@swheeler2@GavinNewsom@CountyofSonoma Not all children grow up with parents like you and some kids no matter how great their parents are, they are still dealing with serious mental and emotional issues during this insane period of isolation. They are kids! Sports and school are these kids lives. It’s gone.
