Comment on ‘It’s so unthinkable’: the parents sexually abused by their children
Vlhvhkctjxrhxv@ani.social 2 weeks agoI assume it’s possible to disable Wi-Fi in your home and still find devices with their own internet access within a certain distance to locate any phones or tablets they might have acquired and brought home
Wi-Fi - just unplug the Wi-Fi router. When I was a teen I had friends who would always disconnect from games at certain times. Their parents would turn off the Wi-Fi and if my friends turned it back on their parents would take it to their bedroom with them.
Phones / Tablets - What child under 16 is on their own phone plan? I would be surprised if the mobile providers don’t have controls where you can turn the data off.
Other people’s Wi-Fi / hotspots - I can’t think of a way to stop this

I could have gotten a tracphone as a kid if I’d really wanted to, I assume motivated kids today could do the same. It’s expensive, but if a kid gets $60 for Christmas, they can afford a prepaid SIM and lots of people give away or sell old smartphones for cheap. Even more leave them somewhere a kid has access to without regularly checking that they’re still there.
