The girl sent explicit images to a user she thought was 12.
Despite not being able to send direct messages on Spotify, the girl was encouraged to create her own playlists, where other Spotify users could edit the title to enable them to message each other, before uploading a 'custom' picture to the cover of the playlist.
The only app the mum allowed her 11-year-old to use without control was Spotify, so she could listen to podcasts before bed. 'I opened the email and lots of them were from Spotify. It said her playlist had been removed for breaching terms and conditions. I thought it was because of the ones she'd been listening to, I didn't realise she'd made them herself.
'I asked her how because you can't message people on Spotify. She told me you make a new playlist and you put your message in the title and they check the playlist and reply.' She also contacted Spotify through the website's live chat function to alert them to what had happened, as well as requesting the pictures of her daughter were removed from the platform.
The mum said the police officer who visited the family home told her she'd never heard of Spotify being used in 'this way.''That's why I am so determined to spread awareness of this,' the mum said.
