BEST MOMENTS
“It's invaded our lives and we've all become so dependent upon it and it has it's advantages for sure, but it also has a whole host of disadvantages.”
“ I really just couldn't believe how, how under attack our kids are and the parents need to open up their eyes and understand this.”
“It's not about me not trusting my children. I trust my children. I love my children. I want them to grow up and I wanna be their friend. I wanna be their best friend. But the reality is I'm here to be their parent, and I'm here to make sure that they grow up into a responsible adult that doesn't get abused before they get to an age where they can make logical decisions.”
“ They figure stuff out and they're still gonna wanna be rebellious. They're kids. You know, I say all the time, I thank God I didn't have this technology when I was a kid. '”
“ If there's an adult talking online with kids, that's a red flag.”
