Hahah so expecting parents to parent their children is living in a fantasy world?

Well one way we can solve that is adding a section about internet safety to parenting classes.

At the end of the day the parents are responsible for their children's actions, maybe we should add some consequences for those actions.

Yes it is. As long aa almost anybody can create a life whenever they can/want, we will live in a world where some people will not be effective parents. If you have children you will understand that it takes a lot of time, effort and foresight to be a good parent. It’s intentional and doesn’t just happen. Not everybody is going to or is capable of doing it.

You’re speaking my language now. I totally agree that we need education on parenting whether you’re going to be a parent or not. If you’re willing to go towards restrictions on having children then we’d be on the same page. Nobody wants to do that tho, so this is the alternative.

One of my controversial views is, you should have to get a licence to have a child, like passing a teat to prove you can be a parent. If we have to pass a test to drive a killing machine, they should have to pass a test to not raise a killing machine.

totally agree. the idea to restrict access to social media is out of desperation because nobody wants to put restrictions on creating life.
