North Korea is predicted to suffer form sevar economic difficulties within a few months

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Kim Jong Un may seem to keep his regime afloat with missile tests and propaganda depicting happy and healthy citizens despite tougher United Nations sanctions, but in a few months North Koreans will be struggling to stay alive because of "severe" economic difficulties, South Korean researchers predicted on Monday.

North Korea is most likely going to feel the effects of the U.N. sanctions that were adopted in September by March of next year, The Institute for National Security Strategy, a South Korean research team that's part of the country's National Intelligence Service, said, according to Yonhap News Agency.

"In addition to further toughened sanctions, an increase in North Korea's investment in conventional forces in the aftermath of military pressure stemming from the (Korean) deployment of American strategic assets is forecast to hit the North Korean economy seriously sometime after March next year," the research institute said.
WHY 2018 WILL BE NORTH KOREA'S YEAR
It added, "March has been pinned for the timing for the [United Nations Security Sanction] Resolution 2375 adopted in September to take effect, given the U.N. sanctions committee's position that the effects of sanctions begin to be seen six to twelve months after their introduction."

South Korean researchers said it's unclear if Kim will continue his focus on building the rogue nation's nuclear and missile program as world leaders threaten more sanctions to cripple its economy. Analysts previously told Fox News that Kim's strategy for his regime's success is to develop its nuclear arsenal and build its economy.

"North Korea may put further focus on building the economy while holding on to its policy line of becoming the most powerful nuclear state," Institute for National Security Strategy said.
AUSTRALIAN ACCUSED OF BEING 'LOYAL AGENT' TO NORTH KOREA IDENTIFIED, CALLED A 'GOOD MAN'
The U.N. Security Council unanimously approved sanctions that banned the regime from importing all natural gas liquids and condensates and capped imports of crude oil. North Korea scoffed at the sanctions and continued to accuse the U.S. of bringing the nations to the brink of a nuclear war.

North Korea launched an intercontinental ballistic missile in late November and boasted that the weapon could carry "super-large heavy nuclear warheads." Experts have feared the Hermit Kingdom could conduct another test before the end of the new year, but the research institute predicted Kim might use the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea's PyeongChang to establish a dialogue, according to Yonhap.

As for whether North Korea would even participate in the Olympics, researchers said: "All the steps for participation have been completed except for (leader) Kim Jong-un's final decision."

Barry Farmer was grew up in kinship which is a type of foster care. He was raised by his grandmother and couldn't figure out how to pay her back. Eventually he decided fostering and adopting his now three sons was a good way to show his appreciation. Now he can't imagine a life without his sons.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Barry Farmer knew he wanted to be a father, but never expected his family to turn out like this.

"I look in the mirror all the time, and if you would have told me 10 years ago that this would happen, I wouldn't believe you," the 30-year-old Richmond, Va., man told WTVR.

Farmer, a single dad, became a foster parent to his first son eight years ago, when Farmer was only 21. The boy, named Jaxon, was 8 years old when Farmer decided to adopt, he told "Inside Edition."

"Personally, I grew up in kinship care, which is another form of foster care. My grandmother raised me," Farmer told the site. "Her doing that for me, there was no way I could actually pay her back so I decided it'd be a good way to pay it forward."

Kinship care is a type of foster care where a child is cared for by a close relative or other adult, such as a godparent, if biological parents cannot do so. Foster parents, on the other hand, are usually unrelated to the children they care for.

Farmer began thinking about adopting again over the next few years, and started looking through the Adopt U.S. Kids website, according to WTVR. That's where he found his second son, Xavier, 15, whom he adopted in 2015, according to "Inside Edition." Just a year later, Farmer added a third son to his family by adopting 8-year-old Jeremiah, he told the site.

He knows his sons don't look like him - they're all white, and Farmer is black. But Farmer pays no mind to their differences in skin color.

"It's a typical family," Farmer told ABC 7 in 2016. "We may not look alike, but it's a typical family. In this day in time when it comes to family, and seeing color or seeing unity and belonging, and that's what I was hoping to accomplish with my family anyway."

