Children & smartphones

Dear Editor,

Thank you for Glyn Harrison’s wake-up call in the June issue of en, ‘Social media and our children’ on page 15. After clearly sounding the alarm, Glyn concludes by asking: ‘And what are we going to do about it now?’

Here is a response from a parent’s perspective. What should parents do? ‘Deliver those who are drawn toward death, and hold back those stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, “Surely we did not know this,” does not he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, does he not know it?’ (Prov. 24:11-12)
