Maybe lazy parents should stop expecting the iPad/internet to do the parenting?

    And if they want "infrastructural help" perhaps be the change you want to see.

    I have nieces and nephews that were part of the first wave of kids growing up with internet. Had many discussions with siblings and friends about how to handle it.

    As an IT person I, of course, brought technological solutions to them, which pretty much all of them rejected.

    Turned out it was just a modification of anything else requiring adult supervision - just like cooking, mowing the lawn, or even just handling a sharp knife. They taught their kids by supervising until they were competent.

    And I was humbled.

    Clearly you're not a parent. Which of fine, but don't criticize.

    Have you tried talking to your kids and enabling parental controls?
