A cyber watchdog company wants to keep kids safe from online predators, especially if kids are using an app called Wizz.

himself on the app as a 14-year-old kid before allegedly raping a 13-year-old Clay County girl he met through the app.

The Wizz app appears to be like any other social media app that allows users 13 years old and up to meet other people and hold conversations. But according to Titania Jordan, chief parent officer of the company, it’s not a good app for kids.
