BETRAYAL: Biden HHS Official’s Radical Screen Time Push EXPOSED

• Outgoing Biden HHS bureaucrat pushes sweeping screen time advisory targeting American families
• Doctor claims government knows better than parents about raising children
• Advisory comes as Trump administration prepares to restore parental rights

A top Health and Human Services official in the outgoing Biden administration just revealed the government’s latest attempt to control how American families raise their children.

Dr. Stephanie Haridopolos, who has served in a key role at HHS, defended the administration’s new screen use advisory that tells parents when and how much their children should use electronic devices. The recommendations came buried in bureaucratic health guidance issued just weeks before the Trump administration takes over.

"We are not willing to wait—and that's why we did this."

“It’s about prevention,” Haridopolos claimed during an exclusive interview.

“We’re asking ‘how do I prevent disease?’ rather than just treating it.”

But conservative parents and advocates immediately pushed back, questioning why unelected bureaucrats believe they should dictate family decisions. The advisory represents yet another example of government overreach into the private lives of Americans — a hallmark of the Biden years that the incoming Trump administration has vowed to reverse.

The screen time guidance suggests specific limits on device usage for children and teens, framing excessive screen exposure as a public health crisis.

While concerns about technology’s impact on youth mental health have grown across the political spectrum, critics argue the federal government has no constitutional authority to instruct parents on such matters.

Haridopolos also discussed the “Make America Healthy Again” movement, which has gained momentum among Trump supporters and will likely shape health policy under the new administration. The outgoing Biden official attempted to co-opt the message, suggesting her work aligned with MAHA principles.

“Prevention is what MAHA really means,” she argued.

But the MAHA movement, championed by figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., focuses on exposing regulatory capture, ending the revolving door between Big Pharma and federal agencies, and removing toxins from America’s food supply — not expanding government control over parenting decisions.

The timing of the screen time advisory raises questions about the Biden administration’s motives. With just days remaining before the transition, career bureaucrats appear to be rushing through last-minute policy recommendations that could constrain the incoming administration’s ability to chart a new course.

Trump has promised to restore parental rights and roll back federal interference in family life. His appointees have signaled they will review all eleventh-hour Biden policies and rescind those that violate constitutional principles or exceed federal authority.

The screen time guidance may be among the first casualties.

Parents across America have grown increasingly frustrated with government experts who claim superior knowledge about child-rearing while ignoring traditional wisdom and parental autonomy. The Biden administration’s approach epitomizes the nanny-state mentality that voters soundly rejected in November.

Our freedoms depend on staying vigilant.
