Dear Governor Newsom
Requesting your assistance with screen time, blue light harm defined in this letter prevention, " Screen time for US tweens and teens DOUBLED during the COVID- 19 pandemic to nearly eight hours a day", study finds . Child abuse is current occurring blue light causing injuries to the eyes of children. Mayo Clinic has outline the cause what is child abuse. " The Federal Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act ( CAPTA) ( 42 U. S. C. A.... " Any recent act or failure to act on the part of a parent or caretaker which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation"; or. " An act or failure to act which presents an imminent risk of serious harm." The Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act requires a mandated reporter, which includes a teacher or one of certain other types of school employees, to report whenever he or she, in his or her professional capacity or within the scope of his or her employment, has knowledge of or has observed a child whom the mandated reporter knows or reasonably suspects has been the victim of child abuse or neglect. ..." Mayo clinic defines child abuse as ........ used, . .......... ls
Any act that injures a minor can be considered abuse if it causes a traumatic condition or is " cruel and inhuman." The term " cruel and inhuman" is not specifically defined under California law. But a jury will give the words their ordinary meaning. Ca State Penal Code 273d PC - Child Abuse - California Law & Penalties"
The team - from the University of California, San Francisco; the University of California, Los Angeles; the University of Toronto in Canada; and SRI International - says this increased screen time doesn' t just affect physical health, such as worsening vision, but is also associated with mental health risks.

7 ANY INTENTIONAL HARM OR MISTREATMENT TO A CHILD UNDER 18 YEARS OLD IS CONSIDERED CHILD ABUSE. CHILD ABUSE TAKES MANY FORMS, WHICH OFTEN OCCUR AT THE SAME TIME.
PHYSICAL ABUSE. PHYSICAL CHILD ABUSE OCCURS WHEN A CHILD IS
PURPOSELY PHYSICALLY INJURED OR PUT AT RISK OF HARM BY
ANOTHER PERSON.
SEXUAL ABUSE. SEXUAL CHILD ABUSE IS ANY SEXUAL ACTIVITY WITH
A CHILD, SUCH AS FONDLING, ORAL - GENITAL CONTACT, INTERCOURSE, EXPLOITATION OR EXPOSURE TO CHILD PORNOGRAPHY.
EMOTIONAL ABUSE. EMOTIONAL CHILD ABUSE MEANS INJURING A CHILD' S SELF- ESTEEM OR EMOTIONAL WELL- BEING. IT INCLUDES VERBAL AND EMOTIONAL ASSAULT — SUCH AS CONTINUALLY
BELITTLING OR BERATING A CHILD — AS WELL AS ISOLATING,
IGNORING OR REJECTING A CHILD.
MEDICAL ABUSE. MEDICAL CHILD ABUSE OCCURS WHEN SOMEONE
GIVES FALSE INFORMATION ABOUT ILLNESS IN A CHILD THAT
REQUIRES MEDICAL ATTENTION, PUTTING THE CHILD AT RISK OF INJURY AND UNNECESSARY MEDICAL CARE.
NEGLECT. CHILD NEGLECT IS FAILURE TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE FOOD,
SHELTER, AFFECTION, SUPERVISION, EDUCATION, OR DENTAL OR MEDICAL CARE.
IN MANY CASES, CHILD ABUSE IS DONE BY SOMEONE THE CHILD KNOWS AND TRUSTS — OFTEN A PARENT OR OTHER RELATIVE. IF YOU SUSPECT CHILD ABUSE, REPORT THE ABUSE TO THE PROPER AUTHORITIES.
A CHILD WHO' S BEING ABUSED MAY FEEL GUILTY, ASHAMED OR CONFUSED. HE
OR SHE MAY BE AFRAID TO TELL ANYONE ABOUT THE ABUSE, ESPECIALLY IF THE ABUSER IS A PARENT, OTHER RELATIVE OR FAMILY FRIEND. THAT' S WHY IT' S VITAL TO WATCH FOR RED FLAGS, SUCH AS:
WITHDRAWAL FROM FRIENDS OR USUAL ACTIVITIES
CHANGES IN BEHAVIOR — SUCH AS AGGRESSION, ANGER, HOSTILITY OR HYPERACTIVITY — OR CHANGES IN SCHOOL PERFORMANCE
DEPRESSION, ANXIETY OR UNUSUAL FEARS, OR A SUDDEN LOSS OF
SELF- CONFIDENCE
AN APPARENT LACK OF SUPERVISION
FREQUENT ABSENCES FROM SCHOOL
s
RELUCTANCE TO LEAVE SCHOOL ACTIVITIES, AS IF HE OR SHE DOESN' T
WANT TO GO HOME
ATTEMPTS AT RUNNING AWAY
REBELLIOUS OR DEFIANT BEHAVIOR
SELF - HARM OR ATTEMPTS AT SUICIDE
SPECIFIC SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS DEPEND ON THE TYPE OF ABUSE AND CAN VARY. KEEP IN MIND THAT WARNING SIGNS ARE JUST THAT - WARNING SIGNS. THE PRESENCE OF WARNING SIGNS DOESN' T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A CHILD IS BEING ABUSED.
