Goodafternoon,
WhileI appreciatethe opportunityfor PublicCommentsat theseHearingsandCityCouncilmeetings, it is clearthat this Councildoesnot givethemanyweight.

At the April16 vote, Anaheimresidentsweredeniedadequatetimeto sharetheirviews. Despite promisesby the Councilandlegalobligation, thetwoseparatePublicHearingswerecombinedinto one. Thisreducedby half the timepermittedto speakaboutstreetabandonmentsandthe DisneylandForwardproject. Reviewof the PublicCommentsportionof the meetingshowsnumerous residentsrunningout of timepriorto completingtheirthoughts.

Moreover, someAnaheimresidentsopposedto the projectandto the closureof MagicWay were denieda reasonable opportunityto speakaltogether. TheCityof Anaheimdeviatedfromits past practicesandmadeit physicallyimpossiblefor someto retaintheirplacesin line to speakduring PublicComments. Thisincluded, but wasnot limitedto, failingto reserveseatingfor residentswithin the PublicNoticearea, failingto collectSpeakerCardstherebyforcingresidentsto standin line for hours, andfailingto provideaccommodationsfor thosewithmobilityissues.

Duringthe hearing, testimonyfromthoseopposedto the projectwasnot fairlyconsidered. It was whollydisregardedor, in the caseof the residentcomplaintregardingDeputyCityManagerTed Whiteofferingmisinformationto the public, dismissedwithoutfurtherexamination. Fortherecord, the Cityis still peddlingthis misinformationon publicsites, intentionallymisleadingAnaheimresidents aboutDisneylandForwardplansandthe closureof MagicWay.

MayorAitken, youractionson April16 wereunconscionablefor a publicservant. Whileoneof your constituentswasimploringyoufor supportandunderstanding, youquiteliterallylaughedas you ignoredher. Uponthe releaseof the JL Report, youstated, quote:

Butnowthatthe reporthasbeenconcludedandwehavean outsidesourcethathaslookedat us andhasdocumentedall of thesewrongdoings, I thinkit is timeto lookat ourelection systembecausethe biggestlosersin all of thisare thepeople…We're dilutingourown residents' voteandour ownresidents' voicesby allowingtheseactionsandlobbyistsand thesePACsand \[independentexpenditures\] to justgo unfettered." Do yousee the roleyouhaverecentlyplayedin dilutingyourresidents’ votesandvoices? You, as Mayor, led the CityCouncilin suppressingconstituentspeech. You, alongwiththe othermembersof 1 the CityCouncil, acceptedandadoptedall DisneylandForward-providedstudiesas beingtrueand accurate. Independentappraisals/studieswerenot orderedor completedby the Cityof Anaheimfor verificationof information, in violationof CityPolicy (CouncilPolicy5. 5). Thereis evidencethatthe Cityof Anaheimmayhaveengagedin ex partecommunicationwiththe applicant. Did younot run on a platformof transparency?
TheAnaheimCityCouncilwaswillfullyandgrosslynegligentin theirrespectivedutiesduringtheApril 16thvote. Youactedas uninformeddecision-makers, andfailedin yourdutiesto fairlyrepresentthe peopleof Anaheim. It is mysincerehopethatyou rectifythis tonight.

Sincerely,
StephanieMercadante

DearCouncilPeople:

MynameisAdrianaPerezRosasandIspokelastweekattheCityCouncilMeetingregarding DisneylandForward; I spokeatthemeetingandmademyfeelingsveryclear.abouthowI feltaboutthe project, sowedonotneedtorehashthisissue. Youarewelcometoviewmyparticipationatminute5 with14secondsforyourviewingpleasureandtothinklongandhardaboutthisprojectwhichwe categoricallyreject.

WhatI wanttoaddresshereistheegregiouscontemptanddisrespectshowntotheresidents, homeowners, taxpayersandPEOPLEofAnaheim. TheCouncilkeptthepeopleofAnaheimoutsideof thepublicCityofAnaheimbuilding. Theydidnotensurethatweallhadseats, andthatwewere protectedfromtheelements. TheCityofAnaheim, andtheCouncil, didnotensureADAadherencein supportoftheelderlyandthedisabled. Thatisjustforstarters.

ButwasmostviolatoryofallofourrightsandfreedomsasthepeopleofAnaheim, isthatyouoffensively anddisrespectfullyPACKEDTHEHOUSEwithpro-DisneylandForwardadvocates, whowereNOT residentsofAnaheimandwhohadavestedinterest; thatis, theywerenotimpacteddirectly, unlikeme, bythisbehemoththatyouarecontemplating. TheproDisneylandForwardpeoplewerehotelowners, restaurantowners, employeesofDisneyland, ElectricalandConstructionindustryunionmembers, and avarietyofothercharacterswhohadnefariousandcorruptinterestinthisproject.

I demandthatanothermeetingregardingthisissuetakeplace, whereinyoushowustheproperrespect andprovetousthatyouareindeedPUBLICSERVANTS, whoareheretoserve, pardontheredundancy, thePUBLIC. Andprove, unlikewhatyoushowedinlastweek'scouncilmeeting, thatyouarenot, infact, corruptemployeesofDisneyland, whorespond, nottothePEOPLEofAnaheim, butrather, actasthe servants, indenturedservants, orcorruptanddirtypoliticians, whoareatthebeckandcall, ofamulti billiondollarconglomerate; Disneyland.

Further, thewomanwhorepresentsourDistrict, District4, whosenameIwouldratherforget, walkedout duringvariousinterventions, showingdisrespect, contemptandvomit-inducingarrogance, Shedoes NOTrepresentourdistrict; thatis, shedoesnotrepresentourpeople, ourneighborhood, ourvalues, or ourinterests. Hopefully, shewillbegonewhenwenextvote. Unlesssheusesthedirtycampaignmoney 1 thatshepurportedlyreceivedfromDisneyland, throughtheir "greasingofthepalm" PAC, therebyproving thedisgustingcorruptionandgreedwhichshehasbeenapartyto.

As an Anaheim resident, I urge you to support
Disneyland Forward.

DisneylandForward will pave the way for Disney to
meaningfully invest in the community for decades,
create thousands,, of jobs for local residents, and infuse the City' s general fund with millions in additional tax revenue every year; with no public subsidy. According
to experts, this would include:
8, 960 new construction jobs
4, 584 new jobs during operation
202 million in additional tax
revenue for the city in the first 10 years
alone
DisneylandForward also contains a $ 30 million
commitment to fund affordable housing projects in
Anaheim within the first five years alone - the first
and largest investment in affordable housing for a
non- residential project in the City' s history.

DisneylandForward will pave the way for Disney to

create thousands of jobs for local residents, and infuse the City' s general fund with millions in additional tax revenue every year; with no public subsidy. According

8, 960 new construction jobs
4, 584 new jobs during operation
202 million in additional tax
revenue for the city in the first 10 years

DisneylandForward also contains a $ 30 million

Subject: Disneyland forward approval
To: < publiccomment@anaheim. net>
Cc: Chris Marsh <
To the Anaheim City council,
I am writing to urge the Anaheim City Council to APPROVE the Disneyland Forward project.

After reviewing multiple meetings and reading related materials, I believe the project will bring signicant jobs and revenue to the city of Anaheim for the next few decades by:
1- helping to pay for Anaheim police/ safety
2- helping to resolve homelessness in the City
3- making the resort area a continued world class entertainment venue attracting visitors from the US and international.
4- major selling point for convention groups to come to Anaheim 5- will help keep our property taxes and utilities much less expensive than neighboring cities. 6- maintain a beautiful landscaped and safe resort area for residents and visitors 7- will work to minimize trafc impacts by building additional parking structures, walkways and pedestrian bridges.

I have been a resident of Anaheim for over 30 years, Disney has been a great neighbor.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Dear Mayor Aitken and City Council Members:

On behalf of the Anaheim Police Association, we emphatically express our unwavering support for the DisneylandForward initiative, highlighting its paramount importance in ensuring public safety within our community.

We wholeheartedly endorse DisneylandForward for its potential to significantly enhance public safety and uplift the well- being of our residents. This groundbreaking project presents a unique opportunity to fortify our city by bolstering essential services, addressing crucial needs such as affordable housing, and fostering a sense of security for all.

Theprojected $ 202 million in additional tax revenue over the first decade alone, stemming from DisneylandForward, carries immense promise in providing critical support for vital city services.

These funds will play a pivotal role in empowering first responders to safeguard the well- being of both visitors and residents of Anaheim, reinforcing the foundation of public safety within our community.

We strongly urge the Anaheim City Council to wholeheartedly approve the DisneylandForward initiative, recognizing the myriad benefits it brings to our community, especially in terms of bolstering public safety and enhancing the quality of life for all residents.

Regards,
JoseDuran
President
Anaheim Police Association

We aresurethat Disneywill submitsomeform of "communitysupport" to counter this argument. We respectfullyrequestthatyou look at theoriginsof that communicationand compareparticipantswith thoseopposingtheaction, to determinewho bestrepresentstheviews of your Anaheimconstituents.

