AcabamentoSinopse
Julia, a 13-year-old, spends hours locked in her room, on Discord. Little by little, she stops being the sweet and communicative girl everyone knew. She becomes aggressive, isolated, and emotionally unstable. "Typical teenage behavior," her father thought. But behind the closed door, his daughter was immersed in a digital underworld—dark, manipulative, and destructive.
It Happened to My Daughter is the true story, told under a pseudonym, of a father who faced one of the worst nightmares of the digital age: seeing his daughter involved with toxic online communities, self-harming, simulating a hanging, and undergoing hospitalizations and psychiatric treatment.
More than a powerful narrative, this book is a necessary warning about the invisible dangers of screens and the silent power of social media over the mental health of teenagers. At the same time, it shows that, even amidst chaos, it is possible to rebuild bonds, rekindle affection, and start over.
The editor’s opinion
There are good books about the dangers of the Internet. None with the heartbreaking brutality of this true story, written by a father about his and his daughter s ordeal — nearly destroyed, nearly killed, when captured by a virtual world inhabited by social media criminals. I m the father of an eight-year-old girl. I read this book in two hours, and my heart never stopped pounding.
After “Adolescence”, the Netflix series which exposed the terrifying digital under-worlds hidden within social media, this book by Paulo Zsa Zsa delves even deeper. While the series is shocking, this book adds real characters to a similar type of story, making it even more compelling.
Paulo, a widowed father, lived peacefully with his innocent daughter in the apparent safety of his home. Suddenly, a cry for help and a stunning revelation: arms covered in cuts, blood, threats of suicide, a mind in a trance, hell on the way.
What was happening?
What kind of hidden world was that? How to fight it?
This desperate, confused, stunned father then begins the hard and bitter process of learning and reinventing himself as a father. First, he had to learn the language of social media. Then, with the help of psychologists and psychiatrists, he began to navigate the new relationship that emerged between him and his daughter.
And then more. Every day something more: love, affection, understanding, and patience. Lots of patience.
The purpose of this book, as the author tells us, is to help parents avoid the pitfalls and the suffering he endured. The entire narrative is real: the hell he experienced, the devastating effects, the guilt, the mistakes, the suffering. Writing about his ordeal, while recognizing and accepting his mistakes, was an act of courage.
As pediatrician Daniel Becker and communicator Felipe Neto state at the end of this book, this father undertakes a hero s journey that can teach us a lot — and can lead us to possible pathways. Just as Felipe Neto says: “Awareness begins with books like this.”
That s why this book is so necessary. It s the first to expose, in such an intense, raw, and transparent way, without filters, this reality that parents must face, opening their eyes to the signs of what may be happening right in front of them, without them realizing it.
