Parents have the ultimate say-so of what their kids have access to.

I don’t believe there needs to be a law that says that, no.

If a parent decides their kid is responsible enough to have their own money, then it’s the parents who are to blame if that kid buys “bad” things with that money.

Same thing online. If a parent decides their kid is responsible enough to have unrestricted internet access, then it’s their fault if the kid then goes to a “bad” website.

It’s not the store’s fault. Nor is it the website’s fault.

We have given away far too much of our parental responsibility over to 3rd parties, and now we don’t know how to parent anymore.