All of thesignatureson thehard-copy petition areAnaheimresidents. Most signatureswere collectedwithin blocksof theResort, andthelastfew pageswerethosewho attendedtheOpen thHouseatDTCC onApril 10. TheOpenHouseattendeessignedthepetitionontheirwayoutof theevent, afterhearingthe "outreach" of your professionalstaff andDisney's consultants.

Contrastthatwith thesupportfor Disney. CommentsduringtheEIR reviewperiod, whichended October30, 2023, weresentfrom literally aroundtheworld.

USEOF TAXPAYER- FUNDED RESOURCESTO PROMOTE MISINFORMATION

UPON WHICH THE PUBLIC AND/OR OFFICIALS MUST RELY FOR THE

DECISION-MAKING PROCESS
Our own City staff haveusedtaxpayer-funded resourcesto put out promotional materials that blatantly misinform the peopleof Anaheim about the "benefits" of closingMagic Way. thPromotionalmaterials, includingtheCity websiteinvitationto theApril 10 OpenHouse, continueto claim a benefitof not payingfor maintenanceof thestreetonceit is closed.

Themaintenanceof Magic Way isALREADY AN OBLIGATION OF DISNEY! Magic Way, Clementine, andStreetHotel Circleareall well within theboundariesof the AnaheimResortMaintenanceDistrict, meaningthatthepropertyownerwith frontagealongthe streetpaysfor theupgradedmaintenanceof thelandscaping, lighting, etc. for thosestreets. In eachcaseof thestreetsbeingabandonedby Anaheim, theyarealreadysurroundedby, and maintenancefunded by, Disney.

City staff andCity Councilshouldhaveimmediatelyknown theclaim of benefitto befalse. The ARMD's budgetandpurposearereviewedannuallyin anopenmeetingof theCity Council ( see June2023meetingfor mostrecentdiscussion).

A phonecall with RudyEmamiandTedWhite onMonday, April 8, 2024, confirmed this information, that maintenancefor Magic Wayandtheother streetsbeingconsideredfor abandonmentiscoveredby theARMD. Additionally, Mr Emamiwasunableto find documentationthatMagicWayhadbeenrepavedin knownhistory, andhesharedthatareview of theconditionof thestreetshowedit would not requirerepairfor manyyears. thYet, TWO DAYS later, at the April 10 OpenHouse, Ted White told anotherconstituentthe benefitof closingMagicWaywasto relievethepublicfrom theburdenof maintainingthestreet.

Disney's "public outreach" sharedtheclosureof Magic Way asa "possibility" or "option," while claimingit wasat therequestof localresidents. Disneyhasdistributedmaterialsto local residents continuingto presenttheclosureof Magic Wayas "optional." Yet, attheCity Councilworkshop, City staffinformedtheCouncilthattheclosureof Magic Way wasessentialto Disney's plans.

Disneymisrepresentedthe closureof Magic Way asthe requestof local residents; NeitherDisneynor theCity of Anaheimhavebeenableto produceevidencethat localresidents wantMagicWayclosed. Indeed, thestreetthatis thefocusfor traffic calmingrequestsis Walnut Street. Giventhat Disneyclaims "very few" driversuseMagic Way from Walnut Street, the closureof Magic Way is unlikelyto alleviatetraffic on Walnut Street.

Ironically, it is Disney's deliverytraffic on thesouthernendof WalnutStreetthat appearsto causemuchof thedifficulty, assemi-trucksmakemulti-point turnsthatblocktheentirestreetin bothdirectionsin orderto accesstheonedeliverydrivewayusedfor theentireblockof Disney serviceswithin theWalnut/MagicWay/DisneylandDrive/Katellablock. Thatdisruptionwill only becomeworsewhentheonedrivewaymustalsoacceptincreaseddeliveriesfor a new theme park. NONE of thisconflictwasrecordedin therecentEIR 352, or theGibsonTraffic studies.

What isDisney's true purposein throwing taxpayers off the streetour bondspaid to relocatein Disney's last expansion?
Disneyadmitstheydonothaveaclearplanto developtherealestatearoundMagicWay. In fact, theyarenot buildingon thelandat all, astheyhaveagreedto maintainpedestrianaccess, access for emergencyvehicles, andaccessfor theirown guestsat theeasternendof the streettoenter theparkingstructure. Thislandis notneededastheonly wayto squeezein anewhotel, orother permanent, profitableuseof benefitto DisneyandtheCity of Anaheim.

No, it appearsthereis aconflict point wherepedestriantraffic hasbeencrossingMagic Wayat streetlevel, mid-block, andnotusingthepedestrianbridgeontheeasternendof MagicWay. It appearsto becheaperfor Disneyto buytheblock andcut off local traffic thanbuild another pedestrianbridgeto keeptheir own patronssafe. So, thepeopleof Anaheimareto haveour commutesdestroyedsoDisneycansavemoney? Who doesourCity Council really represent? ClosureofMagicWaypusheslocaltrafficintootherresidential areasnotequippedforthe additional vehicles;
Thereis everyreasonto believetraffic will NOT tumontoBall Roadto accessthefreeway, as claimedin theGibsontraffic reports, but will insteadremainon WalnutStreet, northof Ball Road, to accessthe5 freewayat Lincoln/Manchester.
thDuring the April 10 OpenHouse, RaphaelCobianenteredaconversationon thissubject with severalresidentsandGibsonengineers. Cobianclaimedthat thepresenceof Betsy Ross ElementarySchoolatthenorthendof WalnutStreetactsasadeterrentto cut-throughtraffic, as thedrop-off andpick-up timesmakenavigatingtheroadwaydifficult.

A) DoesMr. Cobiantruly wishto goonrecordrepresentingtheCity of Anaheim using schoolchildrenasa traffic calmingmeasure?
B) ResidentsonWalnutStreetdonotagreewith Mr. Cobian, asinterviewswith themreveal greatdifficulty in gettingout of their driveways, dueto cut-throughtraffic thatthey fear will getworsewhenMagic Way is closed.

C) Duringthatconversation, Mr. CobianalsoclaimedtheCity is alreadyworking with the residentsof WalnutStreetnorthof Ball Road, but oneresidentrepeatedthatatraffic studyby thecity showednoevidencethattraffic calmingwasrequiredfor theroadway, andtheresidentswereleft with theimpressionnothingwould bedone. If thisis nottrue, Mr. Cobianneedsto improvehispublicoutreachabilities.

Notethatif residents' fearscometrueandtheclosureof Magic Way resultsin negativeimpacts to otherresidentialareas, Disneywill not beresponsiblefor resolvingtheconflict, norwill GibsonConsulting. Thepeopleof Anaheimwill beleft to eitherfund mitigationmeasuresor live with theimpactsto qualityof life.
thTheAnaheimCity Councilhasanotherchanceto maketheright decisiononMay 07.

Allow thelivesof yourconstituentsto beinterrupted, with unknown, unstudiedconsequences thatDisneywill not beaccountablefor aftertheseagreementsaresigned.

g. Media Inquiries
Did you know Disney Is asking City Hall to change, or even close, roads we use every day? In the 1990's, Anaheim allowed Disney to reroute and dose public streets that residents had used for generations NOss rDisneylandForward" wants even more of nut public streets , What do they plan to do?
hurled In a 17,000-page document are plans to narrow existing streets around the Resort, back out of past deals Incomplete roads Disney promised and even close some of the streets we use daily to access the freeway! Do you avoid the mess on already-crowded Harbor Tall, and Katelia, by using convenient Magic Way and Disneyland Drive to get to the freeway? Disney's new plan closes Magic Way and all, or portions of, Disneyland Drive between Sall and Katella,
Road closures mean that high-value, taxpayer-nested real estate would be privatized for Disney's profitable one, with no benefit to local residents.

Heavier traffic Impacts alr quality, and further delays our own daily commutes. Most Mall, dosing the streets that intersect the Resort will create an isolated, walled fortress, with Disney turning its back on the community.

Walt! Can Disney closeout . public roads?
Disney can't do this by themselves, but they can persuade elected officials to close the roads our taxes pay for.

Frankly, reliable information about these changes has heen hard to find_ To fact-check Disney and argue against these changes, ordinary Anaheim residents have been sifting through thousands of pages of a massive technical document, crafted by Disney. we were given only 45 days to review, counter misinformation, and comment on Disney's plans.

After expenses, tourism only pays less than 250- of the Anaheim General Fund. As majority taxpayers, why are we so often left out of the discussion when the future of the city we pay for is being decided , Disneyland has hems an integral part of Anaheim since 1955. The growth and expansion of Anaheim's 'economic engine' of tourism should benefit all stakeholders.

Disney's new profits should not come at the expense of our quality of life.

