    We allow children to buy and use these devices but it’s the companies who are at fault.

    Like, hey, how about doing your job and making some new legislation?

      I understand what you mean but they are also so ubiquitous it’s hard as a parent to enforce. I try to delete YouTube from our TV’s but it’s nearly impossible. And if you tell kids not to eat the cookies, they are going to find a way to eat the cookies.

        Yes, but we shouldn’t be leaving cookies all over the floor for a toddler.

        They should be put up, in a jar.

        Yeah, it’s way too difficult for parents to handle this. Where I live perhaps roughly 10% of parents even think of this as a problem.
