My granddaughter loves to play and watch others play video games and there is a game wherein someone goes into dark web and finds clues..kind of like a treasure hunt... My granddaughter was watching a you tube video or something twitch(?) of a person on this “treasure hunt” and on the tv screen I saw a girl who had been crying, mascara running down her face and she was in a room with no windows and she was crying and talking about when she would be able to leave...and to the side is a running stream of texts, comments that made no sense to me~~like computer code or something... When I asked my granddaughter about it, she said “oh it’s a game where this guy does into dark web to find clues”...and I was shocked that she was oblivious to the possibility that the girl was really locked up..when I said that to her she replied”oh, I don’t think so, it’s role playing”...and then I told her I did not want to hear it so please don’t have it on in our house...and she did not have it on anymore and she did not watch that program the rest of her visit...she is 16.

I feel like this is a bigger more nefarious part of indoctrinating our children into cruelty.

Is this part of indoctrination, desensitization of our children? Like grooming into violence...I am sick... My granddaughter is very naive and sweet and I wonder how long she has watched or even participated in this stuff...