What can we do?
Yes, Disney is a massive corporation but, by standing together, we can make our voices heard. This petition asks Anaheim leaders to consider alternatives that benefit both tourism and taxpayers. Additionally, we call for increased truth and transparency in these dealings
Sign thls petition today: help us save Magic Way and snthee public roads for public benefit, not private profit.

'lam born and raised in Anaheim, before Disneylsnd. I hate the changes that have been msde to my small town. Their crooked, money hungry values have creapt into ruling this city! They must be put on notice that the people of Anaheim will stop their expansion."
Debra Basco Orange CA 92867 US 1/4/2024
"I do not like the fact that Disneyland is able to change the residents lives who live close the Disneyland without regard for the changes they inflict on residence"
Vern Nelson Huntington Beach CA 92647 US 1/5/2024
"THIS IS NOT A "COMPANY TOWN!" Or it shouldn't be. Disney needs to treat its host, the City of Anaheim, with mutual respect, and we hope a majority of our Council and Planning Commission will agree. WHOSE STREETS? OUR STREETS" Lydia stelmar Lakewood CA 90713 US 1/9/2024
"Disneyland has lost that fairytale image it once had...they have become greedy and do not have family values that Walt Disney created! Expanding will only create a dead end street because Disney is and will no longer be a family friendly entertainment haven! This expansion will only create more negative feelings with the Anaheim community!" Lyn Jensen Carson CA 90745 US 1/10/2024 "I believe Anaheim should serve the people of Anaheim, not the corporation of Disneyland." Joseph Felix Anaheim CA 92805 US 1/22/2024
"Because as resident I work and live near Disneyland. This will cause more traffic as I use these routes travel around. Disneyland already has enough of Anaheim."
George Menjivar Anaheim CA 92805 US 1/22/2024
"I grew up in Anaheim my whole life and was affected by gentrification from where I grew up in downtown anaheim. Always have love and support for my city and will do whatever I can help improve it." Andrea Olivares Anaheim CA 92805 US 1/23/2024 "I'm tired of gentrification in the city. I'm tired of giant corporations getting their way." Eber Sanchez Anaheim CA 92805 US 1/23/2024 "Disney is privileged! Because they find Anaheim they belittle the people of Anaheim." Alejandra Anguiano Anaheim CA 92804 US 1/23/2024 "I do not agree with this. This will make getting to and from work difficult" Donald Scott 978 CA 93475 US 1/30/2024
"As someone with family roots in that area and a long connection with matters Disney and Disneyland - the TRUE Disney, not the current money-men who have taken the grand old name into a tailspin - lam absolutely against this plan to turn a town that is home to many into another teat on their cash cow. So are my friends, Disneyland fans and those who were part of the Disney family." M. McDonald Anaheim CA 92804 US 2/7/2024 "Traffic is already bad enough in Anaheim and this will make it worse." TM L Fresno CA 93726 US 2/20/2024
"That's ridiculous for a company to do. I knew they had changed some of the street access, I didn't know it was to that level. They have taken too much from Anaheim, and the politicians have allowed it. Stop, NOW!!!" Joshua Cole Norwalk CA 90650 US 4/7/2024 "I'm a resident on Walnut and am opposed to Disney controlling Magic Way" Kim Estrella Fullerton CA 92833 US 4/10/2024 "We need to save our streets or there will be even more traffic" Joyce Larson Lakewood 90713 US 4/11/2024 "Anaheim traffic and parking is awful, gets worse everyday!! Serve Anaheim resident's first, it's not fair for Disney to control." Joyce Larson Lakewood 90713 US 4/11/2024 "Anaheim traffic and parking is awful, gets worse everyday!! Serve Anaheim resident's first, it's not fair for Disney to control." Kasem Ismael Walnut CA 91789 US 4/14/2024 "We residents use our local streets daily, we don't need traffic worse in this area" Francisco Rosas Anaheim CA 92802 US 4/23/2024
"The egregious corruption and lack of transparency sickens me! And after the charade of a Council Meeting to hear the public's opinion on this behemoth that only benefits the mouse and its multi billionaire's club, it made me even more eager to sign the petition. The "council meeting" was a disgusting display of corruption, greed and complete contempt and disrespect for the REAL people of Anaheim."

1505E17thSt, Suite122, SantaAna, CA92705
1 Good evening Councilmembers and City Mayor,
My name is Angeles Ochoa and I am the Digital Organizer with Orange County Communities Organized for Responsible Development ( OCCORD). I am writing to express my profound disappointment in the recent decision to approve the Disneyland Forward project on April 16th. I strongly believe that this decision must be appealed due to the circumstances surrounding it, which did not uphold a fair and transparent democratic process. Additionally, I want to stress the importance of a rehearing.

Many residents remain opposed to this proposal due to the lack of sufficient information and their awareness of the numerous negative impacts it will have on their community. Unfortunately, on the day of the vote, the public comment section was influenced by Disney lobbyists, who arrived at City Hall well before 3 pm. Their early arrival effectively blocked many residents from entering the City Council Chambers, where they hoped to voice their concerns.

The logistics of the public comment process were also marred by confusion and discouragement.

City Hall staff made it difficult for residents to obtain speaker cards, and police presence around City Hall was unnecessarily hostile towards community members who showed up to express their views– unlike the treatment towards Disney lobbyists who were even escorted by the police. 15 community residents organized by OCCORD, many of whom reside on Walnut St, a community who is being displaced due to redevelopment projects such as Disneyland Forward, showed up to voice their opposition. Only ONE of them was able to give public comment, as many were placed at the end of the queue, only to be called close to 11 pm, when they had already left. Unlike Disney lobbyists and business owners, these residents do not have the privilege to stay late hours at City Hall. It' s concerning how the queue system worked that night, as numerous individuals who arrived after our community residents and submitted public comment cards were called before them, which didn' t seem fair at all.

It is particularly disheartening to note the overwhelming support for the Disneyland Forward Proposal from business owners and middle- class residents, while working- class residents, who will be most affected by the project' s problems, weren't heard that night. The subsequent 7-0 vote in favor of the project by the City Council does not accurately reflect the sentiments of the Anaheim working class community. Had the vote been based on transparent and fair public comment, it would have been evident that the majority of actual Anaheim residents present were against making a decision that night, in contrast to the paid Disney lobbyists who advocated for approval.

I urge you, as our elected representatives, to appeal the vote on the Disneyland Forward project and to ensure that the voices of all Anaheim residents are heard and considered in future deliberations.

Sincerely,
Angeles Ochoa

3 Education Code 51925: Mental Health Instruction
Expansion Education Plan
California Department of Education
Office of School-Based Health Programs
Please note: This plan includes references to statutes and best practices. This Plan itself is non-binding and does not have the effect of law. Instead, any legal obligations are set forth in the applicable statutes. The California Department of Education ("COE') recommends that readers contact their legal counsel with questions regarding the application of law to a particular set of facts.

Senate Bill (SB) 224 (External Link) was signed into law in October 2021 and was enacted in an effort to "ensure to that all California pupils in grades 1 to 12, inclusive, have the opportunity to benefit from a comprehensive mental health education." As part of SB 244, California Education Code Section 51925 was codified and states that "[e]ach school district, county office of education, state special school, and charter school that offers one or more courses in health education to pupils in middle school or high school shall include in those courses instruction in mental health that meets the requirements of [Article 6- Mandatory Mental Health Education].... This instruction shall include all of the following:
• Reasonably designed instruction on the overarching themes and core principles of mental health.
• Defining signs and symptoms of common mental health challenges. Depending on pupil age and developmental level, this may include defining conditions such as depression, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, and anxiety, including post-traumatic stress disorder. • Elucidating the evidence-based services and supports that effectively help individuals manage mental health challenges.
• Promoting mental health wellness and protective factors, which include positive development, social and cultural connectedness and supportive relationships, resiliency, problem solving skills, coping skills, self-esteem, and a positive school and home environment in which pupils feel comfortable.
• The ability to identify warning signs of common mental health problems in order to promote awareness and early intervention so that pupils know to take action before a situation turns into a crisis. This shall include instruction on both of the following:
o How to seek and find assistance from professionals and services within the school district that includes, but is not limited to, school counselors with a pupil personnel services credential, school psychologists, and school social workers, and in the community for themselves and others. o Evidence-based and culturally responsive practices that are proven to help overcome mental health challenges.
1 • The connection and importance of mental health to overall health and academic success and to co-occurring conditions, such as chronic physical conditions, chemical dependence, and substance abuse.
• Awareness and appreciation about the prevalence of mental health challenges across all populations, races, ethnicities, and socioeconomic statuses, including the impact of race, ethnicity, and culture on the experience and treatment of mental health challenges.
• Stigma surrounding mental health challenges and what can be done to overcome stigma, increase awareness, and promote acceptance. This shall include, to the extent possible, classroom presentations of narratives by trained peers and other individuals who have experienced mental health challenges and how they coped with their situations, including how they sought help and acceptance." This Mental Health Education Expansion Plan, created per California Education Code 51929, aims to help LEAs:

Understand that mental health education is a universal support and a part of California Health Education
Identify resources to analyze, expand, and enhance current mental health education efforts, including scope and sequence, instructional strategies, instructional materials, and professional development opportunities Make a plan to enhance and expand their mental health education to address the well-being of students in an effort to ensure all students thrive in a safe and supportive learning environment.

