The solution is to fix those parents, as you mentioned, who are the sources of the problem.

They are the ones who can set up parental controls on devices, but don't. Or could not give unsupervised screen time to kids, but of course do, because it's convenient.

And of course fixing them would require changing a lot of things, like income inequality and funding a lot of family support programs, and in general shifting a significant chunk of the economy away from dumb shit to education. (By taxing the dumb shit and then using that as income.)

But of course a lot of those current parents don't want this either.
