Goldie Hawn: Pandemic Trauma Hurting Children, ‘We’ve Failed Them’

Breitbart reports that Veteran actress Goldie Hawn decried how trauma and coronavirus panic porn has severely harmed children in a recent op-ed for USA Today.

Recalling the stress inflicted upon children during the Cold War when her fifth-grade teacher showed her the horrors of nuclear war, Hawn argued that children imbibe fear in ways that adults do not seem to fully grasp.

“A child’s mind exposed to real-world fear, without the ability to properly process it, can go down dark passages leading to nothing less than existential dread,” argued Goldie Hawn.

The First Wives Club star likened coronavirus panic porn to various moments in U.S. history where children were subjected to national trauma such as the Challenger space shuttle disaster and, of course, September 11. While Hawn certainly did dismiss the pain and suffering inflicted by the coronavirus pandemic, she argues America has failed to help children through the dread they are no doubt experiencing.

Today, we are in the midst of a national trauma that could very well surpass 9/11 and approach the heightened terror of the Cold War years. The COVID era has changed our children’s lives in far more real, tangible ways – social distancing, school closures, daily mask use.

Kids are afraid of people, spaces, even the air around them – a level of constant fear not seen in decades. In early 2021, emergency room visits in the United States for suspected suicide attempts were 51% higher for adolescent girls and 4% higher for adolescent boys, compared with the same time period in early 2019.

This tells us that as a nation, we have failed our children. The few federal and state dollars that get directed to youth “mental health” invariably end up being earmarked for addiction and “crisis care,” addressing only the most severe disorders. There are modest funds once a kid ends up in a hospital. But what about before?
