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 like it.

“Don’t let me hear you ever apologizing to anyone”

THATS THE least of thier problems, its on the parents, and the kids are probably watching right wing influencers on thier non-school hours. as you know its also crucial for RW governments to have access to a pipeline of conservative men, mysogyny plays a big role and attacking education.

Sometimes it is difficult for parents to limit access of their kids to social media, but they surely can control the narrative.

Talk to your kids and mold their opinion on things, can prevent them from falling for the crap online.

That’s how you end up with Fascism

It really wasn’t how we ended up with fascism in the actual instance of fascism so…

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.

Ofc the Jerry likes it

Maybe ppl who are to asinine to look at why parents have no time shouldn’t have the ability to affect policy with out research. But hey shitty dudes marry shitty women and have shitty kids.

its mostly on the parents, a good one usually dont let them have one until there in thier late or mid teens not before. or the parents that WAITED too long to finally start raising thier children, and embarrasing them in public. i had a parent that did that when i was in HS, came to the school often to “moniter” his son, and was making remarks how she cared about his son more than ours, we were thinking "bitch you waited too long to raise him, and waited til he almost graduated in the same semester to FINALLY change him, he already set his mind on doing the bare minimum, you shouldve done that before he was in high school, by the time you reach sophmore and junior its already too late, thats when you are planning college and studying the SAT tests, and career field.

So the country being run by corporate interests, eliminating the stay at home parent, is an excuse for all parents to be technologically ignorant, and negligent of their children’s online activity?

We have age limits for smoking, drinking, driving, etc. and don’t expect only parents to be involved in that protection.

Uh, if a parent gives their kids smokes, booze or car keys before they are of age it is 100% on the parent.

Parenting is the act of instilling values and teaching the ability to reason out whether a behaviour or decision is appropriate. That includes whether or not to drive a car without a license, whether or not to drink when underage and whether or not it is appropriate to tell your teacher to get back in the kitchen.

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.

Their you go. Saying more dumb shit.

Feel free to express your deep understanding of the situation in more than a one-line response.

Why? The information is out there… you clearly have no interest in the truth.

Because I have explained at length, my position, that parents should be held responsible for the raising and actions of their children. You have snapped back with “I know you are but what am I?”

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…
