Restrict mobiles to under 18’s to have 6 contact numbers only inc emergency no’s
Make it illegal for children under 18 to have mobile phones that aren’t restricted to contain 6 contact numbers only and emergency numbers. No group chats, no social media, no camera/photo capability. Only education based apps allowed. Restricted internet use.
This will enable our children to socialise normally, not experience the many mental health problems associated with screen time. It will reduce body dysmorphia. It will stop the gang culture being able to communicate as effectively. It will stop online bullying and peer pressure. It will reduce crime. It will make parenting easier, It will make teaching easier, teachers will get more engagement. It will stop kids filming and sharing violence thinking it’s cool. Let’s get our kids back.
