Somebody is always trying to fool them. A TikTok influencer. An Instagram ad. A stranger in the comments section who wants to cause trouble, because causing trouble gets clicks. These people know what they're doing.

You've tried to warn your child. To get them to see through the nonsense, fake news and toxic lies. But telling them is not enough. They have to watch it play out - see where the lie leads and what it costs someone real - before any of it hits home.

What works is showing them how bad thinking causes tragedies. Twenty-four times, until they catch it themselves. It needs to be funny first, or it never gets read at all.
