Sara Peters isn't sure her daughter needs a cellphone, but the Jacksonville, Florida, mother of three is considering it because her 12-year-old often walks home from her after-school activities. "I want to see where she is and be able to reach her anytime," said Peters, "but I'm also concerned about who else can see her online." Peters is just one of the countless parents and caregivers around the country debating when to introduce their children to smartphones. And she is one of thousands who have attended the Jacksonville FBI’s "Be Smart With Your Kids' Smartphone" program, which aims to help parents and educators understand potential threats that accompany cellphones and how to prevent online sexual predators and violent extremists from engaging their kids online. The Jacksonville Field Office’s Child Exploitation Task Force and Community Outreach Unit started the outreach effort in 2018 and partner with local school districts to hold these public forums. Peters attended the most recent event on February 15 at Creekside High School near Jacksonville. The FBI partnered with the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office and St. Johns County School District to help parents and caregivers understand the scope of the threat when kids are connected by devices to the rest of the world. Jacksonville FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC) Coult Markovsky told attendees that young people are pursued on virtually every online platform and gaming application by predators and extremist groups who use various tactics to lure children into engaging in inappropriate sexual or violent behavior. In recent years, he said, the FBI has seen a significant increase in sextortion cases, which involve adults coercing minors to create and send sexually explicit images or videos. The adult offender then threatens to release the material unless the victim produces more or provides payment, also known as financially motivated sextortion. In 2022, the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations received over 7,000 reports of online financially motivated sextortion of minors, and the FBI is aware of more than 20 minors who died by suicide after falling victim. "The only thing common among all of our victims is that they had access to the internet," Markovsky told attendees during the recent event. "Sextortion affects children of both genders and crosses all ethnic and socioeconomic groups, and we fear the numbers will just keep growing if we don't do more to stop these online predators in their tracks." 9 "The only thing common among all of our victims is that they had access to the internet."

BOSTON, MA — Thursday, November 16, 2023 — Nearly 9 in 10 U.S. voters support the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) which would adopt responsible safeguards Bipartisan legislation that would require social media platforms to protect kids and teens from online harms has near universal support across the political spectrum, according to a new poll released today by Issue One’s Council for Responsible Social Media and Fairplay. The findings come amid growing calls for lawmakers to put responsible safeguards in place to address the harmful impact of social media on young people after another whistleblower came before Congress to testify that Meta knew its products were hurting kids. In the new poll of U.S. voters, conducted by Hans Kaiser and Associates/Hart Research, 87% of the electorate believes that it is important for the president and Congress to take action to combat the harms being caused by social media platforms. This includes 86% of respondents who voted for former President Trump in the 2020 presidential election, and 88% of voters who supported then-candidate Joe Biden. Nearly all voters (94%) agree that mental health challenges facing children and teens today are a serious problem, and three in four (73%) blame social media and say the platforms have had a negative impact on the mental health of youth over the last 20 years. 2 Further demonstrating the overwhelming public support for congressional action, 86% of voters support the bipartisan Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), which would require social media platforms to protect minors from specific online harms, such as the promotion of eating disorders, suicide, substance abuse, and sexual exploitation. The bill would provide children and parents with new safeguards, require the strongest safety settings by default, and impose penalties on companies whose design features expose children to these types of harms on their platforms. https://socialemotionalpaws.com/blog-post- 1/f/overwhelming-public-support-for-bipartisan-legislation-to-protect Submitting a list from a collection about Esports at all ages because should be never in schools or homes, that industry has promoted with schools missed labeled as education it's just the opposite that has contributes to gamble addiction, mental illness, In my own opinion unrecognized as Federal Violation Child Abuse yet to be enforced as with screen time in schools to violences, blue light causes mental health issues sleep deprivation to myopia, too learning how teaching therapy with empathy activity.

