Time to take responsibility for our kids

Is it the social media’s responsibility to raise our children?

I would tend to think more of the blame falls to absentee parents or the parents who use mobile phones and computers as babysitters.

Let’s stop being a sue-first society and take some responsibility for our action and our children’s actions. Get kids outside and involved in after-school activities. I’ve never heard of organized sports or academic activities causing mental illness.

I’m not dismissing the fact that mental illness is a serious concern. But we need to put an end to the nonsense of filling up the courts with lawsuits when a lot of the issues begin at home.

Taxpayers aren’t paying our solicitors to sue Facebook.

Let make an effort to do better for our kids.
