What is sad is this already can be done, but parents are either not educated in the process of how or don't care enough to.

Unfortunately yes. From my 3rd grade daughter's class she the only one with parental controls turned on on her phone. The amount of time and the things those kids see and do on the internet with unrestricted access at this age is mentally unhealthy and they are just not ready for that. Unfortunately because of that it also means I can't fully prevent her from being exposed to that in the classroom.
