FEATURED AUTHOR: "One Way Out" (Nick Seven Book 9)- Lauren Scott is a wealthy widow with a lot of embarrassing secrets. Her late husband, a convicted stock swindler, died under mysterious circumstances, just as he was about to name names in Federal court. His legacy supposedly includes a list of VIPs who attended sex parties on a private Caribbean island, among other things. Now Lauren has become the target of too many people who think she holds the secrets he once kept, and they just might kill her for them. She calls on her friends, former CIA spies Nick Seven and Felicia Hagens, for help. Despite initial misgivings, they agree to assist her. But their laidback Florida Keys life is quickly disrupted by those in hot pursuit, including a zealous podcaster who is making Lauren’s private life public, a Treasury agent, victims of her late husband’s Ponzi scheme, and a Southern governor who has his eye on the White House. Looks like there might be trouble brewing in paradise. https://lnkd.in/eX4pxDVs #contemporaryromance #mystery

Good stuff for folks working in social-justice communications. True crime stories focus on harm done to white females by strangers -- in contrast to real trends in crime -- and these stories advance "tough on crime" laws that disproportionately target Black people, and people with mental illness and physical disabilities. Instead, "when you truly listen to survivors, your heart rate should never be speeding up; it should be slowing down. This is how new dimensions of justice and healing become imaginable." https://lnkd.in/gNbCWfqN

Reposting for awareness. We’ve normalised massive consumption of social media who’s content can have profound impacts, especially so on those who are vulnerable, such as children. There have been studies on mass scale emotional contagion through social networks (https://lnkd.in/eEFejhB8) - Said simply, if I see a higher concentration of happy things on my newsfeed, I will feel more happy (without realising its affect). There is much more to be learnt in this space. How engagement algorithms keep us on a platform for as long as possible…well that’s up to everyone to determine for themselves… We need to understand the prerogative and negative externalities of any goal seeking systems which are effectively left to their own devices. I hope this petition can support the direction of travel of creating more transparency and understanding on what impacts their may be of generally consumed social media by children.

Is social media and access to cell phones leading to child/adolescent suicide and/or bullying? Who or what is forming the conscience of your children? We all have what is called ‘self-talk’, developed as the brain is still forming/growing in some people until 28 years old. From a neurological and psychological lens, it is obvious that cell phones, violent video games, and video games which contain soft porn are priming and detrimentally affecting the human development of a person. It is against the law to scream fire in a crowded theater, because that behavior induces chaos. How is this any different? Reasons: Access to violent pornography Pornography The Courts have convicted an adolescent for use of words causing a romantic friend to cause him to die by suicde Research by Bandura reveals social learning is most prominent Research supports that peer or relevant role models are most effective for behavior modification Research shows males higher rate of suicide completion, by violent means Males have higher testosterone, androgens Anyone with impulse control issues, higher risk of suicide attempt/completion Crisis counseling information supports that after a suicide in a community, it is recommended to NOT inform and teach about the suicide to children or adolescents. The vicarious trauma, herd mentality, and emotional contagion are reasons to support this recommendation. Solution: Remove the devices from the home Enact laws only 18 years older own Mandatory mental health video prior to purchase Ease the emotional load/spend time/fun with your children If you do not talk, find someone who will Speak goodness you see in your child, not just the negative/corrections (every day at least 1x speak to the child about your love for them and what you like about them) Set boundaries Meet needs each day: emotional, physical, spiritual, educational Show some emotional turmoil AND how to recover It is OK to share/empathize/co-regulate; but then YOU as the adult know how to land the plane/recover-bring them down with you to safety Give house chores, age appropriate Note: Only UK citizens can sign the petition.

I'm becoming ever more aware of the growing weaponisation of social media against our children, particularly as mine approach the age of this poor boy. Whilst this petition has closed (successfully), I'm sharing this as the onus is on every one of us to challenge big tech to play their part by ensuring adequate usage of their platforms and a commitment to sensible governance. Young minds are not equipped to deal with the subconscious influence that social media creates. At a time when it is one of THE leading influences in their lives, it could not be more damaging to their developing brains. Government reform is excruciatingly slow, largely due to tech subsidies, and tech giants are untouchable, which ironically makes social channels like this essential to generate a movement for change. We can't sign this petition, but we can help build awareness that may result in some reform. #JoolsLaw #SocialMedia

Signed. Why wouldn't you sign this? I work in social media, and I can honestly say, having to be online on various apps all day every day, takes a huge toll on my MH. Not always as I use it view work related content, but every few swipes/scrolls, it throws out some random video/image/post with content that can be very distressing and negative. I work in these algorithms and platforms yet still; I can't always shield myself from these posts and it affects me. So how are your children able to avoid these and not be sucked into such negative propaganda? From murders to 999 calls with children, hate speeches, war scenes and more, why are parents not given full access to their children's social media accounts to observe what they're seeing and take action to keep them safe? I still don't agree with anyone under 18 having social media accounts, and I certainly do not approve when people upload content of their child to their own social media accounts. Doesn't matter if it's a private account, you do not personally know every single person on your accounts or what they are capable of. Images and videos can be taken, altered, used to track location... protect your children from this. Not only that, but these uploads remain on SM permanently, there is no way to stop anyone taking your content, and once uploaded it belongs to the platform. Does your child deserve to be made into a meme or be recognised from posts you made well into their adult lives? I love social media for my job. I love how it connects people from all over the world and I can stay in touch with people I love, bands I like, and so forth. But children and social media is a toxic recipe for disaster in my opinion. If your child has social media, I urge you to have their passwords and daily, review every like they send, every video they watch, every chat they have. The horror stories I've heard make my blood run cold and sadly, cases like this, with Jools and his family, are becoming far too common.

This is a vital petition to allow parent's to access children's social media accounts (living or deceased). This is driven by Ellen Roome who lost her child and she has no idea what triggered his death. She is wanting closure for her and her family - but more importantly wants to ensure that children are safeguarded against harmful social media content which could influence a child's decisions and actions negatively. This isn't a privacy issue but about protection and safeguarding. It is known that the brain is only fully developed and matured in the mid-to-late 20s. The prefrontal cortex at the front of the brain, is responsible for all important skills like * making good decisions * reasoning * solving * impulse control * awareness of one's and other's functioning. Social media is a powerful medium and whilst it plays a role in educating, knowledge sharing, broadening our viewpoints, can also be extremely dangerous when undeveloped minds are fed misleading information which can have disastrous consequences if there is no means of intervention. Please sign the petition if you agree.
