    I don’t get the point. Because their friends are on social media that absolves you from educating your kids?

      No. Kids will do what their peers do. As a parent, I have limited influence – unless I want to do other things that are detrimental in their own way like… confiscate their smartphones & ground them.

        Nonsense. If there is one person that has all the influence, it’s you as a parent.

        confiscate their smartphones & ground them

        Idk why parents think punishing their child is the only thing that works lmaooo.

        How about you learn what your child is doing online and talk about it if it does something it shouldn’t do. Set up a local DNS (like PiHole) and every evening, check what your child is doing. If it accesses sites it shouldn’t access, talk about it. There’s also plenty of software out there that lets you monitor your childs phone usage. Kid is 12 hours a day on tiktok? Install TimeLimit, restrict the time. Done.

        You made the decision you have a child - now take the responsibility and stop relying on the government or companies to educate your children.
