However, for their own safety, people should try to take steps to keep themselves safe eg on a hot summers night a woman would be ill advised to go for a walk on her own in a secluded spot, but if she did & was subsequently attacked, the attacker is at fault for attacking, not her for wearing a bikini.
A lot of people are calling for those under 14 to not have smartphones, so it's interesting (for the reasons that you gave) that these MP's think that it should relate to those under 16.