P H I I.., ABUSE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
UNEXPLAINED INJURIES, SUCH AS BRUISES, FRACTURES OR BURNS
INJURIES THAT DON' T MATCH THE GIVEN EXPLANATION

TAKING FOOD OR MONEY WITHOUT PERMISSION
HIDING FOOD FOR LATER
POOR RECORD OF SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
LACK OF APPROPRIATE ATTENTION FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS OR LACK OF NECESSARY FOLLOW- UP
CARE
SOMETIMES A PARENT' S DEMEANOR OR BEHAVIOR SENDS RED FLAGS ABOUT CHILD ABUSE. WARNING SIGNS INCLUDE A PARENT WHO:
SHOWS LITTLE CONCERN FOR THE CHILD
APPEARS UNABLE TO RECOGNIZE PHYSICAL OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS
IN THE CHILD
BLAMES THE CHILD FOR THE PROBLEMS
CONSISTENTLY BELITTLES OR BERATES THE CHILD, AND DESCRIBES THE CHILD WITH NEGATIVE TERMS, SUCH AS " WORTHLESS" OR " EVIL"
EXPECTS THE CHILD TO PROVIDE HIM OR HER WITH ATTENTION AND
CARE AND SEEMS JEALOUS OF OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS GETTING
ATTENTION FROM THE CHILD
USES HARSH PHYSICAL DISCIPLINE
DEMANDS AN INAPPROPRIATE LEVEL OF PHYSICAL OR ACADEMIC
PERFORMANCE
SEVERELY LIMITS THE CHILD' S CONTACT WITH OTHERS
OFFERS CONFLICTING OR UNCONVINCING EXPLANATIONS FOR A
CHILD' S INJURIES OR NO EXPLANATION AT ALL
CHILD HEALTH EXPERTS CONDEMN THE USE OF VIOLENCE IN ANY FORM, BUT
SOME PEOPLE STILL USE CORPORAL PUNISHMENT, SUCH AS SPANKING, AS A WAY TO DISCIPLINE THEIR CHILDREN. ANY CORPORAL PUNISHMENT MAY LEAVE EMOTIONAL SCARS. PARENTAL BEHAVIORS THAT CAUSE PAIN,
PHYSICAL INJURY OR EMOTIONAL TRAUMA - EVEN WHEN DONE IN THE NAME OF DISCIPLINE - COULD BE CHILD ABUSE.

IF YOU' RE CONCERNED THAT YOUR CHILD OR ANOTHER CHILD HAS BEEN ABUSED, SEEK HELP IMMEDIATELY. DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION, CONTACT 10 THE CHILD' S DOCTOR OR HEALTH CARE PROVIDER, A LOCAL CHILD PROTECTIVE AGENCY, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, OR A 24- HOUR HOTLINE SUCH AS CHILDHELP NATIONAL CHILD ABUSE HOTLINE ( 1- 800- 422- 4453).
IF THE CHILD NEEDS IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION, CALL 911 OR YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY NUMBER.
KEEP IN MIND THAT HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS ARE LEGALLY REQUIRED
TO REPORT ALL SUSPECTED CASES OF CHILD ABUSE TO THE APPROPRIATE COUNTY AUTHORITIES OR THE POLICE.
FACTORS THAT MAY INCREASE A PERSON' S RISK OF BECOMING ABUSIVE INCLUDE:
A HISTORY OF BEING ABUSED OR NEGLECTED AS A CHILD
PHYSICAL OR MENTAL ILLNESS, SUCH AS DEPRESSION OR POST-
TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER ( PTSD)
FAMILY CRISIS OR STRESS, INCLUDING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND
OTHER MARITAL CONFLICTS, OR SINGLE PARENTING
A CHILD IN THE FAMILY WHO IS DEVELOPMENTALLY OR PHYSICALLY
DISABLED
FINANCIAL STRESS, UNEMPLOYMENT OR POVERTY
SOCIAL OR EXTENDED FAMILY ISOLATION
POOR UNDERSTANDING OF CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND PARENTING
SKILLS
ALCOHOL, DRUGS OR OTHER SUBSTANCE ABUSE
SOME CHILDREN OVERCOME THE PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF
CHILD ABUSE, PARTICULARLY THOSE WITH STRONG SOCIAL SUPPORT AND RESILIENCY SKILLS WHO CAN ADAPT AND COPE WITH BAD EXPERIENCES. FOR
MANY OTHERS, HOWEVER, CHILD ABUSE MAY RESULT IN PHYSICAL, BEHAVIORAL, EMOTIONAL OR MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES - EVEN YEARS LATER.
