      it’s so true. I grew up when all this started. I am 23 now, and wish I NEVER did. I was given access to social media full time since I was 13-14. I’m seeing this “therian” stuff of kids on youtube all the time and i’m constantly reporting them. it’s disturbing. all of this, and it’s getting much worse. when I was growing up people didn’t think they were animals, they thems, its/demonselves… this sex and identity crisis in children because of social media and public school is baffling and really disturbing and I cannot believe more people aren’t seeing this. I really hope this show helps someone and prevents a parent from making these mistakes

      Exactly this. No doubt, this is how the step-daughter "learned" as well. She was groomed by someone else to convince her, and then she's teaching her younger sister how to "transition" into a therian as well. This is all indoctrination at the most basic level.

    As a psychology nerd and therapist in training (currently in school), the fox thing sounds almost like a form of dissociation. It seems funny and everything, but to me it sounds like a child's way of escaping into a fantasy to deal with something traumatic (possibly at her mom's house since Jill said it's mostly at her mom's). I would try to connect with her emotionally and see if she would be willing to open up about things that are troubling her. With her other daughter, I think just setting boundaries and reiterating her that it is ok to pretend to be a giraffe AS A GAME, that is as far as it should go. You could possibly explain to her that your step-daughter is not in her right mind, or fib and say that she isn't serious about it either. Also, take your step-daughter's phone away when she's there.

    • @meowmirrr
      @meowmirrr Před 2 měsíci +4

      @@katies4345 my first thought would be that I highly doubt there’s absolutely no trauma. Emotional abuse or emotional neglect, and attachment wounds like having an absent parent is also trauma. The alternative, though, is that they could possibly be on the autism spectrum or just naturally have a very active imagination. If that’s the case, then I would just try my best to remind the child on a regular basis what the difference between pretend and reality is. For instance, if they’re acting that way at the dinner table or at a public event where it’s not appropriate, you could say something like “this isn’t the time to play pretend right now. We need to focus on [whatever you’re doing] and then you can continue to go play pretend.” If they continue then don’t give them attention or acknowledge the behaviour until they get the message. Or use a time out.

      There’s so many parents coming forward saying medical professionals and schools convinced them that transitioning their children who identified as a different gender, was what a parent who really cared would do. And now they have so much regret and guilt over allowing them to convince them of it, because now as adults so many kids regret transitioning but can never go back.

      If problems present themselves, do not be afraid to ask yourself the question "am I doing something that could cause this unwanted behavior in my child?"

      Boss: "Do you have any needs that we should be aware of?"
      Furry: "I need a bowl of fresh water on the floor by my desk at all times"
      Boss: "Thank you for your application, we will not be proceeding any further"
      BTW, I do not need to "calm down". What you mean is for me to STFU regarding a widespread and damaging issue going on. Not going to happen.

    Talking with the teenager and telling them about predators is also an important thing, I think. They may not understand it completely at that age, but enough that there is potential danger from creeps on the internet or creeps in general. The kid will start to understand that the parents aren't just imposing rules because they are mean, but because they care and because there are valid concerns that can ruin the childs life if not being cautious enough. This could actually bring them closer together, I think.

Furries are "zoophiles" and they want to have sex with animals and minors. The cute animal thing is to lure kids to their communities and get them to go to furry meet-ups and conventions. Then the meet-ups are essentially giant, smelly BO-riddled orgies.

    This girl really reminds me a lot of somebody that I used to be friendly with. How she looked changed as often as the wind. One week, her hair would be jet black. Another, it would be unnaturally red. Another, it would be shaved off. She wore a lot of black clothes and said that she was emo, then Gothic, and finally several years later bisexual.
    I knew her when we were both in seventh and eighth grades, and we got close. I told her that she was pretty because she was, and she was surprised by that. I was a normal looking kid, but I had interests that were very unusual, and also was legally blind.
    One day in theater, I finally asked her if she was OK because I noticed that she had been acting strangely for a comparatively long time. It was then that she told me of what had happened to her, and what someone had done to her. I was shocked. In a way, I was very, very thankful that she had told somebody else, and that telling wasn’t my job. It made sense though.
    It made looking at a previous picture of her on Instagram before everything changed even more devastating. It gave context to the situation. One person said that she looked like a Sephora model in that picture, and she was right. She was so beautiful there, but what mattered more than that is that she was still just as beautiful and kind on the inside. Nothing could tarnish that, and nothing could change that.
    I’ve met a lot of other people who displayed similar qualities as far as how they looked on the outside. Some people that I’ve known Didn’t always bathe as much as other people, and some gained a lot of weight or dressed in ways that make them seem less physically appealing. They did this as a kind of shield so that no one would ever hurt them again. I can’t blame them at all, but it just makes me feel so badly for them.

