While I was waiting for my bus one day last week I heard the familiar sound of an online poker machine game I regularly play.
On looking up I was shocked to see the player was a boy aged about eight or nine.
His apparent mother was standing nearby “smoking” in a no smoking area. Sure, impose age limits and regulations on social media platforms but that won’t stop the misuse of these apps by misguided teenagers.
The real regulatory control should be the parents.
Good luck to any government who can alter “the not responsible” parenting of today.
