A BBC investigation reveals a disturbing trend where kids as young as 10 are getting caught up in cyberstalking—often mimicking behaviors they see in surveillance-heavy online spaces. Experts suggest constant exposure to tracking apps, social media monitoring, and even parental spyware might be normalizing this invasive behavior.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about "creepy strangers online"—it’s about how the tools and habits we’ve built into digital life might be teaching kids that watching others without consent is normal. If surveillance culture is trickling down to playground dynamics, it’s worth asking: Are we raising a generation that sees privacy violations as no big deal?
