The study just ignored children and teens, which it explicitly notes were most likely to be effected, so it's honestly kind of pointless. I will conveniently ignore that fact when arguing with pro-COVID dipshits though.
Same. I do wonder what the genuine effects on children but I think some parents probably made it worse freaking their kids out about what was being done to them
Childhood poverty did decline during the pandemic, afterward is another story, but at least during the pandemic I could imagine some mental health benefits for kids in addition to the obvious drawbacks.

I imagine the bigger concern is likely the trauma done by COVID (death of parents/family members/friends, long covid, etc).
