when I looked at this thread now I remembered that days ago I have seen very strange things in my city, I see children who are only 6 years old and others who are 8 years old having a cell phone and playing games, and these children spend most of their time days playing on the phone and then without a doubt they will start playing games of chance, because these kids on the phone do research and when they search about games for phone they will find games of chance and as they grow they will enter the world of gambling and they will not talk nothing for parents, I think it's a big risk to give a 7-year-old a phone. in the same way that a parent should not take their child to the world of gambling, this is not a good thing.

I do even see as early as 5 years old which it isnt really that surprising in todays era considering that we are on high-technology era where people could easily have access with these things.
This do simply puts up that parenting or guidance does really play such important role on childrens growth.If he get used to into things when he was young or simply
do able to see it on people around him then much sure that he would really be following those steps.

And you know what it is even more infuriating, the people that create those apps and those devices do not let their kids interact with them and even send them to schools in which it is forbidden to use a phone at all, this should tell us what we need to know about how dangerous are those devices to underage people, and yet many parents do not take the time to think about this as they are too busy with their jobs to give any kind of meaningful attention to their kids.

Reality in life nowadays, parents are too busy to make money in hope that they can provide a better future for their kids, materially they can fill that up but mentally they are forgetting the important part of growing up, proper guidance is at risk since the technology is really emerging and many factors are influencing the young minds of his generations.

I like your comment about those who created such app, but the chance that they are not letting their own kids to play or to use the apps, not sure about that statement.
