When 'society' keeps getting worse, the only advocate remaining for the child is the parent.

I agree that those who make these apps are worse than the parents who are too busy to catch/prevent such incidents before they happen, but those sorts of people have been with humanity for a looong time and aren't going anywhere any time soon. I have been somewhat surprised and saddened to see comments suggesting so in this thread turn gray.

I'm not saying we should give up on improving society and trying to eliminate this sort of crap, but this is always what parenting has been about. If you have the attitude that everyone else needs to responsible for preventing these issues and it's okay for parents not to take any of that responsibility, I'm sorry but you are wrong. We need to do both.
