What is corrupting the children this days is the use of internet, even a 7yrs old child owns a smart phone and his free to access the internet not for knowledge acquiring but to enjoy social lives.

Truth is that the internet can rather make and elevate these children. I think it is the carelessness of the parents that makes them have access to sites and social media platforms that they shouldn’t. Parents are meant to constantly supervise what their children are doing on their phone. Best is to limit them to games and learning platforms. For instance YouTube has YouTube for kids, there are limits you can place and the internet wouldn’t spoil a child.

The social media really effluents children a lot, and parents are should be blamed for this because they do not when it is the right time for children to have access to phone. When children have access to phone when they are very young they use it for stuff that will be a problem to them. We all know the disadvantage and the advantage of internet, and children so much enjoy things that will be a problem to them , and I won't blame them because they think they are doing the right thing.

Just yesterday, I took time to watch approximately 2 hours of the senate hearing in which representatives of top social media platforms (Facebook & IG, 𝕏, TikTok, and Snapchat) were being questioned on the impact that their platforms are causing to the young ones in the society. Honestly, I understood the senates’ concerns but I also think that it isn’t just about the social media platforms. Parents have a role to play too. They are supposed to supervise their kids and ensure that they aren’t doing something improper.
