Social media for under 16s is being compared to the harm caused by cigarette smoking. Clear evidence shows that social media can be linked to depression and anxiety. This has led to National introducing a member's bill to ban social media for those under 16 years of age, to protect kids. Parenting expert Nathan Wallace told Ryan Bridge implementing a ban for under 16s sends the message that, like cigarettes and alcohol, social media is something we need to monitor. He says social media is worse than we originally thought, so we now need to take the responsible steps to protect our kids from it. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Screen time may be making young children more prone to mental health problems.  A new study measured the link between screen time and mental health in 16,000 children in China, across the ages of three to six.   Neuroscience educator and child development expert Nathan Wallis told Tim Dower that flashing lights from screens affect the part of the brain associated with emotions and empathy.  The World Health Organisation says the appropriate number of minutes per day a child under two can look at a screen is zero.   Wallis says that has nothing to do with the content, it's completely to do with the flashing lights.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An Oamaru school's under fire for barring students from calling their parents when a group of pupils and staff went missing on a camp. Two students and two staff from St Kevin's College went missing overnight last month at Mount Somers. Search and Rescue teams found them the next morning.

The school says it's ordered a full review. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
