🔒 Lock up the iPads?

Happy Monday! It’s August 14 — people are talking about the Supreme Court’s Sackler decision, the pros and cons of kids using iPads, and more.

As always, we’ve summarized and organized the different shades of perspective, so you can see the big picture quickly.

💊 In the news: The Sackler decision

The Supreme Court blocked a deal protecting the Sackler family (the owners of Purdue Pharma) from personal liability relating to the Opioid crisis.

💊 Boston 25 News: The Supreme Court blocked a deal that would have protected the Sackler family from civil lawsuits related to the Opioid crisis.

💊 CNN says the agreement would have been a total abuse of the bankruptcy system, and would've offered the Sacklers immunity from prosecution.

💊 But Purdue Pharma is upset, according to ABC News. This decision means victims will wait longer for compensation — the deal could've been very helpful.

💊 But this Twitter user says no way, Purdue Parma's deal would've only covered $6k per Opioid death. The Sacklers would've gotten away with murder!

🔒 Cultural trend: Lock up the iPads?

Should kids be allowed on iPads? If so, what's the right amount?

🔒 Drew Barrymore locks her kids' iPads in a safe when they're not used, according to Cosmo. The goal: Limit screen use, promote family hangout time.

🔒 Molly DeFrank (aka “Mama of the Digital Detox”) loves the idea — take those iPads away! They're addictive and mess up your child's worldview.

🔒 What to Expect says that's silly — there's no evidence that iPads harm development. Don't feel guilty about keeping your kids entertained.

🔒 But MR PORTER says it's really complicated, and iPads are just one small part of raising a healthy and happy child. You can choose any amount of iPad time as long as you're paying attention to how your kid responds.
