CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Kids are getting addicted to their screens, from cell phones, to computers, TV and video games.

In part one of a new series, I’m taking a dive into the new digital dope.

We’re going to the experts to understand how much screen time is too much, how it affects young people, and what you can do as a parent to make sure tech is a tool, and not a lifestyle.
