NYC Child Welfare Agency Says It Supports “Miranda Warning” Bill for Parents. But It’s Quietly Lobbying to Weaken It.
==
Despite publicly claiming to support a measure that would require child protective services agents to read people their rights, the city’s Administration for Children’s Services has privately proposed gutting the bill.

Today in Labor History June 3, 1910: U.S. anarchists formed the Francisco Ferrer Association in Harlem, one year after the wrongful execution of anarchist educator Francisco Ferrer in Spain. The organization founded libertarian socialist schools throughout the U.S. based on the principles of Ferrer’s Modern Schools. The American Modern Schools were designed to counter the discipline, formality and regimentation of traditional American schools. Regular working-class people ran the schools for the children of workers. They sought to abolish all forms of authority, including educational, with the goal of creating a society based on free association and free thought. They emphasized learning by doing, as well as crafts and reading. They avoided rigid curricula, rote memorization and regimentation, as well as rewards and punishments. They also believed that learning was a life-long process that never ended. Therefore, parents and other adults were encouraged to participate in the operation of the schools and to attend evening and weekend lectures. Some of the speakers at these lectures included Clarence Darrow, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Jack London, Upton Sinclair, and Man Ray. The schools also served as cultural centers for the promotion of revolutionary unionism, free speech, sexual liberation, and anti-militarism.

"Parents and schools across Greystones adopt voluntary ‘#noSmartphone #code [of conduct]’ in bid to curb peer pressure", in a "rare example of an entire town taking joint action." "Not all parents will deny their primary schoolchildren a smartphone – the code is voluntary – but enough have signed up to create a…critical mass"

На сегодня фестиваль манги и манхвы "Восемьнадцать Минус", приуроченный в честь 1 Июня, дня защиты детей, закончен. Благодарю вас всех за внимание, если читали и смотрели все эти опубликованные эпизоды.
Добавлю лишь, что, публикуя сегодня всю эту манга- и манхва- чернуху, я ни коим образом НЕ преследовал НИКАКИХ гуманитарных целей (после 24 Фев. 2022 года, думаю, все разговоры о художниках и литераторах, как о "целителях душ" - просто бред). Но, разумеется, в некоторых из этих историй есть и кое-что... личное... Хороших выходных!!

Today in Labor History June 1 is the day that U.S. labor law officially allows children under the age of 16 to work up to 8 hours per day between the hours of 7:00 am and 9:00 pm. Time is ticking away, Bosses. Have you signed up sufficient numbers of low-wage tykes to maintain production rates with your downsized adult staffs?
The reality is that child labor laws have always been violated regularly by employers and these violations have been on the rise recently. Additionally, many lawmakers are seeking to weaken existing, poorly enforced laws to make it even easier to exploit children. Over the past year, the number of children employed in violation of labor laws rose by 37%, while lawmakers in at least 10 states passed, or introduced, new laws to roll back the existing rules. Violations include hiring kids to work overnight shifts in meatpacking factories, cleaning razor-sharp blades and using dangerous chemical cleaners on the kills floors for companies like Tyson and Cargill. Particularly vulnerable are migrant youth who have crossed the southern U.S. border from Central America, unaccompanied by parents. https://www.epi.org/publication/child-labor-laws-under-attack/
.
Of course, what is happening in the U.S. is small potatoes compared with many other countries, where exploitation of child labor is routine, and often legal. Kids are almost always paid far less than adults, increasing the bosses’ profits. They are often more compliant than adults and less likely to form unions and resist. Bosses can get them to do dangerous tasks that adults can’t, or won’t, do, like unclogging the gears and belts of machinery. This was also the norm in the U.S., well into the 20th century. In my soon (I hope) to be released novel, “Anywhere But Schuylkill,” the protagonist, Mike Doyle, works as a coal cleaner in the breaker (coal crushing facility) of a coal mine at the age or 13. Many kids began work in the collieries before they were 10. They often were missing limbs and died young from lung disease. However, when the breaker bosses abused them, they would sometimes collectively chuck rocks and coal at them, or walk out, en masse, in wildcat strikes. And when their fathers, who worked in the pits, as laborers and miners, went on strike, they would almost always walk out with them, in solidarity.

• Gold,
• Cherry,
• Water,

It was fun when she proposed to treat wood as chocolate, as it’s more pleasing.😅

NEW ESSAY: you can't understand our current anti-trans moral panic without "Understanding the Anti-Trans Parent Movement," which has received almost no media scrutiny thus far. It's similar to the anti-vaxx parent movement in its science denialism & desire for purity (in this case, purging the "trans" from their child at all costs).

US Surgeon General: ”There is no evidence that social media is safe for kids”

Hi, I'm a professional storyteller, and here's today's PSA:
Unless the storyteller complains, your kids didn't do anything wrong. We are fine with wriggling, giggling, lying down, and whispering. If you tell them off after the performance, you kill the magic right there.
Kids wiggle. They ask questions, and comment on the stories. It's part of storytelling. Don't discipline them unless I ask for help.
IMO, the Surgeon General's scaremongering over kids and social media is part of an anti-encryption push by world authorities.
If the powers that be convince the public that social media harms kids, they can establish a system where internet users must identify themselves under the guise of proving they're not children.

How We Reached Workers While Reporting on Dairy Farm Conditions

As we reported on dairy farms in #Wisconsin, we knew we’d have to get creative in how we got our articles to the affected workers.

"Employers have struggled to fill open positions after a spike in retirements, deaths and illnesses from COVID-19, decreases in legal immigration and other factors."
So legislators in a number of states want to solve that problem by relaxing child labor laws. 😬

New study bolsters link between covid pandemic and declining teen mental health. But still no definitive proof for why.
Was it social isolation? Increased use of social media?
Being stuck at home with abusive family members?
Anxiety over family deaths, poverty and homelessness associated with the pandemic? Increased attacks and violent rhetoric by bigots and fascists that coincided with the pandemic? The worsening of the climate crisis?

Support from #parents and #caregivers plays a crucial role in the #wellbeing and development of #transgender, #nonbinary, and other #genderdiverse #children. Studies consistently show that #rejecting or exhibiting #hostility towards these children significantly increases their risk of #anxiety, #depression, #substanceabuse, and even #homelessness. Tragically, they also face a higher risk of #suicide due to rejection, #bullying, and #victimization.

In some cases, medical professionals may recommend the use of hormone #blockers for #transgender or #genderdiverse #children. Hormone blockers are medications that temporarily pause puberty, allowing more time for the child to explore their gender identity without the irreversible changes that typically occur during puberty.

Thinking how dictators, like #Turkey’s #Erdogan, are like abusive parents — I recall I’d cringe when #Egypt’s Mubarak would refer to himself as ‘our father’.
Like abusive parents, they humiliate & oppress their ‘#children’ behind closed doors, shaking their confidence & gaslighting them, then put on a fake smile & share fake #news with the world that all is well & we are one big happy #family…
Do not be deceived, listen👂
