Talking to your child about Andrew Tate
One dad shares his experience talking to his son about the controversial influencer. How does he recommend staring to unpick the influence one man's had over his child?
Many of us first learnt about the divisive online personality Andrew Tate when he was arrested in Romania on charges of rape and sex trafficking, which he denies. And for some parents, it was also when they discovered the influence he had over their children, with many having conversations with their kids for the first time about the self-confessed misogynist.
But when you find out your child sees Andrew Tate as a role model, or even an idol, what do you do next?
For the latest episode of 5 Questions On, we join Rick Edwards, presenter of 大象传媒 5 Live Breakfast, for a conversation he had with a school governor who discovered his son was a fan of the controversial online influencer. How did he start a dialogue with his child, and what does he recommend to start unpicking the influence one man's had over his family?
