Charge parents with neglect if they should have been expected to notice and respond to problems. That should be a jailable offense.

Great, send everyone to jail. Overcrowd prisons and put children into care. All because a parent let their child on social media…

I’m more saying the age limit is clumsy here

It isn’t. We have age limits for all kinds of things. How should this be any different?

Social media is completely different though, since parents are in direct control of the devices their kids have access to at home, and what’s available on their home network. Parents have the power to handle this themselves, so they should be expected to do so.

Parents can also control whether children buy alcohol, yet we still have restrictions on children.
