Raise the age of Facebook account holders to 16
The current minimum age for a facebook account holder is 13 but Facebook is full of 18+ content which is totally unsuitable for a 13 year old.
Any safegaurding of children's devices by using content locks etc, no longer exist once a child enters Facebook. Facebook is a haven for pedophiles as well as the ever growing problem of cyber bullying, this could all be stopped by simply raising the age to 16 and having to age verify.

This is the responsibility of Facebook, not the UK Government or Parliament.