Farmer's story comes amid a crisis in foster care. Several states, such as Georgia, are facing critical shortages of foster parents, leaving those children more at risk of falling through the cracks and becoming ensnared in things like sex trafficking, according to John Degarmo of the Foster Care Institute. The ongoing opioid crisis is also straining the foster system, as a blooming of addictions and overdoses have pushed more and more children into foster care, reported The New York Times.

And as those children get older, such as around the ages of Farmer's children, people are less and less likely to adopt them, according to reporting from the Deseret News.

Farmer told WTVR people need to overcome their notions about adopting older children.

"There's no reason to be afraid of our foster children who are waiting to be adopted," Farmer told the station. "Fatherhood has brought me lots of joy. I can't imagine my sons not being with me."

A grieving father killed himself and injured seven others Thursday after reportedly detonating two grenades at the murder trial of the man accused of killing his son.

The fatal incident took place at a court in Nikopol, in the eastern region of Dnipropetrovsk, police said.

Local authorities said the father died in the explosion, while seven other people - three defendants, two police officers, a court officer and a civilian - were injured by shrapnel.

All victims were taken to a local hospital; the extent of their injuries were not immediately revealed.

According to police, the unidentified man was on trial for allegedly killing another man in what appeared to be a redistribution of power in a known drug trafficking area.

Additional information was not immediately available.

The incident came a day a former Bosnian Croat military chief died after ingesting what appeared to be poison during a war crimes tribunal at The Hague on Wednesday. An autopsy was planned to determine what liquid Slobodan Praljak, 72, ingested.

Netanyahu quiet on US embassy move in speech, focuses on Iranian threat

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed Israel's "irreplaceable" relationship with the United States in his first public remarks after the White House said the embassy will move to Jerusalem, but did not address the move directly, and instead he stressed the threat of Iran.

Netanyahu lauded Israel's expanding relations with the world as he spoke at a diplomatic conference in Jerusalem, describing a "tsunami of diplomatic, economic, security and technology ties." However, he said relationships being built with the Arab World but could not be fully realized until an agreement is reached on Palestinian territories and called on nations around the world to do more to counter expanding Iranian influence.

A spokesman said he is waiting until after the official announcement to comment.

Trump is expected recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital in a speech later on Wednesday and order the relocation of the embassy there, according to senior aides.

While the move has been publicly welcomed by many Israeli politicians, it has the potential to unsettle Israel's warming relations with Sunni Arab nations at a time when they share an interest in countering the perceived threat of Iranian expansion in the region - as well as spark protests and torpedo the White House's nascent peace efforts. Palestinian officials have reacted with anger, while Trump's plans trigged bleak warnings from Middle Eastern nations who say the move will be detrimental to peace and the region's stability.

The move will shift decades of U.S. policy, with international consensus that the status of the city should be decided in a peace agreement between Israelis and Palestinians.

Other members of Netanyahu's coalition government welcomed the move at the event.

"The recognition by the U.S. and other countries will make clear to Palestinians that they must accept the existence of Israel and must conduct real negotiations of peace with Israel," said Intelligence Minister Israel Katz. "We expect the international community to accept Trump's decision."

"Israel is duty bound to express is satisfaction and joy and yes this is their capital and they want this recognition," said Yossi Mekelberg, a Middle East expert at the U.K.-based Chatham House. "But they also know it can cause some trouble, and will create reaction, mostly negative. How negative? That's the question."

While Arab nations have expressed public discontent they may decide their shared interests with the United States and Israel are too strategically important to genuinely jeopardize. Still, the moving of the embassy is not necessarily a priority for Israel, he said.

"They can't say no obviously, but I sense that quietly a few people are thinking, thanks but no thanks," Mekelberg said.

In an attempt to lobby against the move Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has called world leaders including Pope Francis, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to one of his aides.

But Trump appears set on fulfilling his campaign promise, regardless of the regional consequences.

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said Wednesday that the U.S. plan to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital is "unlawful" and could bring "irreversible consequences" in the region.

Also Wednesday, Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, slammed the decision on Twitter, saying it was taken "out of despair and debility."

"On the issue of Palestinian territories, their hands are tied & they can't achieve their goals," he said. "Palestinian territories will be free."

