This is also the fault of gov'ts who don't crack down on businesses and advertisers who target kids.
At this rate unfettered capitalism is gonna kill us all, sooner rather than later.
I guess. But if the parents just explained why doing that is bad and maybe prohibited her from doing it, it would not have gone this badly. Sure the cause is not the parents fault directly. But by their inaction they contributed more than tiktok.
You have no idea how kids work.
I know that doing literally anything is better than inaction when your kid is destroying themselves.
The article does not mention what interventions the parents tried. But no, just doing something is not always better than being patient - especially with kids.
Not in detail, but it actually does:
While younger kids may be reasoned with, teenagers aren't as easy to handle as some say. Puberty is a hell of a drug.
Yeah, banning a kid from doing something 'everyone else is doing' is a sure-fire way to find out if they follow orders.
Hint: 90% won't
Man have you ever worked with kids? They're not some unreasoning automatons that treat "rebel against authority" with the same overriding obedience as "kill all humans". If you explain things to them like rational actors, out of all demograpics, they are by far the most likely to treat what you're saying with reasoned consideration.
Yes they will. Banning them from something is not discussing the pros and cons with them tho.
No sick of that shit. This 100% on her parents. No way a 10 year old was buying all that junk. Government doesn't need to police every goddamm thing.
Darwinsim needs to make a come back. Probably why we have so many stupid fucking people in this world. Because we have to me warnings and Government over reach.
Who ever her Guardians are should have warned her or not provided these products.
Maybe they did warn her, or didn't directly provide the products, kids are a bit more complicated most of the time.
You don't want the government to police advertisements to kids, like we already do with television.
Instead, you think Darwinism should police them with death? Really?
