Good to know
When anyone who may be a minor is in frame, look for drinks that are clearly alcohol, vapes, cigarettes, betting apps or casino games, fireworks, guns or knives in their hands. Does NOT count: adults alone with these items, or an item merely in the background that no minor is using or holding.
