There is absolutely a question here of what children & young people are actually meant to do with their time, given the lack of free public space open to them & the fact that not everyone has parents willing or able to provide endless enriching activities at home (garden definitely a bonus).

Kids are on their phones too much. I don't know why they don't use the many youth clubs, public swimming pools, community clubs or sports facilities successive governments and skint local authorities have underfunded, closed or sold to property developers.
