Well, it happened.
It’s even made me question the way I’ve made some mom choices.
Cutting to the chase: I think my 14-year-old was lured into a teen self-harm group – which is bad enough, but to make matters worse, the group may be linked to some kind of sex trafficking gang or occult. Maybe that sounds like a stretch, but at this point, I don’t care what it is—I just want my daughter as far away from it as possible.
Good Morning from California SoCalledMom 🙂
My name is Dace, Ive just got turned on to your blog today acctually, which also happends to be my birthday. I wanted to tell you, that I believe your decision to take away your childrens electronics, bring her back to baseline and rebuild, is the best way to help children who face internet addiction and social media mind control. As a 25 year old woman with a 1 year old son, I face social media mind control as well. It is a debilitating situation that as a parent I struggled with harshly. For having all this freedom and lacking self control, my days are hard to deal with now. I wish my parents had a mind to control my internet usage and content awareness. Now that I am older, I really could use the help of someone with more will than me to help me shut it all off. Thank you for posting this, I really needed to find you.
Have a wonderful Sunday. I think you are doing a great job 🙂
Love from a struggling new mom,
Dace
Well HAPPY BIRTHDAY! It is lovely to read your comment. The internet is a blessing and a curse and I think that (well, I feel like I can honestly say I KNOW that) there is a very different usage that is happening by my kids that I am unable to wrap my head around. So unfortunately/fortunately for them, the best response is pulling the plug as much as possible. Without a complete cut off–or just moving to a deserted island like the Swiss Family Robinson (which I used to dream about when I was a kid). So glad to meet you too! xo, Kristen
Would like to share this word of warning on my own blog. My own daughter got lured into a very dark place with self harm and drugs – only it was from another girl in real life. Took a bit of legal intervention, some counseling and a lot of daddy-daughter time to get her back on track.
