agent leave reality. not satisfied with current state of mind, high, buzz dollars, blasted whatever. some adults canie handle that on occasion, some cannot. it's literally russian ryu lead. but putting intoxicating agents in the hands ofon children can be devastating. according to research by the society for the study of addiction, teenagers using marijuana before the age of 18 are two to four times more likely to develop psychosis compared to those who don't. one in six children who try pot will become addicted according to the national institutes of health, latest study by that organization says that nearly 2% of seniors in american high schools right now admit to smoking marijuana recently. that's an incredible stat. so why is this all happening? one of the reasons is because a pot legalizers have made the drug glamorous and a the media has played along. celebrities like snoop dogg, willie nelson and miley cyrus flaunt. very few speak out against it now more bad news. combine the drug aspecht with the internet.

according to the report by the american academy of peed at tricks, 75% of 12 to 17-year-olds in the u.s.a. have cell phones and virtually all of them text. 33% of teenagers send more than 100 text messages a day. and 66% of teens say their parents have impose nod rules regarding texting at all. there is a kicker. study by the university of winnipeg in canada says students who text more than 100 times ahe day are 30% less likely to be ethical or principled in life. are we getting all this? young people in america are combining drugs alcohol and high tech to build false lives to run away from reality. in china young people are encouraged to compete be disciplined, to live in the real world not here. and, again very few voices speaking out against drug and tech abuse. this is an epidemic that will lead to a weaker nation. anybody who tells youis

differently is lying to you. that's the memo.at now for the top story tonight, reaction. joining us from newberry point, massachusetts dr. keith ablow a psychiatrist. here in new york cityty dr. karl hart. author of the book high price. all right. kids and pot. you don't recommend that, right? >> of course not. >> i don't recommend kids taking alcohol or smoking tobacco. >> any intoxicants at all bad for them? >> that's right. >> so we he have some common ground? >> absolutely. anybody who can think would agree with you. >> all right. thank you. and i appreciate that. texting. you know it's an addiction. it's going crazy. are you aware of that right? >> no, i'm not aware that it's an addiction. >> you don't think text something an addiction among some children now. >> it all depends on how you define addiction. >> they have to do it and. >> you are compelled to do this show every day. >> i get paid to do this show i wouldn't do it if i didn't get paid to do it.

it's not a compulsion it's a business decision. >> you get paid to do it. >> yeah. >> there is a reason for you to do it. >> is there a reason for a kid. >> does not disrupt what you are doing. >> if you had a son or daughter. >> i do i have three boys. >> in their teens. >> two in the teens. >> and if they are texting more than 100 times a day you don't have a problem with that. >> the thing is i have a kid in ivy league institution a teenager. my main sort of concern is how well he does in school. he texts quite a bit but he also gets all a's in school. >> yeah, but i don't know -- you want the whole child to develop not just. >> precisely you just said it. >> i don't know if the text something leading to that dr. ablow you see it differently. i see a coming storm here, a tsunami building with the drugs, the soft drugs the pot. and the high tech abuse. i think it's abuse. i think the kids texting 100 times aday. that's abuse go. >> absolutely. this is a perfect storm. we have talked about this, bill. i have written about it. you have written about it. bott

this is a fox news alert the arraignment of the woman that helped the two men escape in new york is underway. let's listen in. >> first degree criminal facilitation charge in violation of section 115 subdivision one of the penal law and in the state of new york. do you waive a more formal

>> you want to allocate that between the two offenses? >> sorry. >> do you want to allocate those between two offenses? >> no, your honor, just ask that you impose the $200,000 on felony charge, excuse me, misdemeanor charge i ask that you set bail in the amount of $50,000 to $100,000 cash. >> the journal will reflect. >> the court requests to meet again monday morning to details submitted. if there is determination monday -- >> we'll put the matter over to monday morning at 8:30.

