Parents who let young kids use WhatsApp in South Africa should be held criminally liable

Yeah, pretty sure South African law already allows parents of underage children to be held liable if they are negligent or have not exercised due diligence in the control of their offspring. I would also tentatively support holding parents criminally and civilly liable for the actions of their offspring, but it is unlikely that the law will extend that far. I must also agree that most parents have no idea who their kids really are or what they spend most of their lives doing but is that really the parent's fault or is it in reality the fault of the system that we have allowed, which doesn't give parents the time to be involved in their children's lives. I was lucky to grow up in a world when one parent was at home 24hours a day, very few have that luxury now.

Then when parents actually do parent the system wants to tell them how to parent and what methods to use. But at the same time you are liable for your children's actions. You just can't win anymore.

You know there are some people asking the question of why we haven't achieved anything since the moon landing. It's not that we've lost ambition or that there isn't anything more we're striving for. It's that our society is dying under fascist rule and 'wokeness'. People can call me a prick all they like but I'm tired of people who have nothing to show on their resume and are only known for social media.

Is that where it all stopped for you? Wow.

It's time to go touch some grass.