Before meeting Wednesday with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson at NATO headquarters, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, said it would be a "grave mistake" to recognize Jerusalem as Isarel's capital and move the embassy.

"It will not bring any stability or peace, but rather chaos and instability," he said. "Not only (in) the Muslim world. The whole world is reacting, and the whole world is against the possibility of this decision."

Cavuslglu said he had already told Tillerson this, "and I will tell him again."

His comments came one day after Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, said Jerusalem is a "red line" for the Muslim world, and threatened to cut ties with Israel.

"Jerusalem is a very delicate subject in the world of Islam," Yildirim said at a news conference in the South Korean capital, Seoul, the state-run Anadolu news agency reported.

"Wrong steps in this direction would bring irreversible consequences," he said, adding that such a move could "bring a new conflict between religions."

The Egyptian, Saudi and Jordanian governments all released statements on Tuesday warning of the consequences of the decision after their leaders spoke with Trump.

Baby Abducted from FL Hospital 18 Years Ago Found Alive in SC

UPDATE: Kamiyah Mobley, who was abducted as a newborn from a FL hospital in 1998, has been found alive in SC https://t.co/fjwBkBGL0c pic.twitter.com/6qpNzph6Gp

- WSMV-TV, Nashville (@WSMV) January 13, 2017

Florida authorities made a startling announcement this morning, confirming that a baby stolen from a Jacksonville hospital in 1998 has been found alive.

Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams, along with state and FBI officials, said today that Kamiyah Mobley has been located in South Carolina, The Florida Times-Union reported.

Mobley was snatched from her mother's hospital room just hours after her birth by a woman who posed as a nurse.

Authorities said Mobley is living under a new identity, but did not disclose that name. They said she appears to be a healthy 18-year-old and that DNA tests were performed to confirm her real identity.

The woman living with Mobley, Gloria Williams, 51, was arrested and is charged with kidnapping and interference with custody.

After the abduction, authorities could only release composite sketches of the infant, since no photos yet existed.

The case was featured nationally and on "America's Most Wanted," with authorities checking on more than 2,000 leads.

A tipster eventually contacted the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, disclosing that Mobley could be alive and living in South Carolina.

The sheriff said they still have many unanswered questions about the case, including Gloria Williams' motive.

The Mobley family brought a lawsuit against the hospital after the abduction and settled it for $1.5 million.

A 240 year old time capsule was found inside a statue during a restoration.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Workers in Spain restoring a statue of Christ were stunned when they discovered a hidden centuries-old time capsule.

Science Alert, citing Spanish media outlet EFE, reports that a secret message written by an 18 th-century priest was found inside the hollow wooden statue of Christ crucified, called Cristo del Miserere.
1,000 YEAR-OLD MUMMIFIED MONK REVEALS MORE OF HIS SECRETS
The statue had been taken from the church of Santa Agueda in Sotillo de la Ribera, in Northern Spain, for restoration. Experts from art restoration specialist Da Vinci Restauro reportedly found the letter when they took out a removable part of the statue - the wooden 'cloth' covering the figure's buttocks.

The note was written in 1777 by Joaquin Minguez, a chaplain at the Cathedral de Burgo Osma. In the letter, Minguez makes reference to Manuel Bal, sculptor of Cristo del Miserere and five other statues in the Santa Agueda church. Minguez also mentions the then King of Spain, Carlos III, local dignitaries and the region's crops. Additionally, the letter touches on common diseases of the time, such as malaria and typhoid fever, as well as popular entertainments such as cards and ball games.
HUMAN SKULL IN MUSEUM EXHIBIT STUNS RESEARCHERS
The letter, which experts carefully removed from the statue, is written on both sides of two pieces of paper. The fascinating document has been sent to the archives of the Archbishopric of Burgos, although a copy has been placed back inside the statue.

This is not the first time that a statue has revealed its secrets. A 1,000-year-old mummified monk, for example, was found inside a Chinese statue of Buddha.
ANCIENT FORBIDDEN CHRISTIAN TEXT OF JESUS' 'SECRET TEACHINGS' TO HIS 'BROTHER' FOUND
Last year researchers at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History found a human skull inside an exhibit that depicts a man fighting off lions while riding a camel through the desert. The display was being moved for restoration when the grisly find was made.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland - Russia's Olympic team has been barred from the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The country's government officials are forbidden to attend, its flag will not be displayed at the opening ceremony and its anthem will not sound.

