[quote=Anonymous]Even though mine has downtime and app limits, has 360, and plugs it in at night, knowing I can check at anytime, there is still some shocking stuff on there. If I take it without them knowing in advance (fight or bad grade) there is even more. 
What ppl say and do and act online, even as 15yr olds is appalling.

And I sit there and wonder do parents regulate or check their kids phones or social media at all? Or just give them free range and hope their kids aren’t terrible.

Drugs, vaping, bullying, sneaking out to parties at 2am, sex acts, using girls and if they don’t get what they want, ghost them and tell others they did stuff, alcohol, getting high in school, fat shaming, ugly shaming, and using words that would get you removed from school etc…

My kid isn’t close with many of the kids I find stuff on or see on the social medias (snap, tik tok) but I am shocked at how much they say or do.

I talk a lot of what is expected of my son but he is pretty adamant most parents turn a blind eye and do the boys will be boys. He has kept to himself with a close group of 4 friends but is popular I guess based on his sport. I am nervous he will go down this path.

How do you not realize your kid is high on a weekday, or sneaking out at 3am, or drinking on the weekends?

I guess the last few checks have just floored me. Some are my friends kids I have known since they were K students. [/quote]
