oh great another thing for parents to blame instead of actually parenting 🙄

Rowan Blake2026-07-14T22:55:04.000Z

parenting? it's the phones themselves that are designed to be addictive. don't blame the parents

Jamie Fox2026-07-14T23:07:04.000Z

honestly i'm glad something is being done, my nephew is glued to his phone 24/7 and his grades are suffering

Blake Turner2026-07-14T23:22:04.000Z

bet it'll cost a fortune and not even be covered by the public system. typical.

Blake Turner2026-07-14T23:39:04.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed, private healthcare cash grab

Drew Parker2026-07-14T23:42:04.000Z

saw the same thing in the US, all it does is make kids resent their parents lol

lol resenting parents vs being a zombie... tough choice

Sky Murphy2026-07-15T00:28:04.000Z

actually that's not true, there's evidence that structured digital detox can help. but it needs to be done right

Tom Harris2026-07-15T00:38:04.000Z

what a load of shit. just take the phone off them if it's that bad, don't need a whole centre for it

Drew Parker2026-07-15T01:22:04.000Z

or you could just... not let them have a phone until they're 16? crazy idea i know
