​As a parent, I have bought gadgets for my kids, but I strictly monitor their use. I seldom buy data for them to surf the net not because I can't afford it, but because I know that at their age, they might stumble upon content that isn't appropriate for them.

​Whenever I allow them to use their devices (especially on weekends), I turn on my WiFi and monitor what they watch. Their YouTube accounts are connected to my Gmail, so if they want to access the app, I receive a notification and must personally enter the password. That is what I call parental guidance.

​I often wonder how some parents allow their underage children to use gadgets and the internet freely, especially nowadays when there are so many disturbing things happening online.

I just saw a video that left me heartbroken; as someone who understands what that little girl was saying, I know it represents a failure on the part of the parents or guardians.

​Some parents, in an effort to earn a little money on social media, have turned their families into objects of disgrace. They expose their children in unusual ways to a world where dangerous people prowl every day.

This video really hurts me because, as a parent myself, I could never imagine one of my children being seen online saying such rubbish while I just watched.

​Parents, please while social media can be good, we must thoroughly scrutinise what our children watch.

Even many cartoon channels teach inappropriate things; someone needs to be around to monitor the content.

If you see your child misbehaving in an unusual way, you need to ask them where they learned such behaviour.

​In whatever we do, we shouldn't allow our kids to reach the point where they are confidently saying disgusting things that end up on social media.

I felt compelled to write this because I was so disgusted by the video making the rounds.

​Parents, please guide your children and protect them from vices that could damage their future.

Individuals who are poorly raised, especially those without a grounding in Jesus, often grow into morally compromised adults and, eventually, parents, regardless of gadgets or the digital age.

Technology for children now is a very big issues in moral decadence. If a parent is bad and the child doesn't have something that keeps them company like gadgets and nobody to scrutinse, the result is what I saw online.
