"It's so hard, but it helps; they get seen and rescued," she tells PEOPLE. "It's almost impossible to keep up with it. But I'm constantly updated that so-and-so got rescued. So all I keep thinking is if one gets out, that's all I care about."

"They're so focused on these phones and just disappear into this void of scrolling," she says. "They don't really spend time being stimulated by the world and figuring out what they want to do."
