not harmless.
It is costing young lives.