Any athletes from Russia who receive special dispensation to compete will do so as individuals wearing a neutral uniform, and the official record books will forever show that Russia won zero medals.

That was the punishment issued Tuesday to the proud sports juggernaut that has long used the Olympics as a show of global force but was exposed for systematic doping in previously unfathomable ways. The International Olympic Committee, after completing its own prolonged investigations that reiterated what had been known for more than a year, handed Russia penalties for doping so severe they were without precedent in Olympics history.

The ruling was the final confirmation that the nation was guilty of executing an extensive state-backed doping program. The scheme was rivaled perhaps only by the notorious program conducted by East Germany throughout the 1960s, '70s and '80s.

Now the sports world will wait to see how Russia responds. Some Russian officials had threatened to boycott if the I.O.C. delivered such a severe punishment.

President Vladimir V. Putin seemed to predict a boycott of the Pyeongchang Games with a defiant dismissal of the doping scandal and a foreign policy in recent years that has centered on the premise that he has rescued Russia from the humiliation inflicted on it by the West after the collapse of the Soviet Union. His spokesman, Dmitri S. Peskov, said no boycott was under discussion before the announcement, however, and the news broke late in the evening in Moscow when an immediate official reaction was unlikely.

In barring Russia's team, Olympic officials left the door open for some Russian athletes. Those with histories of rigorous drug testing may petition for permission to compete in neutral uniforms. A panel appointed by the International Olympic Committee will rule on each athlete's eligibility.

Although it is unknown exactly how many will clear that bar, it is certain that the contingent from Russia will be depleted significantly. Entire sports - such as biathlon and cross-country skiing, in which Russia has excelled and in which its drug violations have been many - could be wiped out completely.

Olympic officials made two seemingly significant concessions to Russia:

¶ Any of its athletes competing under a neutral flag will be referred to as Olympic Athletes from Russia. That is a departure from how the I.O.C. has handled neutral athletes in the past. For example, athletes from Kuwait, which was barred from the 2016 Summer Games, were identified as Independent Olympic Athletes last year in Rio de Janeiro.

¶ Olympics officials said they might lift the ban on Russia in time for the closing ceremony, suggesting the nation's flag could make a symbolic appearance in the final hours of the Pyeongchang Games.

Thomas Bach, president of I.O.C., has said he was perturbed not only by Russia's widespread cheating but by how it had been accomplished: by corrupting the Olympic laboratory that handled drug testing at the Games, and on orders from Russia's own Olympic officials.

"This decision should draw a line under this damaging episode," Mr. Bach said at a news conference, noting that Alexander Zhukov, the president of Russia's Olympic Committee whom the I.O.C. suspended from its membership Tuesday, had issued an apology - something global regulators have long requested from the nation.

In an elaborate overnight operation at the 2014 Sochi Games, a team assembled by Russia's sports ministry tampered with more than 100 urine samples to conceal evidence of top athletes' steroid use throughout the course of competition. More than two dozen Russian athletes have been disqualified from the Sochi standings as a result, and Olympic officials are still sorting through the tainted results and rescinding medals.

At the coming Games, Mr. Bach said Tuesday, a special medal ceremony will reassign medals to retroactive winners from Sochi. But, in light of legal appeals from many of the Russian athletes who have been disqualified by the I.O.C., it is uncertain if all results from Sochi will be finalized in time.

The Russian Olympic Committee was also fined $15 million on Tuesday, money that global officials said will be put toward drug-testing international athletes.

[Read The Times's report that first laid out the details of Russia's doping scheme, and the exclusive story of a whistle-blower's personal diaries that were shared with investigators.]

The punishment announced Tuesday resembles what antidoping regulators had lobbied for leading up to the 2016 Summer Games, where Russia was allowed to participate but in restricted numbers. It is likely to face a legal appeal from Russia's Olympic Committee.

