I'm asking Tim Cook and his team at Apple to make child safety as easy as Apple Pay. The technology already exists for schools and businesses - families just can't access it.

I made an 82-page guide just to help parents set up Apple's Screen Time correctly. That's the problem.

The statistics related to kids having smartphones are alarming:

• Suicide rates for kids 10-14 tripled from 2007-2019

• Child exploitation reports nearly tripled from 2023 to 2024

• 2025 is on track to exceed 1 million child exploitation reports

Apple's Mobile Device Management infrastructure delivers pre-configured, tamper-proof devices to schools and corporations every day. But Apple’s policy restrictions prevent families from accessing the same capability.

The technology exists to protect kids from addictive algorithms and anonymous strangers. We need Apple to make it accessible to families.

Share this if you would like Apple to offer tamper-proof devices to families.
