Zach Wilson’s mom, Lisa, decried the dangers of social media on Sunday in a lengthy Instagram clip.
In the video that spans nearly 30 minutes, Lisa is seen in a kitchen elaborating on the threat of online predators, detailing how an apparent incident hit close to home.
“I had reached a point in my life that I thought I had mastered parenting,” Lisa captioned the video, later adding, “I thought I had done all the things to teach her to recognize danger. I thought I had blocked her from outside influences and I mean she was my kid, so even if someone got in, she knew what to do. I was wrong. I completely underestimated the degree of evil that was possible, in a little electronic device, I personally placed in my baby girls hand.”
