Having a phone, or device, they could locate by GPS is a safeguard a parent may wish to use. I say this as someone who has considered this for an older person.

Both paedophile & hebophiles find social media attractive because they think that they can anonymously obtain sexual gratification by talking sexually to children and/or send & receive pornographic pictures. Some will groom them and attempt to meet them for sex.

If you do a search for videos of paedophile hunter videos you'll see how prolific on this sort of contact is on social media. These groups regularly post 'stings' day after day to highlight their activity and (I assume) to make people think twice about doing it.

Of course, things like cyber flashing can also be done to adults and, whilst this may upset or offend them, it's much more serious when attempts are made to sexualise children.

I'm most definitely not putting the word 'paedophile' into any search engine.

So WhatsApp specifically has nothing to do with any of this?

They find it difficult to form relationships as adults, can turn to alcohol or drugs, or even end their own lives.

People end their lives, all the time, for a variety of reasons that there is limited appetite to investigate or resolve.
