Many parents see the same signs: late nights on the phone, mood swings, pulling away. If that sounds familiar, you deserve straight answers — starting with a phone call.

Other families are living the same story. The fights about screen time. The kid who seems “fine” online but shuts down at home.
Recently, a Los Angeles jury looked at how major platforms are built — endless feeds, pings, and suggestions that keep kids scrolling — and held Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and YouTube responsible for serious harm to a young person. The total award was $6 million. The jury found those products were a substantial factor in the mental health harm. Jurors also found malice and misconduct — meaning this was not written off as a simple mistake. Families are also asking questions about platforms like TikTok and Snapchat.
That does not mean every situation is the same. It does mean courts are starting to take what parents have been saying seriously.
If several of these sound familiar, it may be time to speak with someone who can explain your options in plain English.
These products are not designed like a textbook or a family photo album. They are built to pull attention back, again and again.
Feeds that never end. There is always another video, another post.
Notifications. Little nudges that train the brain to check “just once more.”
Suggestions tailored to your child. The app learns what keeps them watching — even when it is not good for them.
That mix can wear kids down over time. You are not wrong to worry.
