Send em. If this behavior doesnt radicalize them, then hope for the future is lost. Just make sure your kid identifies with those being kidnapped and not the jackbooted thugs doing the kidnappings.
It doesn't matter if he's the one being taken away or not, he could still witness it, I could still traumatize him. He could try and fight one of the officers, because my son has no sense of fear and an inflated sense of justice often. These are his friends and classmates.
Trump is tageting the neighboring town for having a trans athlete. Last week, my town was pointed out for being a sanctuary city. Compiling fear.
Trauma doesn't make a person stronger. Trauma doesn't guarantee radicalization.
Thank you for pointing this out to this commenter.
Ok keyboard warrior. Calm down.
