> kids are getting VR headsets and going to a place where there is no parental control because adults don't understand VR or how to join their kids there

Sounds like early social media. Hanging out without parents was the crucial feature.

I’m 34 now and having parents on social media still feels like an odd concept

I had to ask myself why VR was different and it's because there's no screen that a parent can monitor. Once a child puts the glasses on, who knows where they go are where they are? I think parents will demand a screencast feature built in so they can at least watch what their kids are doing.

I don't think parents will demand anything. They will continue to assume that somebody else is making it safe for their children.
