Re: Online Safety Bill
The problem is that the people drafting and voting on this legislation are still thinking that they are dealing with the content of the top shelf at the local newsagents. 
Idiots.

Re: Online Safety Bill
The situation with excessive use of smartphones also affects children in different ways according to one headmaster who wants to parents to stop using them at the school gates.

There have been numerous occasions where I see our children coming out of class at the end of a school day (or being brought in at the start of the day), excited or relieved to see whoever is picking them up, only to find their adult scrolling at their phone, typing a message or on a phone call and it's sad to see.' the letter said

Re: Online Safety Bill
None of this has anything to do with the "Online Safety Bill". Get back to the topic.

It really is a fully fledged obsession.

Re: Online Safety Bill
TBH I think it up to parent to oversee what their kids get up to online.
There are loads of free apps/programs and support out there, many don't set up kids mode which controls what they can do.
My Sister kids had rules they had to follow and everyday she would ask them for their phone and she would check it.
One day her she couldn't get in to the phone as the password wasn;t recognised, but her daughter said that she changed it as she thought someone saw it and told her what it was, and this was accepted.
At the end of the day parents pay for it so they can take it away.
Even my router allows me to turn of the internet by device/or times.
Perhaps companies should make it simpler for parents.

Your sister had the right idea. In an ideal world all parents would do the same but, unfortunately, they don't and their children need to be protected from paedophiles scammers, trolls etc too.

Not my version of an ideal world by any stretch of the imagination.

Seems like overkill to me, I think they call it helicopter parenting.
