Statement 2: "Do you really want to associate with supporters of screen time?"

Why: it attacks or discredits people who support screen time (guilt-by-association) instead of addressing their arguments. The others are not ad hominem — 1 is a factual claim, 3 is an appeal to popularity, and 4 is a slippery‑slope argument.