The decision was announced after top International Olympic Committee officials had met privately with Mr. Zhukov; Vitaly Smirnov, Russia's former sports minister who was last year appointed Mr. Putin to lead a national antidoping commission to redeem Russia's standing in global sports; and Evgenia Medvedeva, a two-time world skating champion.

"Everyone is talking about how to punish Russia, but no one is talking about how to help Russia," Mr. Smirnov said, sipping a hot beverage in the lobby of the Lausanne Palace Hotel before delivering his final appeal to officials. "Of course we want our athletes there, and we want the Russian flag and anthem," he said.

That appeal was rejected in light of the conclusions of Samuel Schmid, a former president of Switzerland whom the Olympic committee appointed last year to review the findings of a scathing investigation commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency.

"The analysis is clear and water-tight," Mr. Schmid said Tuesday. In a 30-page report, he affirmed the credibility of whistle-blowers and investigators who had followed their leads and evidence.

Tuesday's penalty was in line with what had been advocated by two key whistle-blowers whose accounts upended Russia's standing in global sports over the last several years and were cited in Mr. Schmid's report: Grigory Rodchenkov, the chemist who spent 10 years as Russia's antidoping lab chief and was key to carrying out the cheating schemes in Sochi; and Vitaly Stepanov, a former employee of Russia's antidoping agency who married a runner for Russia's national team and was the first to speak publicly about the nation's institutionalized cheating.

"The world knows that hundreds of Olympic dreams have been stolen by the doping system in the country where I was born," Mr. Stepanov wrote in an affidavit submitted to the International Olympic Committee this fall. He had suggested banning Russia's Olympic Committee for two years, or until the nation's antidoping operations are recertified by regulators. Russia and its individual athletes are all but certain to miss the 2018 Paralympics given regulators' refusal to recertify the nation last month.

"The evidence is clear, that the doping system in Russia has not yet been truly reformed," Mr. Stepanov wrote.

Dr. Rodchenkov is living in an undisclosed location in the United States under protection of federal authorities. In August, "Icarus," a film detailing Dr. Rodchenkov's move to the United States and tell-all account, was released. In addition to sworn testimony and forensic evidence, Mr. Schmid cited the film as further evidence in his report.

"Russia's consistent denials lack any credibility, and its failure to produce all evidence in its possession only further confirms its high-level complicity," Jim Walden, a lawyer for Dr. Rodchenkov, said Tuesday. The Russian sports ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Tuesday's decision could have consequences for another major sports event scheduled to be held in Russia, next year's $11 billion soccer World Cup. The nation's deputy prime minister, Vitaly Mutko, was Russia's top sports official during the 2014 Sochi Games and was directly implicated by Dr. Rodchenkov. As part of Tuesday's ruling, Mr. Mutko was barred for life from the Olympics.

Mr. Mutko is also the chairman of the local organizing committee for the World Cup, but FIFA said in a statement Tuesday that the I.O.C.'s punishments for Olympic doping would have "no impact" on its preparations for the tournament, which begins in June.

A child aboard a school bus died early this morning after the vehicle smashed into a tree in southeast Georgia, authorities said.

The unidentified student was one of 22 passengers aboard the bus at around 6:30 a.m. when it veered off a road in Liberty County and hit the tree, officials said.

The tree's branches protruded into the bus, leading to the child's death and causing multiple injuries to students, authorities said.

The bus driver suffered the most serious of those injuries, a Liberty County Emergency Management official said, and was rushed to a hospital in Savannah.

Students who were injured were also being treated at area hospitals.

Passengers who managed to survive the tree collision unscathed were being reunited with their family members, authorities said.

Opossum in Florida gets drunk after breaking into liquor store

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Florida opossum has recovered after having one too many sips of bourbon while celebrating Thanksgiving.

Employees at Cash's Liquor Store in Fort Walton Beach went back to work the day after Thanksgiving and discovered a strange sight: an opossum next to a broken and empty bottle of bourbon.

Owner Cash Moore told Northwest Florida Daily News this was the first time he's experienced an opossum break-in at his business.

"She came in from the outside and was up in the rafters, and when she came through she knocked a bottle of liquor off the shelf," Moore told Northwest Florida Daily. "When she got down on the floor she drank the whole damn bottle."

