When Glenn was 15 years old, he made one nude with his phone. But when this photo ended up online, he took his own life. Child Focus reactivated the same phone that once destroyed his life to protect other minors against transgressive sexting and exposing. We adapted Glenn’s voicemail message and changed its purpose. By leaving their name after the tone, people supported our audio petition for a better online protection of minors. This led to parliament unanimously approving a resolution, making Belgium the first country in the world with a commissioner dedicated to children’s online safety.
