Today, I saw something that reinforced my radical belief that smartphones should be banned....

Last night, I was in the emergency room due to Status epiliepticus (seizures) The ER nurse was on her phone the entire two hours I was being treated. I wanted to shove here phone somewhere the sun don't while. Believe that!

That's awful and SO irresponsible. I agree with you. Or set a little self-discipline and not be on your phone when you're driving or walking.

If a police officer was there, she probably could have been charged with child endangerment.

I really don't think banning "smartphones", would change the behavior of distracted or negligent care-takers of children. IF that toddler was hit by a car, it would almost surely have been someone with a "smartphone" who called 911.

I am surprised that thd kid did not have a phone and was on it too

I wonder if it classifies as homicide if the child would be ran over and die and someone could witness her mom staring at the screen.

I think it should.

Some people drive irresponsibly (quite a few, in fact)

Should all cars be banned ? 🤨

I am tpying this on a smart phone.
Wouldn't dream of being on it when I'm crossing a busy street with a child.
The phones might be smart, but the people aren't.

smart phones have made people more un-smart sadly.

smartphones are great
there are other options
like abortion

This has nothing to do with smart phones, thats parenting issue where time on screen is more important than their child

People crossing the street and not paying attention to cars......People in restaurants not talking to each other but looking at ...what ??? on their phones. Parents not talking to each other nor paying attention to their kids in Ikea.

Close relative of mine checking the phone to see if it was snowing lol...Just open the fukking door !
