Parental Responsibility

Is that still a thing or has it been removed from active duty by years of giving kids the easy way out?

Responsible parenting is obviously a good thing, but what about those who have parents that are unable or willing to take responsibility and those who simply couldn't care less? Society puts in place laws to try and protect their children too.

Just like the age old BS of "we are restricting your access in the interests of security".

Children can still access pornograpic content if they so wish, and always have been, long before the internet even existed. So yes, it is what it is.

This is one option that society has, it could simply agree with your points and say that it's an issue that cannot be resolved, so do as you please and to hell with the consequences.

Don't we have well paid highly educated people in something called 'social services' to identify children with 'couldn't care less' parents?

On the other side of the coin, parents are aware they could face fines and/or a custodial sentence for clipping their obnoxious miss-behaving brat around the ear, and teachers have no control at school over disruptive little shits in the classroom.

Laws to protect children, that basically give them free reign to do what they want
