Americans are saying toodaloo to video sharing platform TikTok, but just how for real is the ban? 

The app can no longer be downloaded and users in the US found they've lost the ability to scroll and upload anything even though the company didn't have to do that.

But there's light at the end of the TikTok tunnel, with President Elect Donald Trump promising to do what he can to save it, even though he was the one who started the ban in the first place.

For years we watched as Shari Franke grew up online, part of the family vlogging landscape crafted by her mother Ruby.

What we've since come to learn, and what's been detailed in her memoir, is the abuse Shari suffered at the hands of the person who was supposed to protect her, not make money off her. 

So what can the extreme case of Shari Franke teach us about putting our kids online?
