Episode notes

Teenagers are incredibly hard to approach sometimes. By the time they're 12 and especially by 14, they're not going to want to talk to you about it. There are levels at which you should involve a therapist who specializes in children and adolescents. This was an episode with today that really helped our team wrap our heads around a tough moment this year.

A lot of IRL violence starts with online radicalization. We revisit our conversation with writer and parent Joanna Schroeder, who wrote a guide for parents about what to look out for and how to intervene.

This episode was produced by Avishay Artsy, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Paul Mounsey, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
