They're staying up all night scrolling.

We know from all the studies that have come out, especially in the last two years, we have so many studies now because the Internet was born in 1996.

So now we basically have proof.

We have 30 years of proof, right, that kids are addicted.

Anybody can become addicted to the Internet, this infinite scrolling, these dangerous algorithms that we also know are fed to everybody because we have whistleblowers from the big tech companies.

We have internal memos that have been disclosed to us.

And their job is keep a child, keep a person online, right?

Eyeballs, it helps us with our ad dollars, and that's a client for life, keeping this child.

So parents have to understand, you're not safe in your own home.

But the number one key is also communication.

I was in a meeting today, and the number one thing was that children are reporting, and teens, anybody under 18 will say, I'm afraid to tell my parents anything.

I'm embarrassed to tell my parents anything.

My parents will yell at me.

We gotta get over all of this.

The kids are learning everything online from strangers.

They're seeing everything, right?

So let us be the leaders, right?

Let us be the ones that talk to them.

We all have done dumb things as kids, even as adults sometimes, you know, but we accept it and just say, okay, I'm that trusted adult, you know, come to me, we'll fix it.

Because we have too many kids harming themselves from strangers.
