http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/colorado-dad-wants-state-ban-smartphones-kids-under-13-n774036
Denver-area father of five Tim Farnum says he drafted the Preservation of Natural Childhood initiative after watching his two youngest sons (ages 11 and 13) act like addicts in withdrawal when he tried to limit their smartphone time. Lmao parents should be able to buy their kid's phones whenever they feel that they are ready. That could be when they are under 13. --- Basically the internet: https://youtu.be/M5Yqav2Juis ...

So what really happened was he let the phone do the parenting. --- The most relaxing version of Aquatic Ambiance I've ever heard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl61y1XM7sM ... Copied to Clipboard!

I get sick when I see four year olds with ipads because their parents are too busy regretting their decision to have a child to actually be parents.

While I see his point about "addicts in withdrawal", why does he want a state ban? Isn't he happy with his own home ban? Let people parent their own children.
Liberals will post... I don't think a ban is a good idea just because of how unenforceable it is but if there's a danger to children then I don't see why he shouldn't try to raise awareness on this.Now, this is OK. Warn people about bad stuff, but let them decide if they still want to do it. --- There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of". ... Copied to Clipboard!

Lmao parents should be able to buy their kid's phones whenever they feel that they are ready. That could be when they are under 13. The problem with that is that a lot of parents are complete dumbasses. I'm wondering what kind of studies have been done on children and smart phones. We know that too much TV, even educational TV, is detrimental to children and it seems like a smart phone would be at least as bad. I don't think a ban is a good idea just because of how unenforceable it is but if there's a danger to children then I don't see why he shouldn't try to raise awareness on this. --- #thingsliberalssay ...
