Arieff added that her daughter is frustrated and \u201closing faith not just in [San Francisco Unified School District] SFUSD but in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The outlet reported that the University of California-San Francisco Benioff Children\u2019s Hospital \u201chas seen a 66 percent increase in the number of suicidal children in the emergency room and a 75 percent increase in youth who required hospitalization for mental health services, the lawsuit says, quoting pediatricians, child psychiatrists and emergency room doctors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The hospital\u2019s Emergency Department at Mission Bay reported last month also reported \u201crecord high numbers of suicidal children seen and treated,\u201d though the legal filing didn\u2019t include an exact number, the AP reported. In addition, the lawsuit quoted doctors remarking on the increase of anxiety, depression, and eating disorders in children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe medical evidence is clear that keeping public schools closed is catalyzing a mental health crisis among school-aged children in San Francisco,\u201d Dr. Jeanne Noble, director of COVID Response for the UCSF Emergency Department, says in the lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>Another parent quoted in the lawsuit, Lindsay Sink, says her 7-year-old son had experienced a \u201cmajor regression\u201d and is having \u201cuncontrollable meltdowns that turn (the) whole house upside down.\u201d Sink also has a 10-year-old daughter who is exhibiting \u201cdepression and anger.\u201d Sink says in the lawsuit she worries her daughter\u2019s \u201cmental health will continue to suffer\u201d as long as she is kept out of in-person classroom education.<\/p>\n<p>As the AP reported, the lawsuit \u201cis the first of its kind in California and possibly the country, as school systems come under increasing pressure from parents and politicians to end virtual learning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While students suffer, the school district seems more concerned with tackling race perceptions, focusing on renaming schools based on historically inaccurate information and debating the racial makeup of an all-female volunteer council.
