As long as child has device with WiFi access all talk about 'not allowing access to internet' is useless.
Free WiFi is everywhere and every time I pass by Walmart, etc. after school is finished I see bunch of kids hanging around, eating junk food and playing with the phones.
So EVERYTHING is available to them: making a bomb, poison, porn, you name it.
Even if child does not have a phone, his/her friend will have it...

Seeing as parents of smut babies get singled out for having 6 babies at the same time while their counterparts that have quintuplets or septuplets are not given a second glance nothing is safe these days when it comes to puritanical values. I suppose we can call them smutuplets and thats perfectly ok?!!😁

So people living in their natural way without influence of prudish "western" culture is smut? Is a woman breast-feeding in the open smut?
I get the "western" adolescent interest in those pics...but it ain't smut.

Can parent be with a child 24/7?
What happens in school during recess? Now even toddlers have mobile phones, not to mention cats and dogs with web pages...
I am SO HAPPY this s..tuff did not exist when I was younger and I had to play with real toys, climb trees, ride a bike, etc.

Some free wifi does have restrictions. I believe you can buy lists of URLs to block from a router. I am sure BC schools would have restrictions. I used to try to use WIFI calling at a USA mall.....it would not let me. And I am sure that kids with house rules would not go where they are not supposed to on free wifi. 🥴
