thank you, @macoolette, for sharing this story.

I guess this is a typical story we can see all over the world these days among hundreds (most likely millions) of children.

"However with how I see things that people seem to build their world virtually, I think it is a distraction to the young ones who get hooked into it."

yeah, it is definitely a distraction for children / teenages. There were a lot of children playing football and other games in the real world in my city on almost every street 15-20 years ago, and these days the streets are almost empty. Children play VR games now. I visited some schools a few years ago, and teenagers were occupied / engaged with their smartphones and other gadgets on the lessons instead of listening to their teachers. But, I must admit, there are some smart teenagers who understand the potential dangers of our gadgets, and learn philosophy instead. I met some teenagers like this.

"Parents and guardians should be relentless in giving pieces of advice against abuse of the technology with the hope that the addict will get to his or her sense soon before irreversible damage is done."

yeah, I don't remember exactly, but there are some physiological reasons that make it harder fo children / teenagers to resist temptations / potential addictions. It is the older people who should help the young ones to use the tech in a rational way.

given that you are the only one who took part in this bounty, you get all the bounty bonuses.