Michelle Pettis, a technician at Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge, said the female opossum, who was brought in by a police officer, appeared pale and disoriented and was salivating excessively.

"A worker there found the opossum up on a shelf next to a cracked open bottle of liquor with nothing in it," Pettis told the newspaper. "Assuming the opossum drank it all, he brought her to us, and we looked over her and she definitely wasn't fully acting normal."

The staff pumped the marsupial with fluids to flush out the alcohol in her system. She sobered up in a few days and was released on Thursday unharmed.

The opossum also appeared to have escaped a dreadful hangover, according to Pettis.

It's still unclear how the animale broke into Cash's. Pettis described the animal as "fairly large."

The refuge center posted on its Facebook page Friday a photo of the opossum with the caption: "On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: a drunk opossum in a box! This sly, and currently slurred, opossum snuck its way into a liquor store and discovered some holiday cheer of its own. A police officer brought the animal to us for medical treatment and is expected to be released soon."

The post received hundreds of reactions and shares.

Facebook makes kids messenger app for kids ages 6-12

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Facebook is eyeing a whole new demographic: kids.

The social network on Monday announced a new standalone app called Messenger Kids. It targets children ages six to 12.

The app allows young users to chat with their friends, make video calls with kid-friendly filters and send age-appropriate GIFs.

While this may sounds like a parent's worst nightmare, Facebook said it put safeguards in place to keep the platform safe and private.

Parents must set up a child's Messenger Kids account and approve with whom they can communicate (parents must be friends on Facebook to do so). Kids will not be searchable within the app for privacy reasons.

"Safety is absolutely the most important concern [and] being able to [know] who they're using the device with," Loredana Crisan, Facebook Messenger's product design director, told CNN Tech. "The ability to connect with only approved contacts is very important for that age range."

Children will not be able to access their parent's Facebook account and won't have their own account. Facebook's policy still requires users to be at least 13 years old to sign up for the main site.

The company said it will collect "little data" about its youngusers and will not feature ads or in-app purchases. It will also include tools to report or flaginappropriate content and block users.

Facebook said it worked with a committee of about a dozen expertsand more than 250 online safety organizations to develop the app. It also met with parents across the U.S. to hear the major concerns about their kids using technology.

The biggest theme? Parents want more control -- and Messenger Kids is Facebook's answer.

According to research conducted by Facebook and consultant firm Dubit, about 90% of kids between ages six to 12 have access to tablets or smartphones. Meanwhile, two out of three of those children have a device of their own.

Facebook argued putting communication in a place that can be monitored by parents allows kids to connect with friends and family online in a fun, but controlled way.

It's also a part of Facebook's larger strategy to grow its 2 billion user base.

But the app will likely draw some criticism.

"American parents are really protective of their young kids' privacy and social interactions," said Jenny Radesky, assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Michigan, C.S. Mott Children's Hospital. "There will probably be a bit of reaction that they're too young and there's a [general] lack of interest for [messaging apps]."

The young age requirement could also be a concern.

"As a parent, I would not be interested in a messaging product for my kids," Radesky said. "Do children really need that yet? You can get a lot of those modalities elsewhere."

She pointed to video-chatting services like Skype and FaceTime.

Facebook isn't the first to create a chat app made for kids.

In 2013, Snapchat launched a version of its disappearing photo platform for kids under 13 called SnapKidz. It was a limited version of its main app and didn't let users send or receive photos or add friends. It has since been discontinued. Snapchat declined to comment why when asked.

Other messaging apps for kids under 13 with parental controls have had trouble taking off, too.

"These things only work if everyone else is on it as well," said Stephen Balkam, founder and CEO of the Family Online Safety Institute and a member of Facebook's Advisory Committee. "It's such a crowded marketplace [for apps]."

Facebook could have more success with a kids app considering it is a global brand with a large user base.

"You never know, until you put it out there, how it's going to be used and what unintended consequences there might be from what they created," Balkam said. "But from what I've seen [from Facebook], it does look like an incredibly thoughtful approach."

The preview of Messenger Kids will roll out on iOS in the U.S. on Monday and launch officially by the end of the year. It will come to Android and Kindle in the future.
