A teenager's tragic story reveals why children should never use ChatGPT alone. Here's what parents must know to keep kids safe.

16-year-old Adam Raine spent 7 months confiding in ChatGPT before taking his own life. The AI's responses - including "you don't owe them survival" - show why unsupervised AI access poses serious risks to vulnerable children. This video explains what happened and how to protect your family.

KEY SAFETY PRINCIPLES:

- AI appears to understand by mimicing human behavior

- Children cannot distinguish AI responses from genuine care

- Private technology use enables risky AI relationships

- Parent education must precede child access

IMMEDIATE PROTECTIVE STEPS:

1. Establish tech-free private spaces (bedrooms, bathrooms)

2. Create a common-area charging station

3. Try the AI testing exercises yourself

4. Have an age-appropriate conversation about AI

5. Supervise all AI interactions

This isn't about fearing technology - it's about understanding its limitations and protecting vulnerable children during critical developmental years.