Background:

According to CaliforniaHealthEducation.org (developed by the Orange County Office of Education in partnership with the CDE) 1:
• The youth mental health crisis was intensified as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The American Academy of Pediatrics (APA) declared a national emergency in child and adolescent mental health, noting that "emotional and behavioral health challenges were of growing concern before the COVID-19 pandemic, and the public health emergency has only exacerbated these challenges." Additionally, in December 2021, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy issued a public health advisory highlighting the urgent need to address iThe Budget Act of 2017 (Assembly Bill 97) allocated funds to provide professional development and resources for the implementation of the new Health Education Framework. The CDE selected the Orange County Department of Education to facilitate the California Health Education Framework Rollout Project.

Additional information may be found here: About the Project - (California Health Education). 2 the nation's youth mental health crisis, calling our obligation not just medical, but moral.
• In addition to traditional medical model interventions, increasing mental health literacy among students is critical to building knowledge and skills that protect their health and support them in developing lifelong health enhancing behaviors. • Mental health education is one of the best ways to increase awareness and encourage self-help seeking behavior, while simultaneously reducing the stigma associated with mental health challenges. Since students spend more hours at school than at home, the California public education system is the most efficient and effective setting for providing this education to all youth. Schools are, indeed, ideally positioned to provide not only mental health support, but also education.

For more information, please visit the CA Health Education Framework's Mental Health Education web page.

Call to Action: What Can LEAs Do?
Ways LEAs can move to action include the following:
o Assess if and how your schools are providing mental health education as a universal support for students (for example, as part of a health education course or integrated in other subjects). Pertinent inquiry may include:
o How is health content integrated into and/or taught in the classrooms, including mental health education? Who has access to the education (grade levels or student groups) and when (during the school year, summer school, or online independent study)? -Use data and engage members of the school community, including students, educators, parents/guardians, and community partners to determine the instructional delivery model 2 (External Link) that best meets the needs of students.
o Review health education content standards and instructional materials, if offered, to determine alignment with mental health education requirements per Ed. Code 51925 (External Link) and other health education requirements (External Link). o Collaborate with your county office of education, community-based and non-profit organizations, and local health department to provide professional learning for health teachers and other educators teaching mental health education to build their capacity for providing skill-based mental health education that is trauma- informed and affirming for students.
o Evaluate your current efforts and create a plan to expand student access to mental health education in coordination with other frameworks and initiatives, including Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI) (External Link), 2 as provided by CaliforniaHealthEducation.ord
3 Community Schools, California's Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS), and others.

Mental Health Education is Part of California Health Education:

The Health Education Content Standards for California Public Schools, Kindergarten Through Grade Twelve (External Link) provides guidance on the essential skills and knowledge that students should have at each grade level. Local educators are encouraged to apply these standards when developing curricular and instructional strategies for health education and other interdisciplinary subjects to ensure high quality health education that promotes health literacy 3 (External Link).

According to the 2019 Health Education Framework for California Public Schools, Kindergarten Through Grade Twelve (External Link), which is guided by the health education standards, health literate students can understand basic health information, directions, and services needed to make informed personal health decisions which may also contribute to healthier communities. Health-literate and health-informed students are:
• Critical thinkers and problem solvers when confronting health issues • Self-directed learners who have the competence and skills to use basic health information and services in health-enhancing ways
• Effective communicators who organize and convey beliefs, ideas, and information about health issues, translating their knowledge to applied practices • Responsible and productive citizens who help ensure that their community is kept healthy, safe, and secure
For more information, please see the CA Health Education's Health Literacy PDF. 3 provided by CaliforniaHealthEducation.ord
4 According to CaliforniaHealthEducation.org , California Health Education includes six content areas 4:

Nutrition and Growth, Injury Prevention Alcohol, Tobacco, Mental, Personal and Physical Activity Development, and and Safety and Other Drugs Emotional, and Community Sexual Health Social Health Health
Comprehensive health education can advance the physical, mental, and social emotional well-being of students. While Mental, Emotional, Social Health education is included as one of the six standalone content areas, it also links to other content in health education as a part of substance use prevention, healthy eating and physical activity, healthy relationships and body image, violence prevention, personal health, and seeking health services.

The table below 5 summarizes the minimum recommended grade-level assignments for each of the six content areas. Mental, Emotional, and Social Health standards are included in Kindergarten, Grades 2, 3, and 6, Middle, and High School.

Unplug: Oneof myfavoritethingsyoucandois plana “device-freedinner.” It’s not complicated. It’s exactlywhatit says: anhourarounda tablewithoutanythingthat hasanonor off switch. CommonSenseMediahasprovidedgreatresourcesandis turningthis simpleconceptinto a movement. Wedon’t allowcellphonesat the dinnertable, andin myexperience, they’re right whentheypromise “amazing conversation.”
HaveToughConversations: Oneof thethingsthat’s likely to comeupin conversationwith yourkidsis the Netflixshow “13ReasonsWhy.” Thehypemay havesubsideda little bit sincethe beginningof the summer, but it’s still a hot topic. Everyparenthasto decidefor themselveswhethertheywill let their childrenwatchand, if so, underwhatconditions.

AndI always makesureto tell peopleaboutCrisisTextLine, anamazingcrisiscounseling servicethat providesfree, 24/7 supportandresourcesviatext message.

Advocatefor yourkids: Withmyoldestdaughterin collegeandmysonenteringhis last yearof highschool, I’vestartedthinkingabouthowsmartphonesandsocial mediachangethe dynamicsof collegecampuses. Manycollegessimplydon’t have the resourcesavailableto copewith the mentalhealthneedsof their students.

Makea Plan: Lastly, I highlyencourageyouto try out the AmericanAcademyof Pediatrics’ FamilyMediaPlan. Thissite walksyoustep-by-stepthrougha process of beingintentionalabouthowyourfamilyconsumesmedia. Thegreatthingis that it’s not onesizefits all. It helpsyoubuilda uniqueplanfor yourfamily.

TheInternetis a wonderfulthing. It giveskids the freedomto movearoundin a big world, to experiment, to connectwith others. Asa parent, though, I knowthat 3 I amresponsiblefor makingsurethat my kids arereadyfor all that freedom — andthat theyknowhowto keepthemselvessafe. Here’s to stayingontop of all the changessocial mediais bringingto ourkids’ lives, so that we cancontinueto guideandsupportthemin this fast-changingworld.

It’s obviouslythephones,” zillennial writer MagdaleneTaylortweeted, semi-virally, attachingthat infamous “teenstoday aren’t hangingout” graph. Hostsof two podcastsenjoyedbyVeryOnlineleft-ish millennials, TrueAnonandTimeto SayGoodbye, devotedepisodesto making freewheelingargumentsagainstthe useof socialmediabykids.

Tyler! Atake!) Atrendpiecein the DailyBeastuncoveredintervieweesfromGenZ who saidthat whentheyhadkids, theycertainlywouldn’t beletting thembe “raisedby” iPads. “Getoffline. It is not alcohol, it is not porn, it is not weed, it is not blahblah, it is beingonline. Getoffline,” wrotea Reddituseron
Notsolongago, the defaultposition, if onewereaninternet-savvyolderperson beginningto feelqueasywhennoticinggroupsof kidsbentovertheir phones, wasto say to oneself, “Well, that’s life; once, Socratesfearedprint’s effect onmemory, andnow, I fearthis.” Onedefinitelydidn’t sayout loud, online, “Thekidsshouldn’t havephones,” unlessonewerewriting for the Atlantic. A weary “it hasalwaysbeenthus” posetoward the topic wasin order—television, Walkmans, rockmusic, the youthsarealwaysupto somethingthe adultsthink is stupid. Someof the resistanceto wagginga fingerat kids andphoneswasa totally fair allergyto generationalanalysis; anotherpartof it was probablyself-defense.

Someof usreallydon’t like ourscreentime habitscriticized,” Taylorwrotein a follow- upSubstackanalyzingtherepliesto herrecent “it’s thephones” provocationonX.

Othersmaythink theyappearsmarterbyhighlightingotherissues, that theycansee abovethe frayandobservethe macrotrendsthat arereallyshapingourlives, notthat stupidanti-phonerhetoricwehearfromthe Boomers.” It’s not the phones; it’s the lack of third spaces, the omnipresentcar culture, the inequality. Thatdefensivepose? I knowit well, becauseI wasadeptat it— in 2019I describedconcernoverteensandsocialmedia as “alarmist.”
Thingsaredifferentin 2024. Yes, wehavenewdataonthe shapeof the mental-health crisisamongteens, andespeciallyteenagegirls, andhowit’s worsenedsincephonesgot front-facingcamerasandplatformsbecamedominant. Butthe biggestshift doesn’t come fromlookingat newdata; it’s fromexperience. Moreandmorepeoplehavea boomer 5 relativewhowasradicalizedonFacebook, a grandmawhowon’t lookupfromherphone duringfamilyvisits, or a GenX partneradeptat the art of phubbing.