Recent data revealed that the number of school violence cases in Korea has increased from the previous year, despite the comprehensive measures announced by the Ministry of Education to address the problem. According to data obtained by Rep. Jin Sun-mee of the Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) on Sunday, a total of 61,445 cases of school violence were reported last year across elementary, middle and high schools. Despite what the CDC calls “good news” and “positive signs,” the data still shows increases in the percentage of students reporting violence and safety concerns at or on their way to school over the past two years. This includes increases in bullying (15% to 19%) and missing school because of such safety concerns (9% to 13%). https://socialemotionalpaws.com/blog-post-1/f/cdc-finds-early-signs- and https://socialemotionalpaws.com/blog-post-1/f/korea-sees-surge-in-school-violence- despite-education-ministrys Violence, Threats, and Harassment Are Taking a Toll on Teachers, Survey Shows. 4 One-third of teachers experienced at least one incident of verbal harassment or threat of violence from students during the first full pandemic school year, and 14 percent were physically attacked, a new survey finds.

The horrific plight of teenage boys caught in a global sextortion scam was exposed this week. A Nigerian gang, operating through TikTok, used fake social media accounts to pose as attractive women and lure boys into sharing compromising images of themselves. The gang then blackmailed their victims, threatening to circulate these photos unless a ransom was paid. At least three British and 20 American children have been driven to suicide by this disturbing scheme. Sadly, this scandal is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the exploitation of children online. Across the world, millions of boys and girls are being manipulated through social media, drawn into a world of anorexia, hardcore porn, suicide and criminal gangs. Online child sexual abuse has become prolific, and the majority of material now found on the internet is what experts call “self-generated”; in other words, videos and images of children as young as seven filming their own sexual abuse on demand.

Many wa 6 Those who support more regulation point out that energy drinks often contain stimulants such as green tea extract plus other supplements with purported health benefits that have not been extensively studied, particularly in children. They also said that high amounts of caffeine can have an outsize effect on kids. “With kids’ medicines, antibiotics and everything, we dose by weight. So a kid who gets an energy drink, their dose per weight is going to be a lot higher than an adult,” said Dr. Mark Corkins, chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Nutrition. “They’re getting a lot higher dose.” The American Beverage Association, whose members represent 95% of the energy drinks sold in the U.S., said in a statement to NBC News that energy drinks are recognized as safe by food safety agencies around the world. The association added that it has had voluntary guidelines for 10 years that discourage both marketing of energy drinks to children under age 12 and sales of energy drinks in K-12 schools. Are esports bettors a new generation of harmed gamblers? A compare Esports betting is expanding in popularity, yet little is known about who participates in this niche gambling activity. This study aimed to determine whether esports bettors are more vulnerable to harms and problems than gamblers engaged in traditional sports betting. Methods Data were collected from 298 regular esports bettors and 300 sports bettors (who regularly bet on traditional sports, but not esports). These groups were compared on demographics, gambling involvement, problem gambling, and gambling-related harms. Results Compared to sports bettors, esports bettors were more likely to be younger, university- educated, employed (lower income earners), and speak a non-English language at home. Esports bettors gambled on fewer traditional gambling activities in the last 12 months, but compared to sports bettors, gambled more frequently on some activities, were more likely to meet problem gambler criteria (64.8.% vs 17.3%), and experience at least one gambling-related harm (81.9% vs 45.3%). Being an esports bettor significantly predicted greater problem gambling severity and gambling-related harms. More frequent esports skin betting and skin gambling (on games of chance) were significant predictors of gambling problems amongst esports bettors. https://socialemotionalpaws.com/blog-post-1/f/are-esports-bettors-a-new-generation-of- harmed-gamblers-a-compar Evidence shows risks associated with energy drinks in children Published on: 18 January 2024 7 Energy drinks are associated with an increased risk of mental health issues among children and young people, including anxiety, stress, depression, and suicidal thoughts, a new study has found. https://www.ncl.ac.uk/press/articles/latest/2024/01/energydrinksandchildrensmentalhealt h/ American children have quietly become hooked on video ...

