Exactly.

How many of our children were lost to Tumblr?

Many, even those in the GC therapy field, do not seem to understand how vulnerable youth can be brainwashed into this. And since we have a "gender affirming" cultural beast giving credence to pseudoscience in medicine, therapy, government, schools and TRAs, how can vulnerable youth keep it from indoctrinating them?

Exactly: "As youth digital safety advocate Officer Gomez says, “don’t confidently believe your parenting is stronger than billion-dollar social media algorithms.” And if your child is on the Autism spectrum, they are at far greater risk of being radicalized. It can be alluring to socialize online with people where there is no need for eye contact, reading social cues, or body language, along with feeling a sense of belonging."

My daughter (on the autism spectrum) has vanished and gone "off-grid", so I may never see her again either. Early on, she was on social media around the clock...

Also, another mistake so many of us made was thinking "my child is way too smart to fall for something like this".

Great point. I’ve got two genius-level kids, both of whom fell to this mind virus. I too thought they were too smart to fall for this insanity, but I was wrong.
