You can't blame the parents, so you need a word for it. It's really sad that some kids get stuck on tablets turning them into zombies when there is basically nothing wrong with them.
A woman I used to be friends with used to do that:
stuff her kid with sugar,
and then she put him on Ritalin for hyperactivity.
I bit my tongue for awhile, but finally I couldn't be around her, anymore.
Ritalin is a serious drug and she treated it like they were Tic Tacs.
She ran her entire life that way:
recklessly create problems,
then seek a band-aid to fix it.
Drove me nuts.