We, whoaresupposedto enjoygrown-adultlevelsof impulsecontrol, havehadtrouble sleepingdueto doomscrolling, spentZoommeetingslookingat Instagram, or gotteninto weirdfightswith strangersonRedditthat derailedusemotionallyforfar too long. We, ourselves, with ourdevelopedbrains, havefelt like flies onsticky paperwhenit comes to socialmedia; of course, children, still formingtheir selvesandnavigatingthe pitfalls of pre-adulthood, maybeaffectedbyit too. “Kidsprobablyshouldn’t havesmartphones” haslost its generationalsting. It hascometo lookmoreandmorelike commonsense.

Into this apparentlypromisingmomentcomessocialpsychologistJonathanHaidt’s new book, TheAnxiousGeneration: Howthe GreatRewiringof ChildhoodCausedanEpidemic of MentalIllness. Its compactthesis: We’veoverprotectedkidsIRLandunderprotected themonline. In the book’s first chapters, Haidtrearticulatesa veryfamiliarset of argumentsaboutAmericankids’ lack of physicalfreedom. Playgroundsusedto bemore dangerous! Kidsusedto roamthe woods! Whyis everyonealwaysat scheduledactivities runbyadults?
Thekidsneverget a bruiseor bump, andhowwill theylearnto self-regulatethis way? Noneof this will benewto anyonewho’s keptupwith popularparentingbooksin the pastfew decades. Haidt’s innovationlies in connectingthis now-well-articulatedpicture of overprotectedchildhoodwith whathappenswhenthosesamekidsget onphones. The AnxiousGeneration, hehopes, will bepartof a largercollectivemovement, oneheis activelytryingto incite bypublishinga companionwebsitefull of evidence, discussion guides, andsamplepetitions, andfundingbillboardsandpublicart in majorcities.

Agovernmentwebsiteprovidesresearchonsocialmediaandadvicefor parentswhoare navigatingsocialmediausewith theirchildren.

Thiscampaignis goingto helpourparentsunderstandwhat's behindthesemasksthat thesekidsarewearing," saidAimeeWinderNewton, senioradviserto thegovernorand directorof theOfficeof Families.

Weneedparentsto understandthat this is somethingthat theirkidsarestrugglingwith," shecontinued. "Butthebiggestthingthat wewant, too, is to emphasizehuman connection. Yousee, at theendof thevideo, theparenttakingthephone (and) putting theirarmaroundthechild. Wewantto emphasizehumanconnectionasa pieceof that, 2 that weall shoulddoa betterjobputtingourphonesdownandconnectingwith each other."
Coxstressedthat socialmediahasnotedbenefitsandthegoalof thecampaignis to educateandassistparents, notpreventsocialmediauseentirely. That's theexpressed purposeof a pairof first-in-the-nationsocialmediaregulationsthegovernorsignedinto lawthis spring.

Onelawrequiressocialmediacompaniesto getparentalconsentbeforeallowingminors ontheirplatforms, verifytheagesof all usersin thestateandtreatminoraccounts differentlyfromadultaccountsbylimitingtheirappearancein searchresults, enabling parentalcontrolsfor theirchildren's accountsandpreventingthecollectionof minors' dataor targetingadvertisingtowardthem.

Anotherlawmakesit easierfor parentsto suecompaniesoverallegedharmstheir childrensufferasa resultof usingsocialmedia, andprohibitsalgorithmsor otherfeatures that a companyknowsto causea minorto becomeaddictedto socialmedia.

We're nottryingto completelyremovesocialmediafromourkids' lives. We'retryingto teachthemhealthyhabits," Coxsaid.

Lawmakerscouldhavepreventedyouthfromusingsocialmediaentirely — andconsidered banningkidsundertheageof 16fromsigningup — butinsteadoptedforregulationsthat makeit easierfor parentswithouteliminatingthebenefitsfor somekids, thegovernor added.

Avastmajorityof youthaged13- 17useat leastonesocialmediaplatform, anda surveyof eighthand10thgradersfoundthat theaveragetimespentonsocialmediais 3. 5hoursa day. Teensareregularlyexposedto hatefulcontentonsocialmedia, andsocialmediais alsolinkedto problemswith sleepandattention.

Thisis thechallengeof ourtime," hesaid. "Evenparentswhoaredoingeverythingright areseeingincredibledamage."
Butregulationsandinformationcampaignsaren't theonlystrategiesthegovernorhasto helpkids. Coxhasrepeatedlypromisedto suesocialmediacompaniesoverthealleged harmtheirplatformshavedoneto kids, likeningthemto thetobaccocompaniesthat misledconsumersaboutlungcancerandotherrisksof smoking.

Yes, therewill be," hesaid, whenaskedaboutadditionallawsuits. "Now, obviously, we're in theearlyprocessesof informationgathering, butI feelveryconfidentandI can't say morethanthat."

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. Students' recreationalscreentime has likely increasedsubstantially during the COVIDpandemic.

2. Despitecorrelational evidencepointing to adverseeffects, more research needsto be conducted to determinethe causaleffect of digital mediaon anxiety and depression.

3. Manyeducators, however, seethe effect on their students. In addition to communicatingwith parents about their children's online habits, they are determinedto model responsible and educationaluse of technology in their classrooms.

Socialmedia's impactonthe mentalhealthof teenagerswasin the newsagainrecently with somedisturbingfindingsconcerningInstagram's youngerusers. Accordingto a reportin TheWallStreetJournal, the immenselypopularFacebook-ownedplatform surveyedusersin 2020andfoundthat teenagegirlswerebeingharmedbytheirheavy Instagramuse.

Accordingto internalfindings, "thirty-two percentof teengirlssaidthat whentheyfelt badabouttheir bodies, Instagrammadethemfeelworse.” Thereportconcludedthat “we makebodyimageissuesworsefor onein threeteengirls."
Thatsocialmediacanbea magnetfor socialpressure, anxietyandbullyingis nosecret, but Facebook's acknowledgmentthat oneits platformswastoxic for manyteenagersis bringingnewscrutinyto the oftenoversizedpresenceof socialmedia - andscreentime in general - in youngpeople's lives. In response, TikTokrolledoutnewmentalhealth resourcesfor its users, a moveexpertscalledwelcomebut overdue.

Screentime consistsof wide-rangingcontent, althoughsocialmedia - Snapchat, Instagram, andTikTokespecially - takesupa significantlylargeshareof youngpeople's time online. In 2019, CommonSenseMediafoundthat 8- to 12-yearoldsspendan averageof almostfive hoursa daylookingat screensonsmartphones, tablets, gaming consoles, andTVs. Forolderkids, ages13to 17, that numberclimbedto 7 hoursand22 minutes.

Thesocialisolationbroughtonbythe COVIDpandemicin 2020-21hasstoked considerableworryamongeducatorsandparentsthat theconsequencesof excessive screenmaybemagnifiedasthe schoolyearbegins.

I dothink they’ll bemoreattachedthis schoolyear,” saysShannonGuevarez, a fourth- gradeteacherat SouthHanoverElementarySchool, in Hershey, Pa. “Mystudentsarejust automaticallydrawnto screens. It’s worrisome, becausewereallydon’t knowwhatthe long-termimpactis goingto be. Theirbrainsarestill developing.”

SOCIALCOMPARISONANDPRESSURE
Weall feel it— that smallrushor mini-higheverytimeourphoneemitsthat familiar ‘ding’ to alert usto a newtext or a Facebookor Instagrampost. Thathit of dopaminein the brainreleasesfeel-goodchemicalsinto yourbody, whichreinforcesthe behavior.

Eventually, this patterncancreateanaddiction. Likemostaddictions, it canbedifficult to get througha daywithoutfeedingthe habit. Adultsusuallyhavethe cognitiveand behavioralskills to manageor curbthe effectsof pervasiveuseof phonesor otherdigital devices.

Forteenagersandyoungerkids, however, it’s a differentstory. Theirbrainsare, as Guevarezsaid, works-in-progress. Developmentally, manydon’t havethe toolsto prevent the potentialdownsidesof too muchscreentime.

SamBallis a mathteacherin Winston-Salem, N.C. Nowin hisseventhyearin the classroom, Ballis concernedaboutthe effectsof excessivescreentimeheseesin his students. “Manyof themstayupverylate, scrollingthroughtheir phones. Theycanget verystressedandverysleep-deprived. Theaddictionto the ‘ding' - it’s verypowerful.” 7 eacherSamBallbelievessomeof hisstudentsaresleep-deprivedbecauseof their late-night socialmediause.

