988 Popup

[Anonymous]

Has anyone’s child mentioned getting a 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifetline) popup on their Chromebook? My daughter mentioned seeing it yesterday and was very unsettled by it.

No, I just saw an article that mentioned almost nobody knows what it is. I think it's listed on the backs of the kids' ID cards.

I'd probably mention it to the school, just so they know there are likely a variety of reactions to this type of messaging.

Ok, because my kid says that it comes up on her and her friends' Chromebooks any time they log on. They are in elementary school and do not have IDs.

Maybe a tech glitch?

A lot of school systems do content monitoring (spying and narcing) on Chromebooks. Could be popping up the minute warning in response to something the kid wrote or downloaded (or a glitching attempt to do that)

Maybe...though she says it comes up on her classmates' Chromebooks too. I'll have her show me tonight.

It’s also on the website in the pop up banner. 988 is new. I’m glad that they are helping spread the word to kids about it.

My ES gets it on the login screen.

Hasn't been giving much attention, but remembered the number 988.

I don't have a problem with it, necessarily, but I would have liked some advanced warning. My child's teacher would have as well. She had no idea what I was talking about when I told her that's where my daughter had heard about 988.