BELOW ARE SOME EXAMPLES.

PREVENTION
YOU CAN TAKE IMPORTANT STEPS TO PROTECT YOUR CHILD FROM
EXPLOITATION AND CHILD ABUSE, AS WELL AS PREVENT CHILD ABUSE IN 12 YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD OR COMMUNITY. THE GOAL IS TO PROVIDE SAFE, STABLE, NURTURING RELATIONSHIPS FOR CHILDREN. FOR EXAMPLE:
OFFER YOUR CHILD LOVE AND ATTENTION. NURTURE YOUR CHILD,
LISTEN AND BE INVOLVED IN HIS OR HER LIFE TO DEVELOP TRUST AND GOOD COMMUNICATION. ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILD TO TELL YOU IF THERE' S A PROBLEM. A SUPPORTIVE FAMILY ENVIRONMENT AND
SOCIAL NETWORKS CAN FOSTER YOUR CHILD' S SELF- ESTEEM AND SENSE OF SELF- WORTH.
DON' T RESPOND IN ANGER. IF YOU FEEL OVERWHELMED OR OUT OF CONTROL, TAKE A BREAK. DON' T TAKE OUT YOUR ANGER ON YOUR CHILD. TALK WITH YOUR DOCTOR OR THERAPIST ABOUT WAYS YOU
CAN LEARN TO COPE WITH STRESS AND BETTER INTERACT WITH YOUR CHILD.
THINK SUPERVISION. DON' T LEAVE A YOUNG CHILD HOME ALONE. IN PUBLIC, KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON YOUR CHILD. VOLUNTEER AT SCHOOL
AND FOR ACTIVITIES TO GET TO KNOW THE ADULTS WHO SPEND TIME WITH YOUR CHILD. WHEN OLD ENOUGH TO GO OUT WITHOUT
SUPERVISION, ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILD TO STAY AWAY FROM
STRANGERS AND TO HANG OUT WITH FRIENDS RATHER THAN BE
ALONE - AND TO TELL YOU WHERE HE OR SHE IS AT ALL TIMES. FIND
OUT WHO' S SUPERVISING YOUR CHILD - FOR EXAMPLE, AT A
SLEEPOVER.
KNOW YOUR CHILD' S CAREGIVERS. CHECK REFERENCES FOR
BABYSITTERS AND OTHER CAREGIVERS. MAKE IRREGULAR, BUT
FREQUENT, UNANNOUNCED VISITS TO OBSERVE WHAT' S HAPPENING.
DON' T ALLOW SUBSTITUTES FOR YOUR USUAL CHILD CARE PROVIDER IF YOU DON' T KNOW THE SUBSTITUTE.
EMPHASIZE WHEN TO SAY NO. MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD UNDERSTANDS
THAT HE OR SHE DOESN' T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING THAT SEEMS SCARY OR UNCOMFORTABLE. ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILD TO LEAVE A
THREATENING OR FRIGHTENING SITUATION IMMEDIATELY AND SEEK HELP FROM A TRUSTED ADULT. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS, ENCOURAGE
YOUR CHILD TO TALK TO YOU OR ANOTHER TRUSTED ADULT ABOUT THE EPISODE. ASSURE YOUR CHILD THAT IT' S OK TO TALK AND THAT HE OR SHE WON' T GET IN TROUBLE.