Verypowerfulandveryuniqueto this generationof youngpeople, saysKarlaFreeman, a highschoolteacherin neighboringDavieCounty. “Kidsprobablyseetheirparentsor otheradultsbeingableto manageandstrike a balance. Butoldergenerationscan’t relate … aswell becauseit’s beenin teenagers’ livessomuch. Theydidn’t gothrough that.”
8 Whilesomechildrencopefineandmanagethehighandlowsof socialmediainteraction, manyothersareproneto the anxiety, stress, anddepressionthat can, accordingto some surveys, stemfromscreentime.

It’s all that scrolling. Socialmediais a highlightreelfor thesekids,” saysDr. Pamela Hurst-DellaPietra, presidentof ChildrenandScreens, anorganizationthat analyzes digitalmedia’s impactonchilddevelopment. “Socialcomparison, the pressure, thefear of missingout takesa hit ontheir self-esteemabouttheirlives, theirbodies, andtheir relationships.”
If youngpeoplebalancedtheir useof socialmediawith plentyof socializingin person, expertsagree, the effectsfor somewouldn’t besosevere. Duringmostof the pandemic, this opportunitywascurtailedsignificantly, andTwitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, andTikToklikely becameevenmoreembeddedin their dailylives. 9 Sixmonthsinto the pandemic, the ChildMindInstitute andtheCaliforniaPartners Projectconductedin-depthinterviewswith 46highschoolstudentsin Californiato gauge howtheywerecopingwith this socialdisruption. Specificquestionscenteredaround internetuse, sleep, exercise, andtheir prevailingmoods.

Theresultswerereleasedin a 2020reportcalledArethe KidsAlright? Thepandemic underscoredthe extent to whichmanyteens’ onlinelife is their actuallife, thereport concluded. 10
Teenschecktheirappsfor anynew ‘news’ andthenfindthemselvesmindlessly scrolling, nolongerengaged, but unableandunwillingto stop,” the authorswrote.

Still, the reportalsofoundthat, “evenastheysaytheysufferheadaches, poorsleep, and exhaustion, teensfeelthe consequencesof being ‘addicted’ to their phonesandsocial mediaastoo mildto matteror warranta changein behavior.”

A BRIDGETO INTERACTION
Youngpeople's morebenignviewof their digitalmediahabitswasalsoreflectedin a 2019CommonSenseMediasurvey, whichfoundteensaremorelikely to seesocial mediaas "a goodthingin their emotionallives."
It's importantto rememberthat duringquarantine, screenswere "anessentialbridgeto interaction," saysJanineDomingues, a clinicalpsychologistin the AnxietyDisorders Centerat the ChildMindInstitute. “Socialmediawastheir outlet. Thiswashowthey stayedconnectedto friends.”
11 ccording toa2019CommonSenseMediasurvey, teenagersaremorelikelyto saythat socialmediahasa positiveeffect onhowtheyfeel.

CarrieSuchy, a psychologistat the Franklin-PierceSchoolDistrict in Washington, agrees. andcautionsthat, dueto a lack of comprehensiveresearch, thereis still much we donot know.

Whiletherearecorrelationsof concern - increaseddepressionandanxiety, for example thereis reallynocausalevidencethat socialmediaandscreentimenegativelyimpacts teenagers," Suchyexplains. "Also, whatwetendto seeis that amongthe groupwhere 12 thereis a correlation, theseyoungpeoplearealsolikely to seekresourcesandadvice throughthesesameonlinechannels."
Thequestionthenis: Areyoungpeoplespendingmoretimeonscreensbecausetheyare depressedor aretheydepressedbecausetheyarespendingtoo muchtime onscreens? Wereallydon't havethe answeryet," Suchysays. "Buttime will tell."

I CAN'T MITIGATETHEIRUSE'
Suchyalsopointsout that mostof the existingresearchis focusedonrecreational screentime andlessoneducationalscreentime.

Still, the rolefor schoolsandeducatorsis clear.
13 chool psychologistCarrieSuchy
Wecan't pretendthat thesedevicesandplatformsdon't exist. They're not goingaway.

Soweshouldcontinueto teachstudentshowto usethe Internetresponsibly," says Suchy.
14 Therealityis that this technologyis andwill bean integralpartof students’ lives. And whilethe useof, for example, smartphonesin the classroomis still generallyprohibited, or at leastrestrictedto a few keytasks, teachersregularlyusescreensin otherforms.

Whilemanyexperts, educators, andparentswantto discourageexcessivemediauseby students, technologyis a usefultool in the classroom—whenit’s interactiveandtruly educational, saysSamBall.

AsmuchasI'mconcernedaboutmystudents’ excessiveuseof onlinemedia, I can’t mitigatetheir use, at leastnot bymyself," heexplains. "WhatI candois leveragetheir interestinto a moreeducationalandbeneficialpurpose.”
Andwhilemonitoringandcurbingtheirstudents’ digital mediaconsumptionis not the responsibilityof educators, JanineDominguessays, openlinesof communicationwith parentsarecritical.

Teachersaregoingto seehowtheirstudentshavebeenaffectedasthe schoolyear begins,” sheexplains. “Sothereis a roleto playin keepingparentsinformedandworking with them. It hasto bea collaboration.”
Educatorscanplayanimportantrolein preventingdigitalmediafromovertakingchild development, saysHurst-DellaPietraandeducatorsshouldencouragestudentsto expresstheiranxiety. “Screensarenot goodcopingmechanisms, andstudents’ abilityto expressthemselvesopenlycanbehampered. Solisteningto their concernscanreally helpstudents,” shesays.

It’s just asimportant, Hurst-DellaPietraadds, to continueto raiseparents’ awareness aboutthe implicationsof excessivescreentime.

A BALANCINGACT
Giventhat studentsaresoattachedto digitalmedia, ShannonGuevarezdoesn’t hesitate to imposea moderate “noscreen” rulein herfourth-gradeclassroom.

Duringacademicfreetimein herclass, Guevarezsteersstudentsawayfromthe computer. “I will take that choiceawaybecausetheyneeda breakfromscreens,” she says. “Theycanread, color, or draw. Dosomethingelse.” Guevarezalsohas conversationswith herstudentsaboutscreentime andwhatrules, if any, theyabideby. 15 Guevarezbelievesthat the constantfloodof newplatformsanddevicesmarketedto schooldistricts is feedingthe perceptionamongstudentsthat technologyshouldrule their lives—insideandoutsidethe classroom. “Justbecauseit’s newandcool, doesn’t meanyouneedto implementit in yourclassroom,” shesays. “Usingtechnologyis a balancingact andteachershaveto beintentionalanddeliberatein exploringhowthese technologieshelpstudentslearn."
KarlaFreemanagrees.

Wewouldn't bedoingourjobsaseducatorsif wejust decidedto arbitrarilyscaleback the useof screensin the classroom. Technologyis a beautifulsupplementaltool. It shouldn’t ruleusin society, andthat’s howit shouldbemodeledbyus to ourstudents.

Otherwise, if theythink it’s the be-all andend-all for learning, thenthey’ll think it should bethe be-all andend-all in their lives."

A notefromChris:

It’s not their fault. Wedidthis.

Thisis oneof the mostimportantmindsetswe teachin ourparentpresentations.

Didyouknowthe word “empathy” wasn't addedto Englishuntil 1909? It's still "new" to us.

Feelinginto"anotherperson's situationis a special, rareability. Butessentialfor parenting.

It’s not their fault.”
Thisdoesn’t meantherearen’t consequencesfor digitalmistakes. Whatkindof parent wouldwebeif wedidn’t removethe device, deleteSnapchat, or makea changeafterwe allowedthe digital harmto occur?
That’s right - after WEallowedthe digital harmto occur. It’s onus.

It’s not their fault” is a positionof parentalempathy, knowingthat we’vepittedour childrenagainstthe mostbrilliantsoftwareengineersonearth. We’vedroppedyoung, amazingbrainsinto god-like technologyandact surprisedwhenchildren, with children's brains, insideof placescraftedfor adults, makedecisionslike children.

The14-year-oldversionof youwouldhavedonethe exact samethings.

It’s not yourfault” is a statementfor US, not them. It setsusupwith the right mindset, allowingusto approachourchildrenwith graceandtruth.

Childexploitationis a horrificcrime. Weworkaggressivelyto fight it onandoff our platforms, andto supportlaw enforcementin its effortsto arrestandprosecutethe criminalsbehindit,” the repsaidin a statement. “Predatorsconstantlychangetheir tactics in their pursuitto harmchildren, andthat’s whywe havestrict policiesand technologyto preventthemfromfindingor interactingwith teensonourappsandhire specialistteamswhofocusonunderstandingtheir evolvingbehaviorssowecan eliminateabusivenetworks.”
Between2020and2022, accordingto Meta, its policyenforcementteams “dismantled27 abusivenetworks” andin January2023disabledmorethan490, 000accountsfor violatingchild-safetypolicies. Asof the fourthquarterof 2022, Meta’s technology removedmorethan34millionpiecesof childsexualexploitationcontentfromFacebook andInstagram, morethan98% of whichwasdetectedbeforeit wasreportedbyusers, the companysaid.

