CWA Fights to Keep Kids Safe Online
December 12, 2024
American families continue to tear apart as social media platforms become a breeding ground for the sexual exploitation of minors. Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) CEO and President Penny Nance is proud to stand with the parents affected (some who’ve lost their child due to failures in this area) in a letter to leadership in the U.S. House of Representative urging them to pass the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA).
The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry reports that children in the U.S. aged 8-12 spend 4-6 hours a day on screens. Teenaged users logged upwards of 9 hours per day. A large sum of this time is outside parental oversight with studies showing 97% of students use phones during the school day, and 60% use them between the hours of 12:00 a.m.-5:00 a.m.
