Can I ask Ms O'Connor how parents have lost their nerve to a point where it is even possible for children to have access to technology at such a young age and so late at night? Even with the discussions that have gone on at this committee, I worry that we have such a therapeutic-type culture that we do not call out poor parenting for what it is anymore. Do we need to talk about education for parents before their kids go to school? If parents cannot regulate the level of access their children have to a technology that is causing them danger, what the hell can schools do to pick up the pieces? Surely it is too late by the time they get to school.
