Warning Frog- The App

By Community, Mental Health, Online safety, PSHE, Safeguarding

South Yorkshire Police and Social Care have received concerning information regarding a new social media App called ‘Frog’.  The App is aimed at a Primary aged audience and has recently exploded in popularity.  Police have significant concerns as the App is primarily targeted at primary aged children.  The App has very limited identity verification requirements.

Specialist Police partners have seen significant information suggesting there is a legitimate risk to Primary aged children being groomed.
