BC NewsJudge reserves decision in Snapchat suicide lawsuitSnapchat wants case tossedPhoto: Gary Linn - BC Courts Prince George courthouseA BC Supreme Court judge in Prince George has reserved decision about an application by the company behind Snapchat to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the parents of a 12-year-old boy who died of suicide after using the app in 2023. "There's no review of the bad actor that's referred to as ‘Kendra Boo,’ and apparently no review of any other actors who communicated with Carson by Snapchat,” Hunter said. Hunter said heavily redacted documents released by the RCMP about the investigation showed the suspect communicated with Carson via Snapchat and Google Gmail. Parents of minor age Snapchat users, including the plaintiffs, relied on Snapchat representations to believe it was safe for their children to hold accounts and determine the degree of supervision. Snapchat, Hunter said, has the capacity to detect adult users who are contacting minor age users for the purpose of sexual exploitation, but failed to do so.
