The ONLY way children have access to the internet* is if an adult buys a device and hands it to them. The vast majority of kids under 14 is not gonna scrape up enough money for a mobile device that they can use to connect to a free hotspot and be online 24/7. Any internet related bad behaviour is 100% the fault of negligent parents who give their children unfiltered access to the murder, rape. racism and bigotry firehose that is the modern internet.
That's it.
My friends with kids all monitor and control internet access very closely. And before you say "BuT tHaTs A lOt Of WoRk" them maybe you should not have kids. It is a decision to make and raise a new conscious mind, if that seems too hard then don't fuckin do it.
*access at school is monitored and hardly equivalent to the hours a day spent scrolling at home.
I don’t think it’s helpful to have called the take stupid, because parents have a role and have a responsibility to be vigilant, but I think blaming ONLY the parents is also too extreme. It’s more like smoking. Kids are resourceful and can get access from friends, trick their parents (especially if they’re not tech savvy) with things like multiple accounts, etc. A lot of the blame lies in the tech companies and there’s a need for better regulation. We have age limits for smoking, drinking, driving, etc. and don’t expect only parents to be involved in that protection. The same should be true for phones/social media.
100 percent. These morons don't read news. Don't know about the parents that work 3 labour intensive. Hard for them to see a different life. Stupid ppl gotta stupid.
me having kids knowing I will not have time to raise them but it's somehow everyone else's fault?
Children are EVERYBODY'S responsibility. Really hope you're not a trump pedo.
Yes, they are, but I can still call someone a bad parent if they have a kid knowing they will have no time to raise them. I can simultaneously believe they are at fault for not raising their kids, and that society should do more for kids...
You're almost there gl
