Hi Everybody

 

Parents,

We feel it critically important to discuss the risk of the exposure of kids to the dark side of the internet during this period where many will be at home.

Already, white supremacist, racist and hate channels are actively strategising about how to lure your kids into their world of hate rhetoric. They see your kids as a captive audience at this vulnerable time and they are trying to find ways to indoctrinate kids as young as seven and eight.

Do not be naive to this danger, extremists are proactively and openly discussing ways to infect your kids with hatred for their fellow human beings.

We'll be bringing you info on what to look out for over the coming weeks but we can't emphasise enough how important it is that you monitor what your kids are doing on the net.

In particular we strongly suggest you delete the 'Telegram' and 'BitChute' apps from phones and tablets as these are among the current favourite platforms of Far Right extremists.

Look out for terms like 'red pilling' and 'boogaloo' which may not be words you are familiar with, but take it from us, anybody using them is highly unlikely to be someone you want your child mixing with.

Another early sign to watch out for is questions about the Holocaust that come out of the blue. A known tactic of these far right extremists is to get kids to question the history of the Holocaust, brainwash them into disbelieving it and then using that distrust to drag them deeper and deeper into conspiracy theories and hatred.

.....Trigger warning below this point....

The content shared on these extremist channels (in addition to racism, homophobia, misogyny etc) include torture, animal cruelty, beheading videos, abortion footage, war and famine victims, murder victims, dismembered bodies, videos of rape, footage of child abuse and pretty much every sick thing you can imagine. We spend a good deal of our time flagging up the illegal posts and footage to law enforcement.

Please take this warning seriously. As parents you are all being responsible and taking the physical health of your kids seriously and that is admirable. But you need to take the mental health of your kids just as seriously. Exposure to the filth we at Resisting Hate see day in and day out will have repercussions for your child that are potentially even more dangerous than the virus we are all shielding them from.

Thank you. Please share and help us educate others.
