Not Your Babysitter Dudes

I saw a report on the news today,
about what Social Media did.
People were yelling and screaming how,
they’re not babysitting our kid.

If you can’t control what your children watch,
while you live with them all day long.
Why are you blaming Social Media ,
when something they might see goes wrong.

If you don’t want them exposed to some things,
that some evil people might say.
Perhaps you should not give them a cell phone,
As a gift for their 5th birthday.

Thank you, Bill. I'm sure I have offended my share of people and will probably do so many more times.

Great points in this one! Social media can only be accessed if parents allow it for the most part!

Thanks, Karen. I tend to stand on my soap box quite often.