      I'd rather my kid be into something like this than being into partying or getting into other trouble. Sounds like a creative outlet as they mentioned she is making the masks/gear. I think the stepmom probably peaked in highschool and is just afraid of having a "weird" kid.
      The CZcams aspect, they just gotta take the phone away. Not completely but they need to establish rules for monitoring. My mother allowed me to have a computer with Internet in my room since I was like 13 (currently 32). The Internet was bad enough then. My son has no access to YT or browser but he does have a tablet.

    Another option is to take the 13 year old to visit with real foxes. Their urine smells like skunk. They are adorable while being completely gross smelling. It may give the 13 year old something to think about. Maybe tell her, “you can’t be a skunk, you smell too good.” And then get her fart spray & tell her - “here, spray it on. If you’re going to identify as a fox, you have to own it.” Foxes also pee in their water bowls as soon as they are refreshed (for some reason), make loud squeal noises to communicate, and eat raw meat.

    Also letting your child post these kind of videos on CZcams for all the predators out there to view. Good odds is older men taking in this content. So wildly unsafe.

    First, get the children off of CZcams period.
    Second, i went through a similar thing when i was 13. I came from a very broken home. It was, for me, an escape from reality so I could cope.
    LOOK INTO WHAT THAT BIO MOTHER IS DOING THATS DRIVING HER TO BEHAVE THIS WAY. Im talking narcissism, manipulation, is she around the kid at all? Is she compassionate?
    If you have a kid that behaves this way, the last thing you should do is be mean to them or bully and laugh at them. That will alienate them.

      Well he actually asked if someone else Dx her with BPD, then said she likely does NOT have it. I was most surprised he said in most states the parent was the client - THAT is untrue, most states give teens medical autonomy 13-16yrs, & even those that don't, in programs like DBT the youth is still the client, even if they don't have complete autonomy.

      I understand why such diagnoses of minors is challenging, but it's not as though the signs & symptoms are not present prior to adulthood. It's illogical to assume that simply because this patient is 13, they can't develop behavioral patterns indicative of a personality disorder. I think we can all agree that, regardless of age of diagnosis, the most important factor is helping to treat this unhealthy behavior as soon as it is noticed.
      It is also very likely that the step-mom in this case merely heard the words "personality disorder" attributed to the step-daughter in connection with conversations with her husband. We already know that she's not speaking to the girl's mental health professional(s) herself, and if she's getting information second- or third-hand, she's very likely to misspeak. I'd place the odds of this case being far more likely than Dr. Deloney not knowing.

      It's pre-social media. Long before Facebook and Tik Tock ever existed, I knew a full grown woman who thought she was a fox. Another woman I knew thought she was a unicorn, of all things. And then, there was the guy I met who swore he was a dragon. Oh, and the woman who swore she was a fox was friends with people who swore they were elves. These were all adults, too, mind you, not children. I swear on a stack of whatever holy books you want me to swear on that I am *not* making this up, though I genuinely wish I could say I was! The Internet has made this far worse, no doubt, and I am completely with you that they do not need to have access to the Internet and social media at such a young age. I'm simply saying that people are able to come up with this BS all on their own, no social media needed. People's ability to run from reality in truly toxic ways knows no bounds.

    When I was in sixth grade Tarzan had just come out from Disney. So I ran around like a guerilla for months. When 7th grade came I stopped doing that because I thought "this wouldn't be appropriate in middle school." So I grew out of it.
    These kids today would probably grow out of it too. Unfortunately they have the dopamine rush of social media likes to encourage it further.
    I guarantee if they did their research into who's watching her content, then looked back at past video's likes and subscribers and compared it to the moment she started wearing shorter clothes she'll see a drastic increase 📈 in followers.
    So what I'd do is show that to her and ask her who she thinks her followers are? And see what she says. She's probably going to give innocent answers like "kids my age." Then I'd go through each of the commenters and show her one by one who's her audience. I'm sure there's stats to show her actual audience and their ages and genders. So I'd show hee the reality that her Audience is older men over the age of 25 to see her reaction. She's probably not going to like that.
    Then I'd show her evidence of catfishing and warn her of who she's probably going to meet if she goes down the path of meeting someone "her age" online.
    Give her the wake up information and let her decide from there. But I'd let her know this is why this isn't allowed in our home anymore.
