Bravo. As I wrote earlier, the teen years are supposed to be a time when kids start to really sort out who they are, what they believe vs what their parents taught them. Perhaps most importantly, this (is/used to be) all within the safety net of a family and close friends. I am glad nobody gave me the time of day when I was 16, let alone recorded me and gave me a platform to spew whatever teenage wisdom entered my mind.

Perhaps THE primary job of a parent is to protect their child - often from predators, but sometimes from themself. If there is regret on the part of this girl, she won't have the benefit I have of obscurity. That is, her 16-year old self will be on YouTube etc forever. Forgetting about the future, look at what's happening now - She's getting torched and championed internationally.

Where are the parents? I read that her parents basically acquiesced to Greta's passions (they went vegan after Greta basically browbeat them about robbing her future). I am certain that having a special needs child isn't easy, but this is all the more reason why the parents should protect her. These parents are basically letting their child run the show. Maybe they feel good about their caring and nurturing parenting methods, but I find it reprehensible that they let her go off with disregard (or worse, a tacit OK) to her being targeted by the opposition OR predators.

Greta and her Asperger's Syndrome is a child celebrity, and her 15-mins will soon be up. The smart tactic would have been to attack the adults and bemoan the morals of statists who use children as virtual human shields. I bet you the parents, if they instead of their daughter, were taking fire, would start unraveling and say stuff like "shouldn't you be attacking our daughter?"

I get it...let's use Alinsky on them, 3D chess, no prisoners, the kid isn't fair game, etc...but when a child's parents aren't protecting their Aspie child from harm, I'd rather shine light on the weak and effective parenting. THAT, to me, is the real story here..how the environmentalist movement has lowered itself (if that was possible) to use a special needs child to further their movement with total disregard to her safety and inevitable memes etc of which she'll be the subject.

“the kid isn’t fair game, etc...”

The kid isn’t fair game? Remember the great care and sensitivity the Mainstream Media used in their reporting on the incident with the Covington Kids?

Regardless I feel sorry for this abused, propagandized child. A 16 year old should be rebelling against authority figures and exploring her own identity, not mindlessly parroting the ideology of her parents and their Globalist handlers.

Difficult to say, but I suspect suicide at 13.
