You have got to give this woman respect for just coming out and saying it:
"In our community, the age of consent to mental health therapy is 12 years old. So we have laws that enable young people to connect with trusted adults who can support them. That is just so important. It prevents suicide… We serve young people at 13."
There's really no denying it at this point, it would be silly to do so: These people are out to groom kids.
They are interested in targeting vulnerable, isolated young boys and girls and steering them toward dangerous ideologies and behaviors.
Parents: You must be hyper-vigilant in guarding against these dangerous people. Be proactively aware of what your child is doing, where he's going, who he's talking to, who his friends are, what he's doing online.
There have always been bad people willing and eager to harm children. This is nothing new. But the gleefully open way in which so many people are now approaching it is new. And it's much more dangerous, largely because it is normalizing this kind of child abuse at scale.
