I’m asking the FCC to protect meaningful local oversight, public participation, and health considerations in decisions about wireless infrastructure. Parents deserve to know what is being installed near our homes, schools, and playgrounds. We deserve clear notice, accessible information, and a real opportunity to raise concerns before decisions are finalized. Our ability to participate needs to carry actual weight. I’m particularly concerned about how exposure guidelines account for children, pregnant women, and people with complex medical conditions. Please explain how the FCC evaluates long-term exposure, exposure from multiple sources, and the needs of medically vulnerable people. Families deserve transparent answers about the evidence, its limitations, and the questions that remain. I ask the FCC to require independent verification of compliance, make those results publicly accessible, and provide a clear process for investigating residents’ concerns. Communities also need authority to consider placement near homes, schools, and childcare centers. Once infrastructure is installed near a family’s home, that family has limited control over its exposure. Moving is financially impossible for many parents. That makes public participation and careful review essential. Please reject provisions that weaken meaningful community input or local oversight. Explain how public health concerns will be evaluated and addressed before expanding wireless deployment. Our children deserve a voice in these decisions, and their parents deserve to be heard.","attachments":[],"attachment_names":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filing/26110080817","filing_type":"COMMENT","proceedings":"ET 13-84","capture_reviewed":false,"captured_at":"2026-10-17T05:20:04.836Z","supplied_classification":null,"tags":["children-schools","pregnancy-reproduction","standards-testing","research-requests"],"source_hash":"6a7b802170b931196fb79c2f6d3c269df45569fd6fd6d1d2911f950779f4c290","slug":"children-schools-filing-26110080817","classification":{"id":"26110080817","body_sha256":"d219919f7762996d831282e09814c8fe511e68baa9eb3640913a8974555c0c0a","status":"text_matched","primary_topic":"children-schools","topics":[{"id":"children-schools","evidence":"Parents deserve to know what is being installed near our homes, schools, and playgrounds."},{"id":"pregnancy-reproduction","evidence":"I’m particularly concerned about how exposure guidelines account for children, pregnant women, and people with complex medical conditions."},{"id":"standards-testing","evidence":"I’m particularly concerned about how exposure guidelines account for children, pregnant women, and people with complex medical conditions."},{"id":"research-requests","evidence":"Please explain how the FCC evaluates long-term exposure, exposure from multiple sources, and the needs of medically vulnerable people."}],"summary":"","method":"Local topic rules v1; exact supporting passages; not an AI or medical review","scope":"Captured filing text only.