TEACH YOUR CHILD HOW TO STAY SAFE ONLINE. PUT THE COMPUTER IN A COMMON AREA OF YOUR HOME, NOT THE CHILD' S BEDROOM. USE
THE PARENTAL CONTROLS TO RESTRICT THE TYPES OF WEBSITES
YOUR CHILD CAN VISIT, AND CHECK YOUR CHILD' S PRIVACY SETTINGS 13 ON SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES. CONSIDER IT A RED FLAG IF YOUR CHILD IS SECRETIVE ABOUT ONLINE ACTIVITIES. COVER GROUND RULES, SUCH AS NOT SHARING PERSONAL INFORMATION; NOT
RESPONDING TO INAPPROPRIATE, HURTFUL OR FRIGHTENING
MESSAGES; AND NOT ARRANGING TO MEET AN ONLINE CONTACT IN PERSON WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION. TELL YOUR CHILD TO LET YOU
KNOW IF AN UNKNOWN PERSON MAKES CONTACT THROUGH A SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE. REPORT ONLINE HARASSMENT OR INAPPROPRIATE
SENDERS TO YOUR SERVICE PROVIDER AND LOCAL AUTHORITIES, IF NECESSARY.
REACH OUT. MEET THE FAMILIES IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, INCLUDING PARENTS AND CHILDREN. CONSIDER JOINING A PARENT SUPPORT
GROUP SO THAT YOU HAVE AN APPROPRIATE PLACE TO VENT YOUR FRUSTRATIONS. DEVELOP A NETWORK OF SUPPORTIVE FAMILY AND FRIENDS. IF A FRIEND OR NEIGHBOR SEEMS TO BE STRUGGLING, OFFER TO BABYSIT OR HELP IN ANOTHER WAY.
IF YOU' RE CONCERNED THAT YOU MIGHT ABUSE YOUR CHILD, SEEK HELP IMMEDIATELY. THESE ORGANIZATIONS CAN PROVIDE INFORMATION AND REFERRALS:
CHILDHELP NATIONAL CHILD ABUSE HOTLINE: 1 - 800 - 4 - A - CHILD ( 1- 800- 422- 4453)
PREVENT CHILD ABUSE AMERICA: 1 - 800 - CHILDREN ( 1- 800- 244- 5373)
OR YOU CAN START BY TALKING WITH YOUR FAMILY DOCTOR OR HEALTH CARE PROVIDER. HE OR SHE MAY OFFER A REFERRAL TO A PARENT EDUCATION
CLASS, COUNSELING OR A SUPPORT GROUP FOR PARENTS TO HELP YOU LEARN APPROPRIATE WAYS TO DEAL WITH YOUR ANGER. IF YOU' RE ABUSING ALCOHOL OR DRUGS, ASK YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT TREATMENT OPTIONS.
IF YOU WERE ABUSED AS A CHILD, GET COUNSELING TO ENSURE YOU DON' T
CONTINUE THE ABUSE CYCLE OR TEACH THOSE DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIORS TO YOUR CHILD.
REMEMBER, CHILD ABUSE IS PREVENTABLE - AND OFTEN A SYMPTOM OF A PROBLEM THAT MAY BE TREATABLE. ASK FOR HELP TODAY.

To whom it may concern
Many parents fretted over their children' s screen use during the pandemic with good reason, according to ai_ s_ __ ii ____ Pedi _ tries. UC San Francisco - led researchers found that 12- to 13 - year- old children in the United States doubled their non - school - related screen time to 7. 7 hours a day in May 2020, compared to 3. 8 hours a day before the pandemic. The study also found that children of color and those from lower- income families logged more hours on screens than their white, wealthier peers.
The study found the most common recreational activities were watching or streaming movies, videos and television, followed by gaming.
Spending more time on screens has mental health effects, including more depression and anxiety, said . si__ I____ MD, lead author on the JAMA Pediatrics study and UCSF assistant professor of pediatrics. " As screen time increased, so did adolescents' worry and stress, while their coping abilities declined," Nagata said. " Though social media and video chat can foster social connection and support, we found that most of the adolescents' screen use during the pandemic didn' t serve this purpose."
Screen time lends itself to more sedentary time and
less physical activity, snacking while distracted,
eating in the absence of hunger, and greater exposure
to food advertising.
JASON NAGATA, MD, UCSF ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF PEDIATRICS Excessive screen use in adolescents also is associated with weight gain and binge eating, Nagata noted: " Screen time lends itself to more sedentary time and less physical activity, snacking while distracted, eating in the absence of hunger, and greater exposure to food advertising."
Research conducted before the pandemic found screen time differed by race and income, and the current study saw those trends persist.
We generally found higher screen time in Black and Latino/ a adolescents and in those from lower- income households," Nagata said. " This may be due to structural and systemic factors, such as lack of financial resources to do other kinds of activities or lack of access to safe outdoor spaces." Screen time amounts were self- reported by 5, 412 adolescents ages 12- 13 years who are taking part in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development ( ABCD) longitudinal study. The ABCD study is following nearly 12, 000 preadolescents into their adolescent years, from 2016 to 2026.
