Statistics have shown that nearly one in five Americans and one in four Republicans believe in QAnon conspiracy theories, and that’s especially sad when it comes to children whose parents are ardent followers. And an upcoming documentary from HBO focuses on this tragic aspect.

In one scene of the documentary This Place Rules, released this week, we see numerous QAnon believers, including Jayden, a young boy who believes President Joe Biden is a “child molester.” Jayden also believes that Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama somehow took part in creating Covid-19, Mediaite reports.

In the scene, we see filmmaker Andrew Callaghan attending a pro-Trump rally where young Jayden screams out his conspiracy theories to an appreciative crowd.

“Biden’s a child molester and he kidnaps children and does horrible things to them just like Hillary Clinton and Obama, who made the virus. The virus is man-made. It doesn’t exist. Kids need to be put back in school,” the boy yells.

We see a clip of Alex Jones being interviewed for the documentary, and other prominent Trump supporters are also featured, Callaghan notes. There is also, he notes, criticism of the mainstream media, something that led to tension between Callaghan and CNN host Don Lemon.

But it’s the interview with young Jayden that uncovers a particularly troubling aspect of the whole QAnon conspiracy movement.

“The people who are pulling the strings is the Italian Vatican. They actually are reptilian bloodlines from another planet. They’re basically robots,” he said and added in some anti-semitism for good measure by mentioning the Rothschilds, Mediaite reports.

Then Jayden mentions a submarine people can take to “Epstein Island” where they are allowed to molest children. At one point Jayden is asked where he got his information. His answer? The “dark stream media” and “the Trump media,” which are “telling all the truth.”

We also see the youngster doing the everyday things kids do, running outside and playing with toys. His mom tells Callaghan that she pulled her kids out of school because she objected to mask mandates.

In the same scene, we see something truly bizarre — Jayden’s father shows Callaghan a QAnon board and tells the filmmaker how to decipher coded messages that include a peculiar gamut ranging from the Chipotle logo to CNN’s Anderson Cooper.

This almost seems like a form of child abuse to me. What’s going to happen to Jayden when he becomes a young man? Is he still going to be saddled with these delusions? Or will he find a way to fully examine both sides of a story and discover when something is bunk?

This poor brainwashed child screams that Biden is a child molester and that Obama and Hillary created COVID 19. This is so heartbreaking and the parents should be investigated…my god…💔 pic.twitter.com/CxWbZFbCKX
