My DS is a lovely lad, works, saving up to move out and start renting but recently his behaviour has changed. I'm starting to suspect he is smoking weed, this is concerning but not the main issue though.

His internet habits have changed, he spends a lot of free time on YouTube watching videos, recently he has been watching loads of conspiracy type videos.

He now spends his time trying to convince me and DH of ludicrous things! He tried to tell his aunt about chemtrails the other week. He sat me in front of a video that was talking about a bodyguard and mentioned how his eyes,nose,mouth and cheekbones changed. He speaks about the Illuminati a lot now and even accused his boss at work of being an annunaki!

My fear is how this will influence his younger brother. He really looks up to him, already he watches Alex jones videos and refuses to read papers anymore!

I have tried to get DS to chase girls and go out like normal lads his age, but he starts on about the 80 20 rule and how he doesn't trust 'femoids'.

It all seems quite small, but I am worried this will snowball. DH is less concerned as he was into David Icke back in the day and thinks he will grow out of it.

Jeez I needed a dictionary for many of your terms.
I’d be having a look through his browsing history.

Take control of your router and his internet access.

Jones is very popular among young, white males who feel excluded from modern society. He's pretty harmless, but it could be a stepping stone onto more racially charged material.
