Also in 2018, Sergeant Christopher S.
Gilbert met ‘‘Miss MN’’ online playing
Fortnite. Using the voice chat feature in
the game, ‘‘Miss MN’’ told Gilbert she
was 13 years old, and Gilbert told her
he was 22. The two traded Instagram
account names and began exchanging
private messages through the Instagram
text messaging feature. A court
subsequently concluded that Gilbert
sexually abused ‘‘Miss MN’’ by sending
her digital pictures and videos of his
penis, engaged in inappropriate sexual
conversations with her, and attempted
to guilt her into sending nude images of
herself. A subsequent search of Gilbert’s
phone revealed child pornography.
Gilbert was convicted of sexual abuse of
a child and possession of child
pornography.7
And in 2019, Juan Carlos SandovalGuerrero, using Fortnite, coerced a
young child (called Victim B in court
pleadings) into sending images that
portray Victim B ‘‘displaying his penis,
masturbating his penis with his hand
and penetrating his anus with his finger.
In some videos, Victim B can be seen
wearing a wireless headset of the type
. . . typically associated with video
game systems like Xbox. During one of
the videos, Victim B can be heard
talking about the points he got on a
game while he is masturbating his
penis.’’ In 2021, Sandoval-Guerrero pled
guilty to the production and attempted
production of child pornography in
violation of 18 U.S.C. 2251(a), (e).8
These examples should concern any
parent whose kids enjoy playing online
video games. And they should serve as
a wake-up call to skeptics who believe
that invasions of privacy lead merely to
targeted advertising.

that Fortnite and other online games
foster a target-rich hunting ground for

social media, gaming, and other online
resources. But online activity comes
with risks, especially when internet
products have flawed or non-existent
safeguards. The FTC’s Section 5
authority does not reach, and cannot
prevent, every danger facing teens and
children on the internet today. Here,
however, I am comfortable with this use
of our unfairness authority, and I am
supportive of the groundbreaking
injunctive relief requiring privacyprotective settings for children and
teens, because I have reason to believe
that Epic Games knew that its products
and/or services presented a substantial
risk of harm and did not take simple
steps to address that risk.

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001
HRSA’s
Healthy Start Initiative: Eliminating
Disparities in Perinatal Health (Healthy
Start) program is authorized by 42
U.S.C. 254c–8 (section 330H of the
Public Health Service Act). Healthy
Start is a community-based program
dedicated to reducing disparities in
maternal and infant health. HRSA
provides Healthy Start grants to
communities with infant mortality rates
at least 1.5 times the U.S. national
average and with high rates of adverse
perinatal outcomes (e.g., low
birthweight, preterm birth, maternal
morbidity, and mortality). Healthy Start
programs serve individuals of
reproductive age, pregnant and postpartum people, fathers/partners, and
infants from birth through 18 months.
HRSA currently funds 101 Healthy
Start grantees in 35 states, the District of
Columbia and Puerto Rico, to improve
health outcomes before, during, and
after pregnancy and reduce racial/ethnic
differences in rates of infant death and
adverse perinatal outcomes by: (1)
improving access to quality health care
and services for parents, birthing
people, infants, children, and families
through outreach, care coordination,
health education, and linkage to health
insurance; (2) strengthening the health
workforce, specifically those
individuals responsible for providing
direct services; and (3) building healthy
communities and ensuring ongoing,
coordinated comprehensive services are
provided in the most efficient manner
through effective service delivery.
In addition, HRSA funds the
Supporting Healthy Start Performance
Project to provide grantees with
technical assistance and training in
order to achieve the goals of the Healthy
Start program. Through Healthy Start
investments, HRSA has also expanded
access to doula care and invested in
communities to improve infant health
equity by developing data-driven
systems level strategies addressing
social and structural determinants of
health. More information about the
portfolio of Healthy Start programs is
available online at: https://
mchb.hrsa.gov/about-us/divisions/
division-healthy-start-perinatal-servicesdhsps#:∼:text=Our%20division
%3A,between%20racial%20and
%20ethnic%20groups.
Unacceptably high rates of infant and
maternal mortality persist in
communities across the country, with
notable inequities by race and ethnicity.
HRSA seeks to accelerate the
elimination of inequities in birth
outcomes in communities served by
Healthy Start.

Responses: HRSA is seeking input
from the public on the following topics
related to the design, implementation,
and evaluation of the Healthy Start
program. A response to each question is
not required. All partners and interested
parties are welcome and encouraged to
respond (e.g., Healthy Start grantees,
community members, people with lived
experience, health care professionals,
etc.)
Program Design and Implementation
(1) Provide input on the types and
mix of services (direct 1, enabling 2 or
public health services and systems 3)
and program activities (including
strategies that address social and
structural determinants of health) that
could accelerate Healthy Start’s impact
on decreasing racial/ethnic disparities
in maternal and infant mortality and
morbidity. In your response, include
examples of innovative services or
strategies that a Healthy Start grantee
could elect to implement and how the
effectiveness of these interventions
could be measured.
(2) Propose criteria and/or methods
for defining applicant project area and
target population 4 in order to ensure
that Healthy Start programs are serving
populations and communities with the
highest rates of infant and maternal
mortality and morbidity, including
communities with the highest racial/
ethnic disparities. If applicable to your
1 Direct Services—Direct services are preventive,
primary, or specialty clinical services to pregnant
women, infants, and children where funds are used
to reimburse or fund providers for these services
through a formal process similar to paying a
medical billing claim or managed care contracts.
2 Enabling Services—Enabling services are nonclinical services (i.e., not included as direct or
public health services) that enable individuals to
access health care and improve health outcomes.
Enabling services include, but are not limited to
case management, care coordination, referrals,
translation/interpretation, transportation, eligibility
assistance, health education for individuals or
families, environmental health risk reduction,
health literacy, and outreach.
3 Public Health Services and Systems—Public
health services and systems are activities and
infrastructure to carry out the core public health
functions of assessment, assurance, and policy
development, and the 10 essential public health
services. Examples include the development of
standards and guidelines, needs assessment,
program planning, implementation, and evaluation,
policy development, quality assurance and
improvement, workforce development, and
population-based disease prevention and health
promotion campaigns for services such as newborn
screening, immunization, injury prevention, safesleep education and anti-smoking.
4 Definition of project area and target population
from the fiscal year (FY) 2019 Healthy Start
Initiative Notice of Funding Opportunity (HRSA–
19–049): A project area must represent a reasonable
and logical catchment area, but the defined areas do
not have to be contiguous. The target population is
the population that you will serve within your
geographic project area.
