10-14 Who’s Really Teaching Our Kids? Algorithms with AI Driven Content or Educators?

October 14, 2025 lynnswarriors

The Warriors are not anti-technology. We are pro-transparency, pro-family and pro-truth. But we’ve seen this pattern before. Convenience dressed up as progress, while values and parental authority are quietly deleted. What is Google Gemini and is being used in your child’s classroom? Gemini doesn’t just answer questions. It interprets them. That means your child’s curiosity, confusion or emotional struggle could be “answered” by a machine programmed with someone else’s worldview. Parents have the right to know what their children are being told and who’s doing the telling.

10-13 More Than 30 Children Rescued Amid Trafficking Operation in Major US City as Expert Warns of Growing Crisis

October 13, 2025 lynnswarriors

Federal and local authorities rescued more than 30 missing children and uncovered multiple trafficking operations targeting vulnerable youth during a coordinated crackdown across Texas.

The effort, centered in San Antonio, led to arrests, felony warrants and several new investigations under a joint mission known as “Operation Lightning Bug.”

Teams from the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) out of San Antonio, Del Rio, Midland, and Pecos joined forces with San Antonio Police Department’s Missing Persons Unit, Special Victims Unit, Street Crimes Unit and covert operatives. Together, they combed through Texas and national crime databases to identify at-risk juveniles and coordinate recovery efforts.

10-12 Nearly Half of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Go Missing from Their Environment

October 13, 2025 lynnswarriors

According to data published by the American Academy of Pediatrics, nearly half of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) go missing from their environment, with a substantial number at risk for bodily harm or drowning. Children on the autism spectrum may seek out small or enclosed spaces, head toward water or places of special interest to them, or they may try to escape overwhelming stimuli such as sights, sounds, surroundings, or activities of others.

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children® has free resources and training to help support caregivers, first responders, and search teams to help mitigate missing incidents for children on the autism spectrum.

10-11 Is SNAPCHAT Safe for Kids? Hint: NO

10-11 Is SNAPCHAT Safe for Kids? Hint: NO

October 11, 2025 lynnswarriors

Snapchat is a popular app that allows users to create and send “snaps” messages that use multiple media options, including photos and videos. Users can edit that content to include text, drawings, and filters. Young users enjoy features that quickly delete snap messages after posting. Group messages, for example, disappear one day after everyone in the group has viewed them.

In addition to sending private messages, Snapchat users can post public content or content known as “Stories” that can only be seen by their followers.

Users open the app and use the camera to take a video or photo. Then, they choose whether to post it to their personal Story or send it as a message. Snaps can be sent as individual or group messages to people in the user’s contact list.

Snapchat’s defining feature is that content disappears shortly after it has been created, usually within 24 hours. Content sent to a friend is deleted once the friend views and navigates away from the message. Users can, however, choose to save snaps from their dashboards.

A snap posted as a Story also disappears 24 hours after posting. However, some options, such as Group Chats, may remain available for up to a week if not all group members have viewed the content.

Kids and teens enjoy the relative feeling of privacy provided by the app’s regular deletion of content because parents and authority figures have a lower chance of seeing it. However, users can save photos and videos posted by other users and circulate them, meaning that users don’t have ultimate control over their content.

10-09 Section 230 Protected Social Media Companies from Legal Responsibility for Misinformation. AI Chatbots Could be About to Change That.

October 9, 2025 lynnswarriors

Meta, the parent company of social media apps including Facebook and Instagram, is no stranger to scrutiny over how its platforms affect children, but as the company pushes further into AI-powered products, it’s facing a fresh set of issues.

Earlier this year, internal documents obtained by Reuters revealed that Meta’s AI chatbot could, under official company guidelines, engage in “romantic or sensual” conversations with children and even comment on their attractiveness. The company has since said the examples reported by Reuters were erroneous and have been removed, a spokesperson told Fortune: “As we continue to refine our systems, we’re adding more guardrails as an extra precaution—including training our AIs not to engage with teens on these topics, but to guide them to expert resources, and limiting teen access to a select group of AI characters for now.”

Meta is not the only tech company facing scrutiny over the potential harms of its AI products. OpenAI and startup Character.AI are both currently defending themselves against lawsuits alleging that their chatbots encouraged minors to take their own lives; both companies deny the claims and previously told Fortune they had introduced more parental controls in response.
