    This is an extremely reactionary take. I hear what you are saying but I draw the line as delusional and irresponsible unless you apply that to pretty much all parents that don’t completely smother their children.

    We make mistakes as we grow. We lie. We get hurt. Technology is always Pandora’s box. I’d argue we have better knowledge of our kids now than we ever used to and stats show the world is safer now than it has ever been.

    If you live in fear you will form your decisions from a place of fear.

      This is an extremely reactionary take.

      How the fuck is this Reactionary?

      I recognize a threat and I want to avoid my child being exploited.

      At one point in history, the car was a new form of technology growing in popularity, and we eventually agreed that kids shouldn’t drive.

        Ah yes. A phone is a car. Got it.

        Also, who tf is exploiting kids because they have a phone? Do you also remove all TVs from your house? What about the radio? Can’t have Lady Gaga singing about “poke her face” to my kids! Lol
