iDevices dominate kids’ wish lists this holiday season

Kids’ holiday wish lists used to be so simple. Furby. Tickle Me Elmo. Cup and Ball. Sure, when these items became mega popular parents had to scour the black toy market to fulfill the demands of their little snowflakes, but purchasing these items at retail was relatively inexpensive.

Currently, Facebook’s terms of service do not allow children on their site before age 13. Despite many parents allowing their kids to lie about their [...]
