Our children’s minds are under siege. Endless scrolling, addictive videos, and harmful content are damaging their attention, focus, and mental health. What we call “brain rot” is quietly stealing their future — one short video at a time.But one truth rises above every difference: every faith cares deeply about the wellbeing of our children. Whether Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Jewish, or any other tradition, we all believe our kids deserve to prosper — physically, mentally, and spiritually.This campaign brings people of all faiths together with one clear message: our children’s minds are sacred, and we will protect them.We call on the UK Government to introduce laws that hold tech companies accountable — demanding higher standards for videos children watch, removing harmful content, and stopping brain rot at its source.Sign this petition if you believe no child should lose their mind to an algorithm. Faiths may differ, but our love for our children unites us all. Let’s stand together and demand better for the next generation. 

I have two young boys: James (10)

and Mateo (5).As a father, I’ve been paying very close attention to how screen time affects them. What I’ve observed is clear and consistent — their behavior, focus, mood, and how they interact with each other are directly affected by the type of videos they watch.When the content is calm, educational, or positive, both boys are noticeably calmer, kinder, and more emotionally present. James’s autistic traits feel more manageable, and Mateo is gentler and more engaged.But when the videos are overstimulating, hypnotic, fast-paced, or low-value, their behavior shifts dramatically. They become restless, irritable, emotionally distant, and sometimes more difficult to reach — especially James.I even ran my own experiment at home: I set every device in the house to strict U or PG ratings only. To my surprise, it didn’t help. In fact, it made things slightly worse than when they simply watch a normal, well-made movie that doesn’t strictly follow those ratings. The “safe” algorithm-fed content often felt more addictive and overstimulating than a regular story.This isn’t just happening in our home. I’m convinced every household with young children — especially those with neurodivergent kids — is seeing similar effects.Our kids’ developing minds are being shaped every single day by what plays on that screen. We need to be honest about it and demand better.— Daniel
