Creates penalty for child endangerment via use of social media.

Summary

The bill amends New Jersey’s child‑endangerment law to make it a second‑degree crime for a caregiver, and a third‑degree crime for anyone else, to knowingly act via electronic communication in a way that harms a child under 18. It defines “electronic communication” to include social‑media sites while excluding internet service providers. The change aims to protect children from digital abuse and exploitation.
