Just a first gland, what do i expect from a gold digger
Tech companies must be responsible, must act responsible and a legislation must be a regulator.When it comes to kids these kind of apps must be monitorred and reported to parents. Everything should be with parents control.
She is a sadistic actress. If this is true, then why did she allow her kid to continually decline without her intervention. Ironic that he had access to a loaded gun. Something isn't quite right here.
There's literally a filter on the Website or application. C'mon, i would lose my mind if they didn't even read the freaking warnings and reminders. It always said that all conversations are only fake because it's an A.I. I'm starting to hate the news.
She doesn't even look sad. It looks almost like she's enjoying the attention.
Why did he had an access to a gun in a first place??, the app from the start already tells you "remember, everything the characters says is made up!" so who's really to blame but the parents for not monitoring him
Sue your husband or the "man in the mirror" it is your responsibility to know what's going on in your child's life.
I feel sorry for the kid, but that grown ass man, is literally stupid
His Mom can get it
I agree char ai is partly at fault for marketing itself to minors. (There's no way for it to be completely SFW without completely effing over their adult users) But also mom has to take accountability for not monitoring her teen son's internet activity. If it hadn't been char ai, it would've been another chat bot with even less filter (char ai already has the tightest filter compared to other bots). It also states everything they say is made up. In every chat, the message is always there reminding you it's not real.
I'm not proud of how I've used the internet back when I was still a minor but as someone who had unsupervised internet access, I wish my parents had been more aware of what I got myself into. Which was a lot of NSFW content and I can't blame the internet for that, I was the one who searched for it. It was my parents that needed to be more aware bc it's literally a parent's job. Just like this lady who should've been more aware. Especially if your son is already fighting depression.
What an idiot
Isn't this on the parents for not monitoring their depressed kid?
sounds like a big giant lie to me> i CALL BS. and that man he isn't married, Prove it liars! Wont show his family but comes on national television. Please. Oh lets just come out with this news story around "their sacred" month of Halloween. If this story is true then that women should be in jail not on national T.V. Nice try though. You can fool some of the people some of the time but you can't fool all of the people. She provides the evidence by the stories she makes up. Never seen a tear from this women. Not natural just like the story. Weak women gets sympathy instead of indictment for her not being responsible as a parent. And if the story is true perhaps I'm sure the family Court gave her full custody so she can make bank. And now she wants more money to make the pain go away. Oh boo whoo whoo. ( with no tears and this woman always seems to dress in black) And the supposed Father says nothing at all not seen or heard from. I want to hear his side of this fake story. Control the narrative control the emotions. Failed attempt on me. Wake up sheeple! Prosecute this liar! Pay her zero. Hey it's evolution baby! Devil souls manipulate. Gods army exposes truth! I wonder why most of you fall for this crap. Dumb people everywhere running intelligence test on you all and found many clearly lacking. Roll up them sleeves we are in this together. Now do the right thing send the remaining children to the good parent and send her to jail (if this story is even real)! Best interest of the children right?
Yet he was dumb enough to believe she was real.
parents fault.
The fact that a CAI cares about him way more than the real-life people around him.
D!ying over an ai it’s crazy 💀💀
Irresponsible and horrible mother
Dang.
Yep character ai is gettig sued
“I’m breaking up with you”
“NOOOOO”
“I’m breaking up with you mentally”
“I’m ded💀💀💀”
This app didn't "kill" your kid ma'am, It was you're stupidity to not check up on your kid, Nor talk to your kid that was obviously becoming depressed, and reclusive which you stated you had noticed. What a idiot mom 🙁
2:00 how will a damn ai bot notify his parents?? This is situation is just so 😭….
Darwinism
The mother should’ve known that he had access to the gun
All of this would’ve been prevented if she got him the help/therapy
Is she stupid? Nah I'm not being sympathetic to this mother. You're supposed to be supervising your child. The fact that they CLEARLY say everything is MADE UP, shows that they make sure everyone knows it's all FAKE and ROLEPLAY. She's a failure of a mother for not noticing. I'm sorry but I'm NOT sorry.
I don’t believe that the mother is a fool or a villain here. She is mourning and wants justice. Parents aren’t perfect but she was always concerned about her child
You ppl should be ashamed for trying to blame a mother for not knowing her son would kill himself. News flash: 14 year olds dont always tell their moms when they are sad or feeling things. Most bottle it up and hide it very well. Please tell me what are obvious signs of depression because most ppl who kill themselves do it with no warning signs at all. Get off ur high horse and recognize an issue. Maybe dont let 14 year olds talk to chat bots sexually.
