Parents are concerned that providing their children with a smartphone will open them up to predators, online bullying, social pressure and harmful content.

These same parents will also just shove a smartphone or a tablet in front of their kids faces to shut them up for a while.

Probably mostly not the same ones. Unless they just hate their children.
