Number 1 Cause of Mental Health Issues in Teenagers is Social Media | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

According to recent studies, the number one cause of mental health issues in teenagers is the negative impact of social media. An unusual paring of lawmakers has been promoting online safety bills but they've been stalled for almost a year. Now the lawmakers may be on the verge of getting Congress to pass comprehensive legislation. Senators Lindsey Graham and Dick Durbin have a package of bills aimed at combating child sexual abuse material on digital platforms. The bills would allow victims to sue social media companies for sexual exploitation. The senators joined advocates at a recent news conference to raise awareness. Dawn Hawkins is the CEO of the National Center on Sexual Exploitation. She says Congress hasn't passed an online safety law in 25 years.
