Is social media addictive, especially for minors?

That's the question at the heart of a trial underway right now in Los Angeles.

In that case, a woman who's now 20 years old is suing, claiming that social media is addictive and

thousands of other similar lawsuits. Earlier this week, Jessica Rosenthal spoke to Maureen

Molak, whose son committed suicide after intense cyberbullying through apps he couldn't stop using.

Mollack explained how she thinks her son got addicted and how that addiction changed his behavior.

I'm leaning on my own experience of seeing David, my son, addicted to social media and online gaming,

which happened after a serious basketball injury.