>> so it looks like arraignment is going to be at 8:30 monday morning, 8:30 a.m she'll remain in the custody of the sheriff. 51-year-old joyce mitchell accused of helping convicted murderers escape from the up state correctional facility. standing by is molly line outside of city court. >> well you know, joyce mitchell has been the central figure in this investigation over seven days. investigators saying they felt she'd befriended the inmates and felt she played a role. then we came to found out she was intended to be get away driver but had a change of heart at the last minute

the district attorney has said that she brought contraband are one of the charges she's facing. two charges promoting prison contraband and criminal facilitation. he won't be specific about what that is he has said that it's not power tools. in this case, it's been widely believed there were power tools to get out of prison. meanwhile, they're still on the run. still out there somewhere, investigators do not know where they are. they've been scouring outside around the prison about two miles away. they've established this zone as the rainfalls and wind comes down we saw the team out all along the rural roads to check the citizens and still on the hunt for the two figures the allegation is that she had initially befriended both of the men and been previously

investigated for having a relationship with one of them. that was the younger man david sweat. it was determined that it wasn't enough findings in that investigation but sweat was, they were separated during her job there at the prison as a tailor. we know what occurred now and the investigation continues. as you mentioned, mitchell back in court later on setting another time, and we'll be getting more information as this goes forward we're expecting to get more details, more specifics, after she is officially arraigned and we get documents. >> thank you. she'll be arraigned on monday at 8:30 but bail has been set at i believe $100000. correct? >> has bail been set at $100,000? >> that is what i believe they said sounded like. at $100,000, bond, $200,000?

>> $100,000 bail? >> yes. yes. that is correct. sorry we're having audio issues so wanted to double check. >> yes. >> molly thank you very much for that report. >> you got it. >> joining us now for insight on this massive manhunt do we have pat rossmond with us? once again, 51-year-old joyce mitchell has just appeared in the city court house. and they are setting bail at $100,000. she's been arraigned. they'll be meeting at 8:30 monday morning. the bond has been set. the bail has been set at $100,000 cash, $200000 bond. and molly is with us at the city court. molly, what more do you have for us?

>> yes. well, one of the things interesting about this case is that they said joyce mitchell is one piece of the puzzle and one fraction of the investigation. there is so much they don't know. they're accusing her of bringing contraband in working with the two individuals and some way assisting them. but they're questioning other people that worked at the prison. they're trying to leave no stone unturned they said. in a press conference this afternoon one state police said directly to the inmates that are still on the loose we're coming for you. and we'll not stop until you're caught. i can tell you the terrain out there these investigators are dealing with is difficult. this up state new york area here in the area, a place known for white water rafting. really difficult terrain the woods are incredibly thick. there is swamp and muck. and there has been grid searches

where a scent was believed to have been picked up by dogs wednesday night into thursday morning. that is how long they've reached 2 to 3 miles in this area. they've been focusing there. they're dealing not just with horrible weather, but black flies, mosquitos swamplands and exhaustion of something going on for the seven day of searching. i had an opportunity to speak to neighbors and residents that are in that search area and in the perimeter. they're weary of this and would like to see it end they're supportive of the law enforcement they see in front yards and backyards and streets. a tremendous amount of road blocks people have to stop several times when going from place to place. one things neighbors have said it's not just nerve wracking to stay home, but just to life

home, to go to the grocery store picking up milk. and they say they have to search to know no one is actually there physically in their abode we've had stories about families sleeping in one room, keeping their children and pets close. another theme we're hearing from residents is that quote, they're locked and loaded. numbers told us this is a big area for hunting. they do have weapons and ready to defend their families if they feel like they may need to. >> yes. now, i'm sure that by now, the escapees are cold wet hungry, tired and getting more desperate by the moment. i can imagine anyone living in that area is just on edge of just not knowing what they can do next or where they may come looking for any of the things they need to feed themselves and protect themselves at this

point. >> well, it's possible that they're out there in the forest and cold, wet, and hungry. but investigators have said they don't have a confirmed sighting. they do not know where the men are and don't know they've left the area te don't know they're not hunkered down warm, dry and watching television. so there is so much unknown here. and the idea that they, that there is an assurance they're in the swampland in these areas or this perimeter isn't necessarily a full confidence. we've seen them searching close to the prison wall, going into the tunnels and my producer saw a dog pulled up out of the tunnel and shaking off today. so they're searching miles from the prison and still looking around the air.

>> 51-year-old joyce mitchell has been arraigned, accused of helping convicted murderers escape from that new york state correctional facility. and again she's being charged with first degree promoting prison contraband which is a felony. fourth degree criminal facilitation, a misdemeanor, and both charges could have her up to possible 7 to 8 years of jail time. she was a supervisor of the tailor shop where they were working and supposed to be driving their get away car. this was apparently being planned for months. but she had a panic attack and ended up in the hospital. authorities are thinking they headed for the woods. people have been searching. it's now seven days so we're about to go to a break we'll have more as we learn more and after this break we'll be

going back to the "o'reilly factor." stay with us. if you teach someone to fish, you might never see them again. this summer, join the movement and take someone fishing. there's no better place to get someone started than the bass pro shops gone fishing event. go online to learn more.

