Correction: Just another clinical case of a minor hospitalized for having shitty parents.
 
There's probably so much more to this story that's not being told in order to promulgate their stupid agenda and unmitigated hate for anything they can't gain full control over. I'm perfectly fine with shitting all over consumerism — I do it all the time — but that doesn't mean it shouldn't exist. Like most things in life, moderation is key. If a child is addicted to a glowing screen, that's not the child's fault; it's the parent's fault. Let's not pretend otherwise either.
What likely happens in these situation is that the parents are too involved in doing whatever it is they want to do and the easiest way to keep their child the hell out of their hair is to bestow upon them a glowing screen that can keep their attention perpetually. Then, when the child begins to show signs of what basically amounts to brainwashing or addiction, these same stupid assholes throw their hands up in the air and say, "how can that make such games/movies/social medias/etc." in order to completely absolve themselves. No, you spoiled assholes. It's not the fault of those things, it's your own fault for being such self-obsessed parents who let their children be raised by a glowing screen to begin with. Take come responsibility for your actions, shitheads.
