Deb this broke my heart because of a situation when I was maybe 7. I was a very engaged very protective mom to my 3 both boys and Robin. I never wanted them to know the depravity of the world and this was before the internet. It can only be worse today. I had a person on ig messaging me saying he was an actor I was a fan of but while he knew what to say to things thanks to the internet. I got a weird vibe and quickly blocked him only for him to create account after account messaging me. I finally told him to leave me alone forcefully enough he stopped but what if I wasn't a strong smart person? It's so scary.
This really made me think how lucky we were to have our kids in the sixties and growing.up before the internet; smart phones and tvs took a strangle hold on our youth. Technology as it has advanced is both a blessing and a curse.
