Cum ajung copiii, prin TikTok și Roblox, în comunități în care criminalii sunt idoli. Ce este True Crime Community

The recent school attack in Bistrița by a 13-year-old has highlighted the influence of online platforms like TikTok and Roblox on youth. These platforms can lead children to communities that idolize criminals, particularly within the True Crime Community (TCC). This online space ranges from casual interest in real crimes to admiration for violent offenders, where some individuals are romanticized and seen as role models. Matei Vrabie from Funky Citizens discusses how these materials circulate online and the importance of parental awareness in protecting children from such influences. Research indicates that while many engage with true crime content for educational purposes, a concerning subset glorifies violence and criminality, transforming it into a means of gaining popularity.
