Las Vegas Activists Protest TeenScreen


Federal recommendation protested

Activists say mental health screenings without parental consent could become mandatory



Protesters said federally funded recommendations made by the federal New Freedom Commission on Mental Health will make mandatory mental health screening, without parental consent, a reality for students in the United States.

"Maybe the kid is having a bad day that day. They'll say he's depressed and screen them," said activist Rebecca Iocca.
