Feel sorry for parents who are struggling to keep up with a crazily fast technology uptake for which they are not prepared but which has many high impact features in their profession, in their spare time, and in their kids' lives.
If you know parents without tech education or a comfortable economic position and lifestyle, try asking them how the deal with all this stuff.

Do you think parents should limit their children's access to porn? In my household we limit social media access no differently. What parent (with Facebook and integrated credit card data) doesn't know what social media is at this point?

Another one would be not to store payment information on Facebook. Even if my child was able to get onto my facebook account, they wouldn't be able to buy anything because I've never stored my payment information on that service.

You are correct, but no chargebacks is a scummy policy that makes Facebook in the wrong here.
The most basic implement to prevent this behavior is for parents to limit their children's access to Facebook. The consequence for that lack of supervision is spent money. Who should we feel sorry for?