Accordingto the Journal’s report, “Technicalandlegalhurdlesmakedeterminingthe full scaleof the \[pedophile\] network \[onInstagram\] hardforanyoneoutsideMetato measure precisely.” Thearticle cited the StanfordInternetObservatoryresearchteam’s identificationof 405sellersof whatthe researchersdeemed “self-generated” child-sex material (accountspurportedlyrunbychildrenthemselves) usinghashtagsassociated with underagesex. TheWSJstoryalsocited datacompiledvianetworkmapping softwareMaltegothat found112of thoseaccountscollectivelyhad22,000unique followers.

TheJournal’s reportnotedthat Instagramaccountsthat offerto sell illicit sexmaterial generallydon’t publishit openly” andthat suchaccountsoftenlink to “off-platform contenttradingsites.”
Researchersfoundthat Instagramenabledpeopleto search “explicit hashtagssuchas pedowhoreand #preteensex” andthenconnectedthemto accountsthat usedthe terms to advertisechild-sexmaterialfor sale, accordingto the report. Perthe Journal, test accountsset upbyresearchersthat vieweda singlesuchaccount “wereimmediatelyhit with ‘suggestedfor you’ recommendationsof purportedchild-sex-contentsellersand buyers, aswell asaccountslinkingto off-platformcontenttradingsites. Followingjust a handfulof theserecommendationswasenoughto flooda test accountwith contentthat sexualizeschildren.”
In addition, certainInstagramaccounts “invitebuyersto commissionspecificacts,” with some “menus” listing pricesfor videosof childrenharmingthemselvesor “imageryof the 2 minorperformingsexualacts with animals,” accordingto the Journalreport, citing the findingsof StanfordInternetObservatoryresearchers.

At the right price, childrenareavailablefor in-person ‘meetups,’” the Journalreported.

Amongotherinternetplatforms, SnapchatandTikTokdonot appearto facilitate networksof pedophilesseekingchild-abusecontentin thewaythat Instagramhas, accordingto the Journalreport. OnTwitter, the StanfordInternetObservatoryteam identified128accountsofferingto sell child-sex-abusecontent; accordingto the researchers, Twitterdidn’t recommendsuchaccountsto the samedegreeasInstagram andTwitteralsoremovedsuchaccounts “far morequickly,” the Journalreported.

FloridaGov. RonDeSantissignsbill that banschildrenunder14fromhaving social mediaaccounts.

FloridaGov. RonDeSantissigneda bill onMondaythat will prohibitchildrenyoungerthan 14fromjoiningsocialmediain the state. Thosewhoare14or 15will needa parent’s consentbeforetheyjoin a platform.

Ultimately, \[we’re\] tryingto helpparentsnavigatethis verydifficult terrainthat wehave nowwith raisingkids, andsoI appreciatethe workthat’s beenput in,” DeSantissaidin remarksduringthe bill-signingceremony.

In January, lawmakersgrilledCEOsfromTikTok, XandMetaaboutonlinechildsafety.

Thetech executivesreaffirmedtheir commitmentto childsafety, andpointedto various toolstheyofferasexamplesof howtheyareproactiveaboutpreventingexploitation online.

FloridaHouseSpeakerPaulRennerandotheradvocatesof the newlaw arguethat social mediausecanharmchildren’s mentalhealthandcanleadto sexualpredators communicatingwith minors.

Noneof uscanaffordto beon the sidelineswhenit comesto socialmedia," Rennersaid in remarksmadeat the bill signing.

Metais puttingAI front andcenterin its apps, andsomeusersareannoyed.

Florida’s law is alsoexpectedto facelegalchallengesoverclaimsthat it violatesthe FirstAmendment.

Youwill not finda line in this bill that addressesgoodspeechor badspeechbecause that wouldviolatethe FirstAmendment," Rennersaid. "We'venot addressedthat at all. 3 Whatwehaveaddressedis the addictivefeaturesthat areat the heartof whychildren stayontheseplatformsfor hoursandhoursonend."
Hespecificallycalledout NetChoice, saying, “We’re goingto beatthem, andwe’re never evergoingto stop.”
DeSantisarguedthe bill is constitutionallysound.

AnytimeI seea bill, if I don’t think it’s constitutional, I vetoit,” hesaid. Hedescribed the bill as "a fair applicationof the law andConstitution.” And: I ChangedMyMindAboutKidsandPhones. I HopeEveryoneElseDoes, Too.

Thekids shouldn’t havephones,” unlessonewerewriting for the Atlantic. Aweary “it hasalwaysbeenthus” posetowardthe topic wasin order—television, Walkmans, rock music, the youthsarealwaysupto somethingthe adultsthink is stupid. Someof the resistanceto wagginga fingerat kidsandphoneswasa totally fair allergyto generationalanalysis; anotherpart of it wasprobablyself-defense. 4 Someof usreallydon’t like ourscreentime habitscriticized,” Taylorwrotein a follow- upSubstackanalyzingtherepliesto herrecent “it’s thephones” provocationonX.

Moreandmorepeoplehavea boomerrelativewhowasradicalizedonFacebook, a grandmawhowon’t lookupfromherphoneduringfamilyvisits, or a GenX partneradept at the art of phubbing. We, whoaresupposedto enjoygrown-adultlevelsof impulse control, havehadtroublesleepingdueto doomscrolling, spentZoommeetingslookingat Instagram, or gotteninto weirdfightswith strangersonRedditthat derailedus emotionallyfor far too long.

We, ourselves, with ourdevelopedbrains, havefelt like flies onsticky paperwhenit comesto socialmedia; of course, children, still formingtheir selvesandnavigatingthe pitfalls of pre-adulthood, maybeaffectedbyit too. “Kidsprobablyshouldn’t have smartphones” haslost its generationalsting. It hascometo lookmoreandmorelike commonsense.

Noneof this will benewto anyonewho’s kept upwith popularparentingbooksin the pastfew decades. Haidt’s innovationlies in connectingthis now-well-articulatedpictureof overprotectedchildhoodwith what happenswhenthosesamekidsget onphones.

SEC. 2.

