Is it right to ban children from iPads?

Maria (China)

I have seen other parents buying their children iPads at a young age and then leave them to use it as they please. That I do not agree with. These devices are not babysitters. Nor should they replace parental interaction or rule. I believe it is important, more so than cautioning against the use of technology by young children, to educate parents.
