Senior policy analyst at the Independent Women's Forum Kelsey Bolar weighs in on lawmakers' recent push to set a social media age limit.
Host Neil Cavuto raised an important question to Bolar, asking:"How you would enforce something like this on devices within a family?"
"Enforcing this type of law would certainly be where much of the debate would get very heated and complicated. But we do know we don't let children watch R-rated movies. We don't let them access certain types of content online. It's interesting to me that thesehaven't yet figured out a way to limit social media to certain age groups," Bolar answered.
"They seem to be able to do everything, and they also seem to know when it comes to their own children the harmful effects of social media, because we know it's those very people who are banning social media within their own families, with their own children. But then they can't do parents a favor and maybe figure out an easier way for parents to manage this and limit it."Bolar concluded, urging parents nationwide to"step up" before it's too late.
"There's also an important role for parents to step up and not just rely on legislation or government officials' advice. It is really important for parents to take a role in limiting social media access for their young children," she said, Saturday.
