Experts urge parents to prepare kids for possible livestreamed execution
Experts say parents should prepare for children to encounter graphic footage or discussion of the rare military execution through broadcasts and social media.
- President Trump approved the Dec. 3 execution of Nidal Malik Hasan by firing squad at Fort Hood, though he said he will soon make a decision on the plan to livestream the event.
- Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, was convicted of killing 13 people in 2009 at Fort Hood; the U.S. military has not carried out the death penalty since 1961.
- With young kids, parents should focus on reassurance, said Jill Murphy of Common Sense Media, while Dr. David Rosenberg of Wayne State University School of Medicine advises asserting parental authority by restricting access to footage.
- Emails over two days asking the White House for comment on children seeing the execution went unanswered, while YouTube prohibits content that is 'violent or gory' or 'intended to shock or disgust viewers.'
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Real America's Voice that "there's serious consequences for these types of things," as Experts warn graphic video could be clipped and pushed into children's social feeds regardless of livestream restrictions.
