My daughter passed in 2007 she is forever 17. It is believed she was on her phone. Her story assisted in getting state laws.

I totally agree with this cause and fully support the efforts. Its not just the social media apps, but all apps that are on smart phones today. This should be a requirement not an option. I would suggest that anyone that wants to see a change, needs to look at more then a warning but a consequence
