Hold parents responsible for their failures. Suspend kids for their shitty behaviour, this leave parents to scramble to find childcare or forces them to miss work. After enough financial hits they are going to care, at least tangentially, about their children’s behaviour.
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.

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.
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.
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…
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.
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?
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?”
I agree that the parents could pick up some slack but as a society we should make things easier for parents.
In itself while the article is about children but I think at this point it’s clear there’s a large if not larger segment of adults falling for this stuff. e.g. Conservative who despise taxes but they love Trump who with tariffs is taxing the hell out of people.
We’re really talking about children and people who have the mental capacity of children.
Basically all of this misogynistic comes from the Internet, and it’s all on the parents that they gave their kids free access to the Internet.
At this point you vant be THAT naive to think that the internet is a place of rainbows and unicorns.
Kids under 18 need to have obligatory limited access to the Internet with everything monitored. I’m sure I’ll be down voted to hell for this but this is also the single solution to the single problem. No, kids don’t need cellphones in school, or at all of you ask me. Make cell phones have age requirements that only gets excepted in special school classes where kids learn how to use the Internet responsibly.
Also hammer down hard on misogynistic content. Governments can hammer down on copyrighted content, they can hammer down on this too. No, this does not directly include sex kink sites (women go there too), yes, this includes any and all incel and "how to become a real man by being an asshole subs, sites, channels, content creators, etc.
Either way, you can’t just give kids full Internet access and them be completely Pikachu surprised face when these kids see fucked up content.
I’ve been telling this for over twenty years now, maybe someone will finally listen when it’s way too late?

This is a stupid take plz look at similar situations before you get a bandwagon going.

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

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?”
This is a stupid comment, I will not elaborate further why. Look at similar comments before you get a bandwagon going.
That nice alt 👌 gj
I like it.
Ofc the Jerry likes it
How so? I think that’s the perfect solution.
