Katie Price in furious new row with ex and risks TikTok ban as she’s slammed for ‘dangerous parenting’ with Bunny, 9
KATIE Price has found herself in a new row with ex Kieran Hayler after letting their daughter Bunny join TikTok again.
The 45-year-old former glamour model’s daughter Bunny Hayler, who is eight years old, was banned from the social media app, due to being under the app's strict age limit.
Users must be 13 to use the platform, 16 to send direct messages and 18 to 'go Live'.
But despite this, Katie has let her daughter join the app once more and “Kieran is furious,” according to a source.
They said: “Kieran is furious as Bunny has been allowed to join TikTok again and is posting videos from inside the Mucky Mansion. He thinks she’s too young and it’s a dangerous move - you never know who is watching on TikTok.”
Katie shares two children with her ex Kieran - Bunny, and a son named Jett.

When contacted, Kieran’s rep said: “Kieran’s primary concern is for the safety of his children - tik tok is not a platform for young children, an age rage is set for a reason - appropriate parental supervision is key in managing this.”
In its guidelines, says: "We are deeply committed to ensuring that TikTok is a safe and positive experience for people under the age of 18 (we refer to them as 'youth' or 'young people'). This starts by being old enough to use TikTok. You must be 13 years and older to have an account. There are additional age limitations based on local law in some regions.
"Youth safety is our priority. We do not allow content that may put young people at risk of exploitation, or psychological, physical, or developmental harm. This includes child sexual abuse material (CSAM), youth abuse, bullying, dangerous activities and challenges, exposure to overtly mature themes, and consumption of alcohol, tobacco, drugs, or regulated substances.
"If we become aware of youth exploitation on our platform, we will ban the account, as well as any other accounts belonging to the person."

Bunny had posted 49 videos, which had been synced across to a YouTube channel, at the time Katie's fans first raised their concerns.
Katie was banned from TikTok in December for violating the app's children's policy.
A source told The Sun at the time: "Katie has been reported for putting Bunny and Jett on TikTok.
"They are both under 13, which violates the social media's policy. Worried fans got in touch and she's now been banned."
One wrote: "This is disgusting she's only 8 she shouldn't be on here."
Another said: "Dangerous and stupid - she needs to delete her account."
A third posted: "Too young - how is Katie allowing her to be on here?"
Parenting specialist outlined the dangers facing children on social media.
She said: "Firstly, the internet is full of strangers and, even if you think you are chatting or interacting with someone you know, you might not be. At age 8, this will be very hard to understand and so will be at risk of impersonators, meaning that children may overshare information and be part of inappropriate conversations.

"Due to social media apps bringing age restrictions, at age 8, it is unlikely that they will see content that is always appropriate for them - it could be harmful or hurtful and totally unreliable, so if they share something they may be getting themselves into a tricky situation.
And lastly, children will be exposed to bullies and people who may want to groom them."
