Because we overprotect. Kids cannot be kids. Kids must live in their own safe bubble these days. It is actually unhealthy for the children and their development.

When I was a kid, I spent most of my time with my grandparents and I was either in their garden or outside in the street with other kids.

I am honestly tired of the "think about the children" motto, or the selling of things in the name of protecting children (which it really does not do and solves nothing, or "solves" a non-issue).



Your comment could be read in favor of or against having a messaging app for kids.


It is not my business, but were it my kid, I would not necessarily mind.

Personally I would rather have the friend over and do the homework together that way instead of using a messaging app. I am old school like that. :)
