    Yeah, “it’s bad parenting” is tantamount to saying “guns don’t kill people, people do”.

    I mean, people do kill people and crap parents do give their kids a phone too early.

    But if you remove easy access to weapons and easy access to powerful computers beaming addictive social cues into children’s retinas 24/7 you definitely have an impact on negative incidents.
