14 fucking years old. My daughter is 14 years old and the most violent thing she’s ever planned is where to drop in Fortnite. The radicalization of our children - especially young boys - is unbelievably scary and not enough people are talking about it.
I agree, nut as a father of a 14 (and 17) year old son, I can’t imagine my sons (or their friends) doing something like this. So in my world view, maybe, not a lot of boys are really radicalized?
It doesn’t have to go as far as planning a terrorist attack. Most young boys who are radicalized will not do that. They probably appear normal or perhaps troubled.
