Wow, equating a child's coping mechanism and trauma escapes with giving them drugs is a low that's genuinely impressive. And infuriating.

Why? Because to me that is very equatable.

Drugs are an escape from trauma just as well. Social Media is just as addicitve.

Why is it in any way wrong? (You did not call it that way but that seems to be the Message)

which entertainment, games and social interactions via internet that are used to cope are NOT fucking part of

Only If you ignore the science, especially for social media.

And of course you know there are games that and movies and serieses that shouldnt be consumed by kids. I hope we can agreed that kids shouldnt watch Breaking Bad and play something like Postal.

Implying that a phone is inherently damaging

I never said inherently.

and taking it away if it's their coping mechanism / outlet completely from a traumatized child will lead to either estrangement later or suicide earlier.

Probably as likely as suicide when they still have it.

How come suicide rates did not drop since the advent of the phone?

You seem to imply that the phone is spmehow aiding psychological Regeneration (probably with all the Fake News, the constant barrage of negativity, sexialized Advertisement etc. I bet that is curing)

But somehow the rates are as High as the 1930s

So the "escape" and "coping mechanism" does not work as such. The mid 30s need to accept that.
