We call for measures to counter the explotative tactics used by some social media influencers (example: Catherinethegrace, catherine_thegrace on TikTok, Instagram, Link Tree, Facebook and YouTube who has a million followers and is making millions of dollars off our children'smental health) they are minipulating minors and young adults into become "ESTRANGED"-The NEW EPIDEMIC, from their own parents and family members. Such coersive behavior is disrupting healthy family dynamics and literally causing a mental health crisis. These influencers are disrupting healthy family dynamics for personal gain or ideological reasons. This is unacceptable and demands a prompt, robust response to protect our vulnerable youth and young adults. We need to safeguard children and young adult's "well being" and this must take precedence over individual agendas that undermine parents rights and familial bonds crucial to a child's development critical for a child and, or adult child's development of the family unit and generations for "financial gain". We are numerous parents who have experienced this new "epidemic" and please need help. We ask for your immediate attention to this matter.
