State Senator Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley) sponsored SB 976, a bill aimed at protecting kids from social media addiction.
SB 1144, by Sen. Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, is part of a broader legislative effort to tackle retail theft in the state. Skinner’s bill specifically aims to crack down on organized retail theft operations, which use sites like Craigslist to peddle stolen merchandise.
"We have low unemployment, but many sectors of the economy are looking for workers," Skinner told CNBC. "If your family is in a situation where you can't go to work because you don't have adequate child care, or you can't afford child care, then you cannot fulfill that job that's sitting there, vacant and waiting for you."
“Kids are emotional. Kids don’t have impulse control the way adults should, and to bring an officer in, especially since all of our officers are armed, can, rather than defuse the situation, make it worse,” Skinner said. Kids can act out what they experience at home or on the street, she added.
