Let’s not further isolate our society. Parents should feel free to bring their kids along places so they can still socialise.

Totally agree. And it's not that difficult to find quiet places. I'd like to see more kids out and about be safe and playing, laughing, screaming, whatever, or meeting other people in the company of their parents so they learn about community and communication. So many kids are cooped up with their parents and with gadgets indoors day in and day out.

it's like we want to warehouse the old, warehouse the kids and warehouse precious adults. This is no way to have a healthy community.
