Child Online Africa raises alarm over inappropriate media exposure among Ghanaian children

Child Online Africa has expressed deep concern over the growing exposure of Ghanaian children to content and experiences beyond their developmental comprehension and emotional maturity. The advocacy group, in a statement released on Monday, December 29, 2025, highlighted that television programs, social media content, and public events are increasingly exposing minors to mature themes. Executive Director of Child Online Africa, Awo Aidam Amenyah, said the trend “not only undermines children’s innocence but risks normalising harmful behaviours, including potential exposure to exploitation, violence, and substance-related content.”
