[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It starts because parents give smart phones WAY too early. If your kid has to have a phone, a flip phone is fine. [/quote] Yes, exactly. We have a college girl renting a room in our house, and she does not have a smart phone. She has a laptop that her parents have loaded some extreme parental controls on. There is no NEED for a young person -- or any of us, for that matter -- to get involved with the "social" aspects of internet usage. And there is never a need for getting involved with internet trash, pornography, etc. Unless you have some strange child, they are going to explore these things unless YOU, the parent, prevent it from happening.[/quote]
