The American Medical Association reports that five million kids are addicted to videogames. Research reveals that each week our children spend five hours online, six hours on the phone, eight hours playing video games, 12 hours listening to music, and 30 hours watching TV or movies. What are they giving up? And have parents given up control?

Screen Addicts explores the dangers in the technology that has overtaken our kids’ lives. Watch the stories of four siblings constantly fighting over use of the family computer, a teenager whose addiction to online pornography started when he was 12 years old, and another teen who got hooked on Internet gambling and is now paying off $18,000 in credit card debt. Examine choices parents can make about how to protect their children from these hazards. The research is clear that one parenting style is far more effective than several others.