TheLegislaturefinds anddeclaresall of the following:
a) Californiashouldtake reasonable, proportional, andeffectivestepsto ensurethat its childrenare not harmedby addictionsof anykind. b) A broaddiversityof psychologistsandpsychiatristsin the field of addiction, as well as scientists, doctors, andotherresearchers, acknowledgethe existenceof social mediaaddiction.
1) Researchusingthe BergenSocialMediaAddictionScale, a widelyused measureof social mediaplatformaddiction, hasfoundthat social media platformaddictionhasa prevalenceacrossthe generalpopulationof about 5 percent.
2) In peoplewhobecomeaddicted, the brain’s rewardsystemis more active whenusingsocial mediathanit is in the brainsof peoplewhoare not addicted. Theresult, accordingto healthexpertsandresearchers, is compulsiveandexcessivesocial mediause.
c) Thereis growingevidencethat social mediaplatformaddictionis a particularproblem, particularlyamongadolescentchildren. 4 1) Thelargestsocial mediaplatformcompanyin the world’s ownsecret internalresearchvalidatesboththe existenceof social mediaaddictionin childrenandthat social mediaaddictionhurtschildren. Asanexample, in September2021, TheWallStreetJournalpublisheda seriesof articles referredto as “TheFacebookFiles.” Thosearticles, citing a troveof internaldocumentsobtainedfromFrancesHaugen, a whistleblower, demonstratedthe extent to which Facebookknewthat its platformscause significantharmto users, especiallychildren.
2) Morespecifically, as revealedby Haugen’s sworntestimonybefore Congressandthe accompanyingsecretresearchsherevealedto TheWall StreetJournal, “Facebookhasstudieda patternthat they call problematic use, what we mightmorecommonlycall addiction. It hasa veryhighbar for whatit believes \[problematicuse\] is. It \[means\] youself-identifythat youdon’t havecontroloveryourusageandthat it is materiallyharming yourhealth, yourschoolworkor yourphysicalhealth.” … “Facebook’s internalresearchis awarethat therearea varietyof problemsfacing childrenonInstagram, they knowthat severeharmis happeningto children.”
3) DuringwhistleblowerHaugen’s sworntestimonyto Congress, she revealedthat, whenit comesto meetingthe platform’s addiction-like definitionof “problematicuse”: “Fiveto six percentof 14yearoldshave the self-awarenessto admitboththosequestions” that qualifya child as havingproblematicuse.
4) Fiveto six percentof Instagram’s child usersis millionsof children, certainly manythousandsof which residein California.
d) Socialmediaplatformaddictionis moreacutein girls thanboys. 1) Girlsexperiencea higherprevalenceof social mediaaddictionthan boys.
2) Girlswhoadmitto excessivesocial mediaplatformusearetwo to three times morelikely to reportbeingdepressedthangirls whousesocial mediaplatformslightly.
3) A March2020presentationpostedby Facebookresearchersto Facebook’s internalmessageboardreportedthat “66% of teengirls onIG experiencenegativesocial comparison (comparedto 40% of teenboys)” andthat “\[a\]spectsof Instagramexacerbateeachotherto createa perfect storm.”
e) Thebusinessmodelsof somesocial mediaplatformcompaniesfinancially motivatethemto deploy designfeaturesthat increasethe likelihoodof addictionamongall users, includingchildren.
1) Insteadof chargingto signup, social mediaplatformsearn substantiallyall” of their revenuethroughadvertising.
5 2) Themoretime usersengagewith the platform, the moreadsuserssee, andthe morevaluablethe advertisingbecomes.
3) In this regard, addictedconsumersareparticularlyprofitablebecause their consumptionbehaviorgoesbeyondnormalengagementlevels. 4) Fortheseprofit-drivenreasons, socialmediaplatformcompanies intentionallyinvent, design, anddeployfeaturesthat areintendedto make it hardfor usersto stopusingthe platform, includingdeployingtechniques usedin gamblingandtechniquesthat maskor avoidcuesthat might prompta userto stop using.
f) Companiesthat markethigh-volumeaddictiveproducts, including tobacco, havea specialincentiveto addictyoung, potentiallylifelong, consumers.
g) Adolescentchildrenareat far greaterrisk thanadultsto becoming addictedto social mediaplatforms.
1) Adolescentchildrenexhibit higherlevelsof stressandanincreased proclivity towardtaking risks.
2) Duringadolescence, children’s rewardsystemsdevelopmuchfaster, while their self-controlsystems, whicharenot fully developeduntil 21 yearsof age, lag behind. Forthis reason, ratesof behavioraladdictionsare elevatedin adolescenceas comparedto adulthood.
3) Socialmediaplatformcompaniescanusethe datatheycollect on childrento determinewhichchildrenaremostlikely to bevulnerableto a givenad, therebyexacerbatingthe risks of addiction.
4) Ascomparedto adults, childrenaremoresusceptibleto the pressures andinfluenceof advertisements, less likely to recognizepaid-for content, andless likely to understandhowdatais usedfor thesepurposes. h) Becausetheir brainsarestill developing, childrenareat far greaterrisk of beingharmedby social mediaplatformaddictionthanadults. Addiction adverselyinfluencesthe developmentof judgment, attention, andmemoryin the brain.
1) Higherdaily ratesof checkingsocial mediaplatformshavebeenlinked to a reductionin the volumeof braintissuethat controlsmemory, emotions, speech, decisionmaking, andself-control.
2) Forthis reason, reductionin this kind of braintissueis in turn correlatedwith higherimpulsivity, somethingwith whichchildrenand adolescentsarealreadysusceptibleby dint of their youth. 3) Severalstudieshavefoundlinks betweenspendingtime onsocial mediaplatformsandrates of suicideanddepressionamongteens. 4) Numerousstudiesshowthat reducingsocial mediaplatformuseresults in mentalhealthbenefits.
6 5) Socialmediaplatformaddictioncancreatea viciouscycle for shyand lonelyyouth. Discomfortwith real-life interactionsleadsto internet interactions, isolation fromreal-worldinteractioncausesloneliness, lonelinesscombinedwith social phobiamotivateadditionalengagement online.
i) Whensocial mediaplatformcompaniescreate, design, implement, or maintainfeaturesfor users, includingchild users, ontheir socialmedia platformsthat the companyknowsor shouldknowareaddictiveto children, they shouldbeheldliable for the harmsthat result.
j) Otheraddictions, includinggamblingaddictions, havehada demonstrable negativeeffect onstate economies.
k) Californiahasa compellinginterest in protectingthe mentalhealthof its childrenfromsocial mediaplatformaddictionthat is foreseeablefor, at a minimum, all of the followingreasons:
1) Topreventneedlesssufferingto Californiachildrenandtheir families. 2) Toensurethe capacityof all its childrento fulfill their potentialandto reachnormalgoalsfor social andeducationalachievementto the benefit of all Californians.
3) Topreventthe costs of treatingmentalhealthharmsto childrenfrom beingincurredby andshiftedto Californiafamilies, businesses, insurers, schools, andmentalhealthprofessionals.

Feelinginto"another person'ssituationisa special, rareability. Butessentialfor parenting.

It’snot theirfault.”
Thisdoesn’t mean therearen’t consequencesfor digital mistakes. Whatkindof parent would we be if we didn’t removethe device, delete Snapchat, or make a change after we allowed the digital harm to occur?
That’sright - after WEallowed the digital harm to occur. It’son us.

It’snot theirfault” isa positionof parental empathy, knowingthat we’ve pitted our childrenagainstthe mostbrilliantsoftwareengineerson earth. We’ve dropped young, amazingbrainsinto god-liketechnology and act surprisedwhen 4 children, with children'sbrains, insideof places crafted for adults, make decisions likechildren.

The14-year-old versionof you would have done the exact samethings.

It’snot yourfault” isa statementfor US, not them. It setsusup with the right mindset, allowing usto approach ourchildrenwith grace and truth.

Parentingwith you,

1 Utah’s NewLawRestrictingSocialMediaUsefor MinorsIsn’t Clearon Enforcement.

MARCH25, 20233:48PMEDT
Utahjust passedlegislationthat is set to limit minors’ socialmediauseandrequire parentalpermissionfor kidsto useplatformslike Instagram, TikTokandFacebook, but there’s noclearplanonhowit wouldbeenforced.

UtahGovernorSpencerCoxsignedtwo bills into effect Thursdaythat preventchildren fromusingsocialmediafrom10: 30P.M. to 6:30A.M., requireageverificationto join socialmediaandofferthe opportunityto suecompaniesonbehalfof childrenwhocan claimtheywereharmedbysocialmedia.Bothlawsarecollectivelyknownasthe Social MediaRegulationAct, andareset to take effect onMarch1, 2024.

Thelegislationalsoseeksto limit children’s exposureto addictivefeaturesonsocial mediaandtargetedadvertisingthat couldcausedamage.

I think we needto dosomething,” Coxsaid. “Thesearefirst-of-their-kindbillsin the UnitedStates. That’s huge.”
Butthe bills, SB152andHB311, facebacklashfromopponentsoverconcernsthat it violatesteens’ privacyandfreedomof speech.

Thesetypesof lawsareimperfectandmaybethey’re not respectingthe rightsof minors, but maybetheywill helpbuildsocietalinertiaandget theseout-of-control companiesto bebetter,” saysJenniferGrygiel, a communicationsprofessorat Syracuse Universitywhoresearchessocialmedia.

Socialmediacompaniesacrossthe webgenerallyadhereto a 13anduppolicy, meaning theyaskusersto confirmthat they’re at least13yearsoldbeforeenrollingto usethe site—but thereareplentyof waysto get aroundthe agerequirementthat cleverkids havebeenusingfor years.

Youngpeoplewill find workarounds. They’ll figureit out,” Grygielsays.

Parentshavelongworriedthat the risein teensocialmediausenot onlyimpactsmental health, but alsoputskidsat risk of cyberbullying, onlinegroomingandexposureto graphiccontent, hatespeechandmisinformation.

Somecompanies, like TikTok, havebeenlistening. Amidcontroversyoverthe app’s data privacy, it rolledout measuresthat limit screentimeandreducefeatureslike direct messaging, for minors’ accounts,

Majorsocialmediacompanieshaveyetto announceplansto challengethe laws, but legalexpertsanticipatelegalbattlesoverthe next year. Criticspointout that giving parentsaccessto theirchildren’s postsandmessagescanseverelylimit their privacy andbeunsafefor childrenin abusivesituationsor endangerLGBTQyouth. Somealso suggestthat requiringusersto sharemorepersonaldatato verifytheir identitiesis hypocriticalto protectingchildrenfromexploitativeadvertising.

Parentsandeducatorsrealizethat kidscanstill logontothe app, but manybelievethat lawslike Utah’s andinitiativeslike the onesTikTokjust rolledout encourageteensto be moreintentionalaboutsocialmediauseandperhapslimit it.

Upuntil the last coupleof years, theseplatformshavehadunfetteredaccessto children,” Grygielsays. “Maybeit’s a signalto thesecompaniesto increasecorporate socialresponsibility.”
If theyarenot effectivelyrunningtheir companies, societywill continueto passmore andmorelawsto the pointwhereit becomesdifficult for themto dobusiness,” Grygiel adds.

OthermostlyRepublican-ledstates—Arkansas, Texas, Ohio, LouisianaandNewJersey— arefollowingin Utah’s steps, tryingto passsimilarlegislationthat wouldput pressureon socialmediagiantsto limit minors’ access. Likeotheradvocatesof the measures, CommonSenseMedia, a nonprofitthat wantstechnologyto bemorechild-friendly, says that theyencourageotherstatesto “holdsocialmediacompaniesaccountableto ensure kids acrossthe countryareprotectedonline.”
