Exclusive: ‘As a parent and a grandfather, this cuts me to the quick,’ attorney Matt Bergman, who is representing the child’s mother, told The Independent
Why is she choosing to sue the chatbot when her kid isn’t even legally allowed to use it, though? She seems to think it’s other people’s responsibility to monitor her kid’s activities and set boundaries…
Show me an easy, zero tech way to prevent your kid from accessing sites on the internet while having zero cost and not preventing them from finding other sites for school research. I am not saying she is not at fault, but the lack of support for parents is equally there.
The key is zero tech, as in don’t give them the device in the first place. Research devices will be used when a supervisory entity is available to be present during use.

How does the parent handle the social osteicization the kid will likely deal with then? It’s more complex than being closed off.
You are asking that like poor kids aren’t already ostracized for not having these things. The problem is giving kids access in the first place.
I know they are, I have experienced exactly this. I don’t think that more kids being ostracized is the right solution here.
I feel like you are missing the point. Less access won’t lead to more ostracism.
