I'm surely not the only one that sees this legislation as a complete farce

In my view, your last line sums this issue and action up perfectly.

I'm actually left a lot of the time confused however on just what on earth are Parents doing??
How can THEY not know or SUPERVISE what their children are doing and looking at and searching for.
I'm stunned at the lack of Parent/children relationships.
There's children going to school now not operating proper hygiene of simply cleaning their teeth.
Children are now going to school with inadequate or no breakfast.
Children are left with technology ON THEIR OWN it seems for long periods every day.
With no reference back to their parents and their parents NOT having a clue what they are looking at or engaging with on their devices.
However once something goes really bad or seriously wrong and even losses of life.
Then the Parents are up in arms at anyone or anything else as to how or why it happens.

I honestly think another policy needed is to actually have an education centre, to actually EDUCATE parents on full responsible parenting.
I know what my parents were like as to me, ensuring I did right and what I was doing.