this is a fox news alert. the prison worker believed to have helped two convicted killers escape from prison appearing in court for the first time tonight. 51-year-old joyce mitchell arraigned moments ago. she pleaded not guilty to first degree promoting prison contraband and mitchell is

accused of befriending the escapees at the clinton correctional facility and giving them contraband. one charge carries a prison sentence of up to seven years. more than 800 state, federal and local law enforcement are searching for the convicted killers who have been on the run since saturday. now back to the "o'reilly factor". factor follow up segment tonight, while many americans want to legalize marijuana, evidence continues to mount that it is devastating if children use it new study by the australian government says if teenagers use pot daily they are 60% less likely to graduate high school, also they are seven times more likely to attempt suicide. in addition, a book by former secretary of health joseph how to raise a drug free kid says today's pot is

10 times more potent than the stuff the hippies were using back in the 1960s joining us from seattle psychiatrist dr. nick weis and dr. daniel glover, also a psychiatrist that deals with children. i believe marijuana is dangerous to american kids and that fact is what i i believe has been understated by the media dr. or am i wrong. >> you are right. we have been hearing in the media about illnesses. what we know about marijuana in the teen brain is one in every six teens will become addicted to marijuana. long-term marijuana use effects problem-solving memory and iq. in one study that was done in colorado, what we found was that 75% of youth in a treatment center were getting their marijuana from adults with legal marijuana registration cards. so it's become more accessible. it's become more socially accept tillable and i think

it's a big problem. >> could you concur? >> i agree it's a significant problem and certainly the harms of marijuana on the adolescent brain are being increasingly documented and at the same time teens see it as less risky than ever, less risky than they ever did before. they see it as less risky than alcohol. they see it as less risky than cigarettes. and so that inevitably is going to lead them towards increased use. >> okay. so you are in washington state, which now has legalized marijuana. and teenagers then pick up that okay, so if the old folks can smoke it, why can't i? that's just normal. that's what they did with alcohol and that's what they are doing with marijuana. and as dr. bober pointed out, the studies say that people with -- buying legal marijuana are giving it to the kids. we expect that to happen in every state that legalizes do we not dr. weis? >> well, the use of marijuana by teens is really

a nationwide issue. >> i understand that almost taking on tsunami like proportions because it's been glamorized by the media. no question it has been. >> the real shame is that the risks haven't been acknowledged. >> that's part of the glamourization. >> teens really do need to know about those risks. >> to hear it but the media doesn't want to do it because the media wants it legalized. dr. bober, when you see a child and as you said 15% of all-american teenagers of all stripes become addicted to marijuana. when you see this happen, it's not something that's easily overcome, is it? >> no, it's not. and there is a lot of evidence that suggests that marijuana is a gateway drug to other drugs. and the younger they start the worse it is. so this is really a conversation that we need to be having and we need ofocus on both aspects of the argument. >> what about the freedom aspect of it? you know, americans who want legalized marijuana say look, i can do what i want

with my own body and i'm an adult and all of, this and society is putting marijuana users in jail, which is a falsehood. we have debunked that here that's a powerful argument that the media has embraced. >> i think if you are an adult, you should be able to do what you want, the indirect effect that's having is teens are getting their hands on marijuana and we know that teens have a developing brain and particularly sensitive to the effects of marijuana. and that puts us all at risk when we put our kids at risk. >> and dr. weis, when you spoke marijuana it's a pretty pungent situation so you can't do it if you are an adult in the home without your kids knowing about it very famous person told me that's his great regret that he smoked marijuana and his children knew it even though he did it in another room in private, they smelled it and then they got involved with drugs and he feels guilty about it so i think that's inevitable is it not? >> well, it is often a multigenerational issue and it's true that if adults

don't act as role models for their kids and also dialogue with their kids about the harms of drugs then kids are going to follow in their footsteps and make bad choices. we really need to mobilize parents and other responsible adults to get involved in the lives of kids in a deep way in a way when they talk about the risks of marijuana those kids are actually going to listen. >> if he he they're using it at the same time and friends have legalized it and the media is glamorizing it, it's an awful lot for a kid to overcome. it really is the curiosity factor alone. as you said, once a teenage mind or the child mind gets involved with intoxicants boom, their childhood is over. doctors, thank you. when we come right back, cyber bullying, it's a big problem these days, we talked to dr. david swimmer and senator mccain daughter megan. >> kids skip school because
