Left To Their Own Devices

We gave children the most powerful tools in human history. Then, we left them to their own devices.

Armed with questions and a year to find answers, host Ava Smithing embarks on a cross-continent investigation into a hidden digital world. She meets teens in 12-step programs for social media addiction, young girls wrestling with compulsive porn use, and boys who had been blackmailed by international cybercriminals.

This is a survival story from the front lines of 21st century childhood: where young people are re-writing the playbook for what it means to be human in a hyperconnected world.
