Exclusive: ‘As a parent and a grandfather, this cuts me to the quick,’ attorney Matt Bergman, who is representing the child’s mother, told The Independent
It wasn’t the chatbot that gave the kid a device with unrestricted internet access, nor it is its responsibility to give the child education. Fuck parents that can’t be bothered with parenting.
Maybe it’s the conditions around her that are making it hard to parent? Not saying she’s innocent, but there is a lot more than “parent chooses not to raise child.”
Why is she choosing to sue the chatbot when her kid isn’t even legally allowed to use it, though? She seems to think it’s other people’s responsibility to monitor her kid’s activities and set boundaries…
Show me an easy, zero tech way to prevent your kid from accessing sites on the internet while having zero cost and not preventing them from finding other sites for school research. I am not saying she is not at fault, but the lack of support for parents is equally there.
The key is zero tech, as in don’t give them the device in the first place. Research devices will be used when a supervisory entity is available to be present during use.
Well, I already got a downvote :P
From what I’ve seen on Lemmy, if someone were to open a medicine cabinet and swallow every pill ignoring insert warnings and disclaimers, the company that made the pills should be held responsible for it.
Unpopular opinion: It’s the mom that should be sued.

How does the parent handle the social osteicization the kid will likely deal with then? It’s more complex than being closed off.
You are asking that like poor kids aren’t already ostracized for not having these things. The problem is giving kids access in the first place.
I know they are, I have experienced exactly this. I don’t think that more kids being ostracized is the right solution here.
Step one. Build trust and educate the dangers of the internet.
Step two. Periodically check in their activities.
Step three. Dont give unrestricted access unless mature enough to handle it.
If your child cant trust you with what they are doing, no amount of tech is going to stop them circumventing monitoring…
I don’t know if it’s that unpopular. From what I’ve seen on Lemmy most will think both parties are in the wrong. Let them both go down
