Jacobina Coonan, Fear and Child Abuse in Media
A $1,000 donation from Jacobina Coonan in the Netherlands prompts a discussion about the psychological impact of fear-based media on children. Coonan shares the story of her brother's suicide 50 years ago due to nuclear war anxiety, drawing parallels to modern fears surrounding climate change and COVID-19. The hosts characterize the constant state of alarm as "child abuse at the highest order."
