I am a grandmother of 2 boy's now 13 and 15 wow this has been a roller coaster ride they both have had to have mental health help and the 13 year old has been thrown under the bus with so many meds that helped and did not help I have learned so much about mental health I have had to kick and scream for my 13 year old and will until my last breath. This is just a tip of the ice burg. Every day is a new lesson.

Did their mental health decline during the COVID lockdowns?

 @9FLS866 from California  agreed…2yrs2Y

I've been through multiple health care programs for my mental health and psychological disabilities and the funding is so terribly low.

 @9FM3NTH from Georgia  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Biden will issue a pardon of his son Hunter Biden

President Joe Biden has decided to issue a pardon for his son Hunter and is expected to announce it Sunday night, according to a senior White House official with direct knowledge of the decision.The decision marks a reversal for the president, who has repeatedly said he would not use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence. The pardon comes ahead of Hunter Biden’s Dec. 12 sentencing for his conviction on federal gun charges. Hunter Biden also is set to be sentenced in a separate criminal case on Dec. 16, after pleading guilty in September on federal tax evasion charges.The pardon is expected to cover both Hunter Biden’s gun charges conviction and guilty plea.The senior White House official said Biden decided over this weekend to grant his son a pardon and began to inform his senior aides on Sunday. Using his pardon power to assure Hunter Biden does not spend time in jail comes as the 82-year-old president is near the end of his term in the White House and has no future election to face. In recent months Biden has said he would not pardon his son or commute his sentence.“I will not pardon him,” the president said of his son in June after a jury found him guilty on three federal gun charges.President Biden has discussed issuing a pardon for his son with some of his closest aides since at least Hunter Biden’s conviction in June, two people with direct knowledge of the discussions about the matter said. They said a decision was made at the time for the president to publicly say he would not pardon his son even though doing so remained on the table.White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters earlier this month that the president’s position has not changed.
