A Daughter’s Dilemma Becomes a Coding Adventure
It all started when my seven-year-old daughter, Melanie, got stumped on a school quiz: “How many sides does a nonagon have?” She loved how we previously built a word game together using AI, so she asked if we could make a shapes game to help her (and other kids) practice. Challenge accepted!
Together, we explained our goal to an AI assistant:
-
Make a fun, interactive quiz that helps kids count and remember the sides of shapes, from triangles up to decagons (and beyond!).
-
Include a playful scoring system: if you answer incorrectly, you get an X—but you can “repair” it into a star if you figure out the right answer later.
-
Keep it interesting for older kids, too. She wanted difficulty levels to grow, so it wouldn’t be too easy.
The result? Melanie AI—a geometry-learning game that she’s super proud to share. You can try it here:

But that’s only half the story.
Why This Game Comes with a Radiation Warning
If you visit the site on a small-screen mobile device, you’ll see a microwave radiation warning front and center. Not because the game itself emits anything dangerous, but because of the devices we use to access it—and the environment in which our kids are learning.
Melanie’s school is 465 feet from a cell tower, a distance that’s about one-third of the 1,500-foot safety perimeter recommended by the BioInitiative Report. But the real problem isn’t just the tower—it’s the device in your child’s hand, the router in their classroom, and the unseen microwave pulses that continuously bombard them.
Every time a child holds a smartphone or tablet actively transmitting data (through Wi-Fi or cellular signals), they’re exposed to microwave radiation at point-blank range—often for hours a day, right next to their developing brain.
This game is different because it’s designed to run offline. Parents can:
-
Load the page using Wi-Fi (or ethernet, if possible).
-
Switch the device into airplane mode, turning off all transmitters (cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth).
-
Hand it to their child to learn, play, and explore shapes—minus the constant radiation exposure.
This is a small but powerful step toward safer learning environments.
The Bigger Picture: Fraudulent Guidelines and Unconstitutional Laws
A. Outdated, Thermal-Only FCC Standards
In 1996, the FCC adopted thermal-only guidelines for wireless radiation, effectively ignoring all evidence of non-thermal biological effects. Worse yet, those guidelines have barely changed despite:
-
1971 U.S. Navy Report – Documenting hundreds of non-thermal biological effects.
-
Arthur Guy, U.S. Air Force (1984) – Demonstrating RF-induced effects not tied to heat.
-
Henry Lai & N.P. Singh (1995) – Finding DNA strand breaks in rat brains at exposure levels below thermal thresholds.
-
CTIA’s Own $25 Million Study – Industry-funded research that found hazards but was buried.
-
Yale University (2012) – Prenatal wireless exposure caused ADHD-like symptoms in baby mice.
-
NTP & Ramazzini – Linked low-level RF exposure to cancer, defying the industry’s “no harm” stance.
In 2021, a U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that the FCC failed to show its guidelines protect public health, especially for children. Yet the rules—and daily exposure—march on unchanged.
B. Section 704 of the Telecom Act: A Constitutional Crisis
That same year (1996), Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act was introduced. It prohibits local governments from rejecting cell towers based on health or environmental concerns—effectively overriding both the First Amendment (right to petition) and the Tenth Amendment (states’ rights). Communities can’t protest towers on health grounds, no matter how many studies show danger to kids.
It was a corporate takeover of public policy—and our children are paying the price.
We Need Real Leadership—and We Need It Now
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., now heading Health and Human Services, has long spoken about corporate capture of federal agencies. This issue is a prime example. We call on him to:
-
Overhaul the FCC’s fraudulent thermal-only standards and acknowledge non-thermal biological effects.
-
Mandate safer tech in schools, like Li-Fi or ethernet, so kids aren’t bathed in Wi-Fi radiation all day.
-
Restore constitutional rights for local communities to decide if a tower belongs near classrooms.
-
Protect children’s health over telecom profits.
Parents, teachers, and concerned citizens alike must demand lower-EMF solutions. Whether it’s disabling wireless features when not in use, using hardwired connections at home, or pushing for Li-Fi in classrooms—we have the power to protect the next generation.
How to Use Melanie AI Safely
-
Load the game: Go to https://www.rfsafe.com/class/shapes/.
-
Switch to Airplane Mode: Turn off cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.
-
Let kids play: They can enjoy all the shapes, quizzes, and star-repairs without the constant microwave pulses.
-
Spread the word: Share the game—and the warning—with other parents.
Final Thoughts: Protecting Our Children, One Shape at a Time
Melanie AI might look like a simple game for remembering how many sides a nonagon has, but it carries a powerful message:
Our children deserve safe environments, free from unnecessary radiation—and our outdated, unconstitutional policies must be reformed to guarantee that safety.
Whether it’s 465 feet or 4,650 feet from a tower, we must pay attention to what’s in their hands and above their heads. Let’s be proactive, demand real change, and make sure that the next time our kids pick up a device to learn, they aren’t gambling with their health.
