North Carolina law requires these drills, but there’s limited data proving the effectiveness of them. Evidence increasingly suggests that active shooter drills are harmful to mental health, resulting in depression, anxiety and worsening school performance. https://everytownresearch.org/report/the-impact-of-active-shooter-drills-in-schools/

Could we actually see FOSTA's downfall soon?!?

Signs are at least good that the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit might strike down the 2018 law that targets sex work ads & chilled a whole host of speech https://reason.com/2023/01/18/appeals-court-panel-seems-skeptical-that-fosta-doesnt-violate-the-first-amendment/

Exclusive: a 17 y/o Native American girl died suddenly at a troubled teen boarding school

Ex-staff say she'd been sick for weeks, was pale & bloated, and wasn't taken to a hospital

Records I obtained showed she vomited 3 x's in the week before her death

Hope this helps.

This isn’t a sex trafficking ring, it’s adult industry workers being framed by cops. The uproar would be hellacious if taxpayers found out their dollars were being used for stings between consenting adults, so they lie and say these adults have been trafficked. https://twitter.com/darafaye/status/1617603077149962240

A buried lede in last week's @CommonSenseMedia report on young people's experience with adult content — less than a third of parents are using even basic filtering on devices or home internet. Would love to see how that breaks out demographically.

Just in case you needed further proof that the conservative obsessions with simultaneously treating children like property and accusing others of "grooming", has nothing to do with "protecting" children.

It's about control, indoctrination, and brainwashing: https://twitter.com/daithaigilbert/status/1619746991470415873

Why is a human rights-centered approach ideal for keeping kids safe? It lets us recognize and address the additional risks faced by children who are members of marginalized groups, including higher rates of suicidality, mental health issues, and abuse targeting these children.

Based on some of the comments I’ve seen recently, a little refresher:
• porn isn’t inherently harmful
• nudity isn’t inherently sexual
• bdsm isn’t inherently abusive
• inherently (adverb): in a permanent, essential, or characteristic way

"So, without further introduction, here are our top ten posts that are controversial but shouldn’t be – or, if you prefer, ten quick articles you can read to learn a little bit more about the prevention of child sexual abuse." https://buff.ly/3kVoAW9

Attractions don't commit abuse, people do.

This simple fact is the foundation of all work to prevent abuse. Human behavior, unlike attractions, can be changed, meaning nobody is doomed to harm a child. Those who are at risk of doing so can be given support to find another path.

West Virginia is looking to ban ALL adult businesses from the state. The "Sexually Oriented Businesses Regulation Act" says it needs to violate the 1st Amendment in order to safeguard the "health, safety and *morals*" of West Virginians. https://twitter.com/JosephShuler/status/1617904028561866752

“As soon as you say that she can’t have a real-world connection with someone else, you dehumanize her. She is a human being. She deserves to have relationships and connections with whoever she wants.” https://buff.ly/3iWSys9

Pedophilia is sensationalized when it is reported salaciously, exaggerated, used for reality TV-style entertainment, and turned into a political football. If we want to prevent abuse and keep kids safe, we should instead normalize accurate information and levelheaded discussion.
