- An alert has been issued to all UK children over a sextortion epidemic. Police warn that foreign gangs, mostly from West Africa and Southeast Asia, are targeting kids in the UK for blackmail. This comes amid calls to ban mobile phones for children and stop young teens from using social media.
Celia reveals what it was like not having her phone for a week. While she said time away from her phone was good, she believes 'social media can be a good thing.' And, Jonathan Haidt believes that smartphones have ignited a 'wildfire' of anxiety and depression amongst young people around the world, by granting them 'continuous access to social media, online video games, and other internet-based activities.'

Social medias are ruining the kids lives.
Never had any problems contacting my friends as a teen in the 90s guess what we actually talked more
for under 16s and give them just a cellphone no social media just for emergencies. mental health is destroying lives.
Ban them, we did not need them when I was a teenager. In fact, they were not even invented back then when I was a teenager...or the smartphones were in their primitive stages.
Ban kids from having smartphones.. the same kids that have a tablet shoved in their face from tge age of 3/4 because struggling parents need peace.
Good luck with that
Don't ban the phone, ban social media in general
Banning social media is a bad idea
Ban the phone, not social media.
And yet you are here on social media
Social media is a Cancer in society and its causing havoc in our country

No it's not
When my child turn 12 she can have a Nokia 3310 to just make calls and texts, I totally agree. it is the parents responsibility to save their children from their self.
ban smartphones not phones in general
But smartphones are the only phones in this day in ageâŠ
@@thunder-hedge Well, the oldschool phones and flip phones are still usable.
@@thunder-hedge better to have a flip phone for a child than a smartphone
@@thunder-hedge That's not the case. Simpler mobile phones are still available to buy new. I think many older people use them as they don't want apps or many features, just to be able to make calls. I'd like to see them used more for children & teens too.
Let's not pretend as if teens are clamouring to get the newest iPhone on contract themselves.
Parents bear a burden of responsibility for whatever dangers their children face on social media and online.
Its social media that is the problem!
Social media isn't the problem its people that are the problem
I never had a smart phone growing up, mainly cause they didnât exist! i am 32 this year, Iâve experienced bullying in school despite not having social media, plus recently have also experienced bullying by using social media. Predominantly from teenagers taking advantage of people like my self who have a Learning Disability and other issues too
This is the first time that the words Smartphone has been said more than Social media ,
There is no Social media without Smartphone , let's face the fact .
In modern day 2010s .
After the MH17 crash in Ukraine, I saw pictures of deceased passengers that were taken by those who were first at the crash site. Despite being an adult, I couldnât believe what I was seeing. I have spent a fortnight without a phone and I felt happier and sharper than before.
The government shouldn't parent our kids. It's the role of parents.
Ban social media and ban phones. Simple
yes.
Yep.
They are not allowed to use them in many schools they are taken till the end of school a lot of stuff happens outside school
I believe that is the parents responsibility to keep an eye on what their kids are doing out side of school it's not the schools responsibility unless something happens in school
Social media we didn't have it or mobile phones when I was growing up and it wasn't like it is now kids went out and had friends not invisible online unknown friends
With social media it's now far more dangerous
Haidt is a Legend.
Ban, ban ,ban, ban. Welcome to britain.
Should be over 16 to access the Internet
Let them be kids again donât need phones itâs ruined Gen Z letâs learn from that
Just nitties are targeted in the evening
I would say no to banning smart phones altogether, however, like with app banks such as monzo and starling etc, all social media platforms should require you to have legit photo id to prove your age to use the platform, then it gets everyone under age of it.
I think you can put regulations. But to ban entirely is both unrealistic and an overreaction. It's the classic 'in my day we never had this so therefore our generation is better.'
There are benefits that can be drawn from social media. And if the government or really parents were willing to work with social media and phone companies smartphones could be integrated in a healthy way into our lives. They're acting like it's a drug akin to smoking.
It isn't. It's something new and it's the classic thing a lot of people in the older generation do. It's new! Therefore it's evil and will rot kids brains.
Nice topic but will never happen. Social media is way too involved in alot of kids lives to the point I just think some kids will not hand over their phones.
That's what parents are for... to enforce the rules
Hand out fines .that will do it.
If it means avoiding programmes like this then yes.
And yet you are watching...
@@Melanie_Star only to make that comment.if I had a pound every time people comment 'and here you are 'I would be a rich person. Don't you people who say that get bored of it .just a lazy comeback.
@@melgrant7404 Fair enough.