View this email online 1 September 3, 2024 A new survey finds middle- and high-schoolers feel much less engaged in school than they did just last year.Klaus Vedfelt/Getty Images Happy Tuesday! (Yeah ... we got thrown off schedule a bit, but we're back!) It’s Cory here, still recuperating from the return to school – not as an education reporter but as the parent of a middle-schooler and a high- schooler who started school last week. The days have been a tizzy of supplies checklists and lunch planning, summer screen time withdrawal and bedtime policing. By the time my wife and I left back-to-school night on Thursday, I felt like I’d been hit by a truck. And a train. And a peloton of large, slow cyclists. You get the idea. Anyway, to celebrate back-to-school season, I’ve got a story about how school-aged members of Gen Z — that’s 12- to 18-year- olds — are feeling about school and the future. According to a new national survey, those feelings are a little worrying. School engagement is down. The middle- and high-schoolers surveyed find school less interesting than they used to, and only about half believe they’re being challenged “in a good way.” The problem is acute for teens who say they don’t want to go to college right out of school. One of the greatest differences between this year and last came in response to the prompt: “In the last seven days, I have learned something interesting at school.” In 2023, 68% said they had. This year, though, among the same students, that number dropped a full 10 points, to 58%. You can read my full story here, including several eye-popping charts from the survey. As always, thank you for subscribing to this email and for reading this far. 2 I appreciate you.

Most community college students plan to get 4-year degrees, but few actually do. After high school, Tyre’k Swanigan enrolled at a community college with plans to transfer later to earn his bachelor’s. At first, he did well. Then, he said he heard from a university recruiter that some of his community college credits might not count toward his degree. “I was like, why am I wasting my time at a two-year community college when I know that I need at least a bachelor’s to do anything that I want to do?” Swanigan eventually withdrew from the community college. And he’s not alone. Community college is often touted as an affordable start for students who want to earn bachelor’s degrees. Yet only 13% of community college students actually go on to earn degrees from four- year institutions within eight years, according to data released by the U.S. Department of Education in 2023.

If you remember being sent home when the school nurse found lice in your hair, you might be surprised at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s current guidelines which states that students can stay in school until the end of the day, then go home for treatment, and return as long as the treatment has begun. Dr. Dawn Nolt, a pediatrician at Oregon Health & Science University Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland, Ore., says that makes sense, because “it takes about four to six weeks for someone to really show and start itching from head lice. And so, you know, once it's detected, it's probably really been there for about a month.” (Ew.) Read more hair. I mean here. Here. — Adam Bearne and A Martínez, heard on NPR’s Morning Edition 3. Campus protests return. College students are trickling back onto campuses for the fall semester just months after protests exploded across the U.S. over Israel's war in Gaza.

The Supreme Court rejects the Biden administration’s plea to restore the SAVE student debt plan. The U.S. Education Department is seeking to provide a faster path to loan cancellation and reduce monthly income-based repayments from 10% to 5% of a borrower's discretionary income. The plan also wouldn't require borrowers to make payments if they earn less than 225% of the federal poverty line — $32,800 a year for a single person. Eight million people were already enrolled in the SAVE program when it was paused by a lower court.

MacArthur Foundation Bullseye is a celebration of the best of arts and culture in public radio form. Host Jesse Thorn sifts the wheat from the chaff to bring you in-depth interviews with the most revered and revolutionary minds in our culture. This week, Thorn interviews arts educator and cartoon legend Lynda Barry. Barry is an associate professor at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. She's written several books on drawings and comics. (I loved her 2020 book Making Comics, and recommend it to anyone starting out in the field.) At the heart of her books is the belief that anybody can draw. Anyone can make comics. The struggle, she says, is putting pen to paper and getting out of your head long enough to make something. On the podcast, Barry talks about her childhood and shares some exercises that will help even the most novice artists. She also explains why people who haven't picked up a drawing tool since childhood make some of the best comic drawings.

Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey said at an afternoon news conference that two of the victims who were killed were students and two were teachers. The suspect was identified as 14-year-old Colt Gray, a student at the school, Hosey said. He was taken into custody alive. The alleged shooter will be charged with murder and "handled" as an adult, Hosey added. The victims have not been publicly identified. The suspect surrendered when he was confronted by responding law enforcement officers, Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith said. Smith disclosed that the alleged gunman was speaking with authorities and that those conversations were "helping with our investigation." FBI Atlanta said on social media Wednesday night that county authorities had interviewed the suspect last year about online threats to commit a school shooting. According to FBI Atlanta, the FBI's National Threat Operations Center found that the posts came from Georgia, and "the FBI's Atlanta Field Office referred the information to the Jackson County Sheriff's Office for action." 2 The sheriff's office interviewed the then-13-year-old boy and his father. The boy said he was not responsible for the threats. The father said he had hunting guns in the house, but that his son did not have "unsupervised access to them," FBI Atlanta said. "Jackson County alerted local schools for continued monitoring of the subject, FBI Atlanta said. "At that time, there was no probable cause for arrest or to take any additional law enforcement action on the local, state, or federal levels." All nine of the hospitalized victims had been shot "in some capacity," Smith said. Updates on their conditions were not immediately provided. Two gunshot victims were taken to Northeast Georgia Medical Center Barrow and one gunshot victim was taken to Northeast Georgia Medical Center Gainesville. All three had injuries that were not considered life-threatening. A spokesperson for Grady Health System, which operates Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, previously said staff had received one gunshot wound patient from the high school. In addition to the wounded, multiple patients came into the hospital system with anxiety symptoms and others experiencing panic attacks, a spokesperson confirmed to CBS News. "This is a very, very fluid investigation," said Smith. "This is going to take multiple days for us to get answers as to what happened and why this happened." Administrators had earlier placed students and faculty on lockdown as reports emerged online of a possible active shooter at the school in Winder, Georgia, which is about 50 miles northeast of Atlanta. Officers were dispatched to the site at approximately 10:23 a.m. EDT, according to the sheriff. The premises were cleared within an hour, the school said, and students started being released to their families.

"I see a kid with a, he had like a big gun," said Coleman, who said the student just started shooting. "I got up, I started running, he started shooting like, like 10 times. He shot at least at least 10 times." Coleman said he dived behind the desk and his teacher got in front of him, "My teacher started barricading the door with desks," he said. After he got up Coleman told WANF he saw, "one of my classmates on the ground bleeding so bad," another girl shot in the leg and a friend shot in the stomach. "I just thank God that I wasn't the one that got hit, you know, like in the midst of all of it happening. I was just thanking God because you know, he had his hands around me and stuff like that because I could have been the one that got here because I was right there. He could have easily got me. But God had his hands around me," said Coleman. There was a heavy police presence seen on the school's property Wednesday morning, WANF reported at around 11 a.m. Aerial footage from the news station showed dozens of ambulances, officers and a medical helicopter gathered in the parking lot and on the green outside of the building. At that time, at least one person had been transferred into the helicopter on a stretcher and students evacuated to the school's stadium, where buses were due to pick them up, according to WANF. Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation were also called to the scene. FBI Atlanta said they were "coordinating with and supporting local law enforcement" in a statement shared just before 12 p.m. on social media. 4 A medevac helicopter lands at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, Sept. 4, 2024, in a screen capture from video footage.WANF-TV Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp addressed the situation in a social media statement released around the same time, saying his office had moved state resources to help with the response to what he described as an "incident at Apalachee High School." "I have directed all available state resources to respond to the incident at Apalachee High School and urge all Georgians to join my family in praying for the safety of those in our classrooms, both in Barrow County and across the state," Kemp said. "We will continue to work with local, state, and federal partners as we gather information and further respond to this situation." President Biden and his administration were aware of the shooting, the White House Press Office said in a statement. "President Biden has been briefed by his Homeland Security Advisor, Liz Sherwood-Randall, on the tragic shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia and his administration will continue coordinating with federal, state, and local officials as we receive more information," the statement said. Some 1,900 students are enrolled at Apalachee High School. Classes begin each day at 8:15 a.m., according to the district calendar. Barrow County schools will be closed for the remainder of the week, the superintendent said. 5 Pat Milton contributed to this report.

The threat was made on Discord, a social media platform popular with video gamers, according to the sheriff's office incident report.

Colin added that he was trying to teach his son about weapons and get him interested in the outdoors in order to 'get him away from those video games.' He showed the officer a picture of Colt with blood smeared on his face and said it was from when the teen shot his first deer, which the father described as the 'best day ever.'
