Well, they ain’t smart either… Even adults know better but still many end up in situations that are preventable if you have just some small amount of rational thinking. Also… you first need to know it yourself, to be able to educate your kids. Most parents didn’t grow up with TikTok nor do they use it themselves. How to educate your kids about dangers you yourself don’t know or understand?

Kids are like a white paper, experience is what makes a kid “stupid” / “smart” or just to who they are.
But yea, I agree, that many adults have not the education they would need to educate a kid properly. There should in my opinion be support from society (like with government founding) that ensures parents can get educated enough. The society would profit highly from such efforts, I think, as well educated people can look after themself and are less likely generating costs that society (through taxes) has to pay compared to less educated people.

Government can get the similar effect with a ban, without spending a dime. Kids will grow up to be normal people who can actually work, be normal, and pay taxes. Same thing, but cheaper.

Regulation would be way more impactful. If something is illegal anyway, you will still get it, but completely unhinged. I mean setting up a VPN isn’t too hard.
