You gotta PUT YOUR FOOT DOWN IN YOUR LIFE ! Block numbers, stay away from fake love,grind,get your spirit & mind right…Stay focused! You gotta demand positivity, claim it, speak it, see it everyday Im growing & trying 2become a better version of myself & I won’t dare let up 💪🏽🤍
yall don’t think it’s WEIRD , that CPS will potentially take your kids if you’re struggling (unable to feed them , clothe them , pay for necessary medicines , etc.) 🤔 and then once your kids are taken , they put them in a home with another family , and then give THEM money every month to take care of your kids ??
is that not a fucked up system ?!
Fred Rogers met with a child psychologist every week for 22 years to build his show. She shaped everything: every script, prop, and song. The whole point was to give a child's nervous system time to slow down. In 1984, a single regulatory decision ended all of it.
The psychologist was Dr. Margaret McFarland, who co-founded the Arsenal Family and Children's Center alongside Benjamin Spock and Erik Erikson. She and Rogers understood that the prefrontal cortex in children, the part of the brain that controls impulse, emotion, and attention, takes decades to fully develop. At the start of every episode, Rogers tied his sneakers and changed his sweater while children settled in. Those pauses were intentional, designed to help a child's nervous system shift into a calmer, more focused state.
What ended it had nothing to do with child development science. In 1984, Reagan's FCC chairman Mark Fowler abolished the advertising limits that had protected children's programming from commercial pressure. Toy companies moved within months. Between 1984 and 1985, cartoons tied to toy lines increased by 300%, from a handful of shows to more than 40 animated series. In almost every case, the toy was designed first. The cartoon was built to sell it.
Researchers later put numbers to what parents were already noticing. A 2011 study in Pediatrics from the University of Virginia tested 60 four-year-olds across three groups: one watching SpongeBob, which cuts scene every 11 seconds; one watching a slow PBS show, which cuts scene every 34 seconds; and one drawing. Nine minutes later, all three took tests on attention, impulse control, short-term memory, and problem-solving. The SpongeBob group scored significantly worse across every measure.
In the 1970s, children began watching television around age 4. Research from pediatrician Dimitri Christakis found that by 2009, the average age of first screen exposure had dropped to 4 months, as the content got faster and the audience got younger. Researchers separately found that each additional hour of daily screen time at ages 1 or 3 raised the risk of attention problems at age 7 by 9%.
There are many details the public still doesn’t know that may eventually come to light. Because of the gag order placed on the case shortly after the incident, neither Karmelo’s family nor his supporters and advocates were allowed to speak publicly about many aspects of what happened.
Karmelo has epilepsy and suffered a serious head injury in 2024 as a result of an epileptic episode. Just a few weeks before the incident in 2025, he also sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery and was still in the healing process.
For someone living with epilepsy and recovering from recent injuries, a physical altercation can pose very serious risks. You can literally die if you get into a fight with epilepsy. Karmelo feared for his safety and believed his life was in danger. when he was confronted by multiple individuals, he acted out of self-preservation and in an effort to protect himself. Those Metcalf boys and others jumped on Karmelo and Collin county trying to hide it. Remember karmelo is 5’8 130lbs n those twins were 6’1 and over 200lbs, Karmelo WILL win his appeal‼️
