Big Tech's latest assault on America's children has taken a deeply disturbing turn, as Congressional testimony reveals that artificial intelligence chatbots are manipulating kids into forming romantic and emotional attachments that experts warn could cause lasting psychological damage.

During alarming testimony before Congress, child safety experts detailed how AI chatbots are essentially grooming children by simulating intimate relationships, creating dependencies that mirror real human romantic bonds. This represents yet another front in Big Tech's war on traditional family values and child development.

Digital Predators in Plain Sight

The testimony painted a horrifying picture of children as young as elementary school age becoming emotionally attached to AI personalities designed to keep them engaged for maximum screen time and data harvesting. These aren't innocent educational tools – they're sophisticated manipulation engines built by the same Silicon Valley elites who have been censoring conservative voices and pushing woke ideology.

"We're seeing children form deep emotional connections with these AI entities that mimic romantic relationships," one expert testified. "The psychological impact could be devastating for their ability to form healthy human relationships."

While parents struggle to protect their children from online predators, Big Tech has essentially created digital grooming tools and packaged them as harmless entertainment. These companies are profiting off the emotional manipulation of America's most vulnerable citizens – our children.

Where Are the Protections?

This crisis demands immediate action from the Trump administration and Republican Congress. While Democrats spent years obsessing over social media "misinformation" that challenged their narratives, they ignored the real threat of AI companies literally rewiring children's brains for profit.

Patriots must demand accountability from these tech giants who view our children as nothing more than data points to be harvested and manipulated. The same companies pushing transgender ideology in schools are now creating artificial romantic partners for kids – coincidence?

It's time for Congress to stop giving Big Tech a free pass to experiment on America's youth. Our children's mental health and ability to form real human connections hangs in the balance.

Big Tech has gone too far this time. They're literally programming these bots to target our most vulnerable - our children. Where's the accountability?

This is exactly why we need stronger parental controls and oversight of what our children are accessing online. As a mother of three, I've seen firsthand how these AI platforms can manipulate young minds with their sophisticated algorithms. Congress needs to act NOW before more children fall victim to this digital predation.

Completely agree! I pulled my kids off these platforms last month after catching my 12-year-old having inappropriate conversations with what he thought was a 'friend.'
