    Yes, I miss my mom and it was devastating to me to watch her die in 1990. However, this is not what the article is about. It is about what follows.

    ‘I Miss My Mom’: Children Of QAnon Believers Are Desperately Trying To Deradicalize Their Own Parents

    The 19-year-old started to notice changes in his mother’s behavior around the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. She had always been a nervous woman: She stopped flying after 9/11 and had hovered closely to Sam and his two younger siblings for their entire lives. But during the COVID-19 crisis, his mom’s paranoia spiraled from quirky to deranged……..

    Though she didn’t used to be very political, she now fears the president is a pedophile who stole the election. She’s scared of radiation from the 5G towers in her neighborhood and, as a white woman, she told her son, she’s afraid of being harmed by Black Lives Matter protesters — a movement she once supported. She worries that Sam’s brother and sister are being “indoctrinated” at their public high school and wants to move them to a Catholic one. She’s also refusing to get them immunized against COVID-19 as false rumors swirl that the vaccine contains a secret location-tracking microchip……

    I will not go into more paraphrasing but the artice went from interesting to disturbing to scary. It is a long article and unless you are directly interested it may be too long and with a slant of its own. I don’t know as I did not read it all. The first few pages were interesting as I know a few of my former friends that were drawn into the web. I hope this is useful to someone sometime in the future.
