"Concerns over Teen Internet Addiction: Insights from US Adults and Teens"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Pew Research Center

A pair of surveys conducted by Pew Research Center found that 81% of U.S. adults support requiring parental consent for minors to create social media accounts, while only 46% of teens are in favor. The surveys also revealed that adults are more likely than teens to support age verification and setting time limits for minors on social media platforms. The findings highlight the growing bipartisan support for measures aimed at protecting children's mental health and ensuring parental oversight on social media use.

States Remove Time Limits on Child Sex Abuse Lawsuits.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Associated Press

Three US states, Vermont, Maine, and Maryland, have removed all time limits on child sexual abuse lawsuits, with Michigan, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts poised to follow. More than two dozen people have sued the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland, Maine, over the past year, seeking delayed justice since lawmakers allowed lawsuits for abuse that happened long ago and can’t be pursued in criminal courts either because of time limits or evidence diminishing over time. The lawsuits have targeted churches, summer camps, scout groups, and other institutions accused of enabling pedophiles or turning a blind eye to wrongdoing.
