Need help on an ethics question

[Delilah_Night]

Messages read loud and clear. Apparently, the author in question rarely answers anyone.

Today I walked into my living room to see my 7 year old using her tablet.

Me-"Why do you have that?"

7-"I asked you, but you didn't say anything, so...."

Me-"Not saying anything doesn't mean yes."

I think you understand why this anecdote is apt.
