Ep 74. Mom saves radicalized son from ending his life

Dana's 14-year-old freshman son was watching violent gore content on social media for 12 hours each day. She finally got him hospitalized hours before he planned to end his life.

Guest: Dana Grueser, mother. As someone who nearly lost my son to online radicalization by 764 & NVE, I spotlight dangers caused by addictive, unrestrained tech & help others prioritize real world experiences.

Guest: Allizandra Herberhold, LMSW, works with radicalized, at-risk, and violent teens and young adults to prevent mass shootings and counter violent extremism.
