## Resource

Your child is messaging neo-Nazis on Discord, role-playing the Columbine shooting on Roblox, or making fan art of mass killers, and you have no idea. That is the pattern Matthew Turner, an emergency medicine physician at Hershey Medical Center, is now seeing in his pediatric ER, where parents bring in children after spotting a chat-message leak that exposes months of online radicalization. He discusses the KevinMD article " The true crime community is radicalizing kids online ." You'll hear how the true crime community pulls kids as young as eight from casual interest into obsession, imitation, and sometimes real-world violence, with one 14-year-old going on to commit a mass shooting. You'll learn which warning signs matter, why parental firewalls don't work, and the named resources clinicians and parents can use right now, including Parents for Peace, the Prevention Practitioners Network, and the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism. If you treat children or raise them, this conversation names a threat hiding inside platforms you already let them use. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform .
