You can have empathy while simultaneously realizing they obviously have no case.
The article quotes an attorney representing the families saying that the videos were “material they can’t turn away from”. Come on, now. Those kids weren’t Clockwork Orange’d. Let’s return to reality.
The typical workarounds involved a trip to the dump to dig up some godforsaken machine, and maybe stopping by the library to burn an iso. Wireless adapter lacks an antenna? No problem, I’ll rig up a coat hanger/paperclip/random piece of wire.
Don’t let your kids hang out with those who have parents you don’t know and don’t trust. It has worked for Christian parents for decades and it worked for my lesbian parents growing up in the conservative south.
scroll up🔼1🧵. I adopted an adult in my polycule.
Want to adopt more.
I am responsible enough to supervise their internet usage, and they know to ask me permission to record themselves online with masks & filters.
No empathy for grieving parents? Maybe I’m just getting old.

Objectively speaking, young and impressionable minds are more susceptible to falling for dark patterns.
All the more reason for parents to be actively involved with their children, especially at those ages.
It doesn’t cost you anything to refrain from using the word “morons” in this context… But I guess that’s just the empathy.
That’s why I didn’t use it.
That was “Mastengwe”. Pay attention to who you’re replying to next time.
That goes for all of the people who upvoted your comment, too. Shameful.
I should have put it differently, but “you” was meant in a general way.
What kind of parents leave their children unsupervised on the internet?
/s? Or you don’t have kids?
There is zero part of growing up that requires access to the internet.
I agree, but unless you don’t let kids have friends, they will have access.
my parents tried many times to revoke my access.

At that point, why do I need to be worried you won’t do a suicide challenge?

Follow your logic. If my guardianship tactics to cease you from doing choking challenges persist, am I to blame for your continued workarounds?
I love more so your implications that atomicbocks even has the privilege of getting them an internet accessible router.

Your parents need to get out of that retirement home and take away your Internet
What kind of helicopter parents snoop on their children?
You call guardianship “snooping”?
Did you lose your guardian’s trust or something?
no empathy for not being good parents. Now they are no longer parents.
Nope. Stupid is as stupid does. This is Darwinism at work.
