Almost 24 million youth ages 10 through 17 were online regularly in 1999. (Online Victimization: A Report on the Nation’s Youth. June 2000.) Children and teens need extra attention and guidance when using internet chat rooms because of the risk of unwanted sexual solicitations and approaches, unwanted sexual material, and threatening and offensive behavior directed at them. Congress has already taken action with legislation creating the Child Online Privacy Protection Act to help keep children safe. There is also a show on Dateline NBC called “To Catch a Predator with Chris Hansen,” that catches potential predators in the act. The show sets up a decoy screen name on the internet acting as a child and sets up meetings with predators.
I figured the claim being made due to the cartoon of a young girl looking into a dark room not knowing what was in there and evil looking eyes staring back.
Over Medicated Cartoon
These days there is a pill for any issue you have, even if medication is not needed for it one can get it. America is over medicated and this is a problem because it causes dependency in children and adults, the side effects can lead to serious illness or death and causes people to live an unhealthy lifestyle due to medication being the answer to every problem. Many of the health problems people have can be helped with sleep, water, a healthy diet and regular exercise. When medication is the only step taken in a health issue it is usually the beginning of several other issues as well. The side effects are listed on every medication and include warnings that that it might cause a variation of problems such as diarrhea, constipation, ulcers, blood clots, open sores, impotence, brain hemorrhaging, increased blood pressure, abnormal hair growth, temporary blindness, and in some rare cases, death. I figured the claim being made due to the cartoon of a doctor giving his patient pills and then another doctor giving a patient more pills for the side effects from the first pill
