Oh, I'm listening all right, I'm listening to a bunch of people handing out a whole bunch of get-out-of-responsibility-free cards to everyone involved. Kids should NOT be on snapchat unsupervised. They should NOT be getting bullied online in "secret" b/c their parents don't look.
Again, we don't know exactly what went down and we're not really entitled to know For his part, Coleman says his dad was melting down constantly due to untreated mental illness and his mom was essentially a struggling single parent, and I see no reason to disbelieve him

Of course I wish this hadn't happened because parents had acted differently but acting like parents can magically prevent everything a 13- or 14-year-old does gives way too much credit to their agency and way too little to the kid

I did some crazy shit on the internet when I was 13. Kids tend to be more tech savvy than their parents, which makes it easy for them to circumvent most forms of monitoring.

So, let me get this right - it's perfectly fine, and to be expected, for the parents of all of these kids to be *completely oblivious* to what they're doing online? That absolves the parents of all responsibility?
