    Should we remove gambling and drug access restrictions for youths? After all, parents can just parent around it.

    Like all things, there’s moderation to consider. It’s fine to debate if this is too far, but to simple blame parents for being lazy or unwilling to parent is short sided.

      Ahh, yes, because smartphones are the same as cigarettes, alcohol and gambling. Btw if you think kids aren’t already gambling, you are wrong.

      I wonder when the last time smartphones gave someone cancer or liver psoriasis.

      You can give your kids smartphones and put tons of blocks and restrictions on them. Ya the kids will get around that at some point but that’s the nature of being a kid.
