SR 136 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A Resolution designating the week of August 17 through 23, 2025, as "Social Media Safety and Parental Awareness Week" in Pennsylvania.

This resolution designates the week of August 17-23, 2025, as "Social Media Safety and Parental Awareness Week" in Pennsylvania. It aims to raise awareness about online child exploitation, citing statistics such as a 192% increase in online enticement cases (546,000 in 2024) and 1 in 5 teens experiencing sextortion. The resolution encourages educational programming and public awareness efforts to protect minors from social media risks as students return to school, without creating new laws or enforcement mechanisms. It is a non-binding symbolic gesture focused on community education, not a policy change.
