In the UK, merely viewing or being exposed to harmful content on an app does not normally make a viewer criminally liable, especially children.
Liability arises if someone:
Shares, uploads, or distributes illegal content (e.g. extremist propaganda under the Terrorism Act 2006).
Actively encourages terrorism or hatred (e.g. hate speech under the Public Order Act 1986).
If the children are only passively on the app or monitoring it after reporting to authorities, they are not committing an offence.
Staying on the app intermittently out of concern is not illegal, though parents or authorities might advise them to stop for safety reasons.
As UK law, Children who:
Report harmful or extremist content to authorities,then remain intermittently on the app out of concern, are not criminally or civilly liable just for viewing or monitoring it.
The liability rests with the creators, uploaders, or platform operators of the harmful content.
