    Of all the times I’ve seen this meme, this is the first time I’ve noticed the child’s name. Strairdrac The Netherwatcher. Sounds like a decent fellow.

      The entire thing is fake sadly, however, I’d totally do that with my child if I felt the need to put parental controls on their devices. For now, though, it’s not even an issue (too young for any smart devices) and idk, I grew up without parental controls and I’m fine - I’d say everyone needs to play Runescape and get scammed of their most valuable belongings, it makes skepticism come more naturally.

        My kids are old enough to start using computers and smart devices but young enough that the best thing we can do is limit them to certain sites, so basically they only poke around on pbskids.org and play games or watch shows there. I’m not sure what I’ll do when they start learning to explore more, but we definitely keep a loose eye on what they’re up to whenever they’re on any kind of computer no matter what.

        Only parental controls we use currently is there’s an old phone that the kids sometimes use which I locked down with Google Parental Controls to block most apps, downloaded some kids games (play pass is super good for kids games and can be shared amongst family members so $20/yr for all family members to have access to a ton of paid apps) and time limit them so they can’t spend too much time when we aren’t looking on the phone
