Family Pushes Social Media Apps To Allow Access For Parental Controls

1. I’m sorry about the loss of this child, however more monitoring is not really a solution. As the video says, young people will simply migrate to other platforms. Making monitoring software more accessible will only make domestic violence perpetrators more capable of monitoring their victims. Whatever positives would come from this proposed change would be quickly offset by the negatives. Adolescence is marked by risk-taking behaviors. Parents should be aware that an authoritarian parenting style is not ideal. Mutual respect is what makes authoritative parenting so beneficial; being an invasive caregiver fails to open up lines of communication and trust that may have allowed this young person to feel more comfortable asking his parents for advice, rather than just participating in risky decision making.

2. Would a parent let their child wander the streets of a city unaccompanied? So why would they ever let them go on social media unaccompanied?

3. Dumb parents, failed at their job.

4. You are about the most detached parents I've ever seen.

5. You mean to tell me that you didn't know there was a problem and that the problem was that you weren't alerted buy a parental control. You failed your son not a f**** app.

6. The other kid has made over 380,000 posts on Snapchat alone?! That's the equivalent of 1 post every 5 minutes for 4 years!!

7. DUMB PARENTS it's their fault. If you didn't let your kids control you and NOT give them a phone to carry. We didn't grow up with a dumbphone, we had PERSONAL Social interaction. Sad world.

8. Little late for that people, LOL GEEZUZ what dumb parents. SIMPLE don't give your kids a dumbphone, THAT IS YOUR PROBLEM, NO APPS BLOCK

9. Who buys drugs from a random stranger? Maybe the parents should do a better job of vetting the kids firends

10. I’m sorry…why was this child buying anything from a stranger online?

11. Internet is a bad neighborhood

12. I am going to say sorry for your loss but your child should never had had a phone I was 19 years old and I got my first phone and I'm 27 years old I never had no social medias until I was 19 parents should be doing this no kids should have a phone till they moved out or the graduated

13. It's 100% the parents fault for their sons death, they should've taught him what illegal drugs can have effect on the body.

14. their son was a drug addict and these parents fail him period. do not blame social media for been incompetent parents.
