CHILD SAFETY
Let me preface this by saying I'm not a parent and never will be.
I was just out for my walk (which was cut short cos too cold). It happened to be when the kids got let out of school so I saw several girls 11-13 walking home together. They all were looking at phones.
That phone, I considered, is a direct access line to hell, to misogynists, rapists, pedophiles - and that's only to mention presidents and rich men. Who knows who they are talking to or being contacted by? But, just as bad, who knows what views and attitudes they are ingesting regularly, systematically, on a constant basis? As an example, it wasn't old people who killed the trans teen Brianna Ghey. It was teenagers. It was teenagers who had learned to hate.
Would I give my 11-13 year old their own phone? I highly doubt it. What goes in your head has effects and I would not want any child of mine exposed to the sewer before they had grown and developed to a certain ethical and intellectual maturity.
You wouldn't let a person of that age have sex so why let them have access to the sewer?
