The kids are not alright. 


The Left is waging an all-out battle on the American family, particularly the youngest members. If they can make our children miserable, lead them to question every building block of society, and rebuild their entire concept of reality, then the Left and their woke indoctrinators will consider that a victory.

But we can't let them win.

As concerned parents and American citizens, we have to understand what's truly going on before we can do something about it. Stolen Youth provides an urgent deep dive into issues surrounding the current woke indoctrination happening in politics, education, medicine, mental health, entertainment, and culture.

These issues may seem subtle, insidious, and hard to make sense of, but armed with the information provided in this book, we now have a framework from which to fight. While we may simply be trying to parent our children well and create a healthy and happy home environment, this is no longer enough.

We must now go on the offense to protect our kids, and this book sheds a bright light on the reason why. We can no longer afford to stay ignorant. Our children's lives and the survival of our families are at stake.

"A win is a family who is free."

Stolen Youth outlines how to fight for our children's freedom—and win.

  1. The right way of looking at wokeness and woke culture is as a set of deeply toxic ideas that are force-fed to the populace, in particular to children.
    Highlighted by 101 Kindle readers
  2. It’s a system characterized by intolerance and showing one’s own superiority by denouncing those who step out of line. And though woke ideology centers a very different set of people than the USSR did, the methods are eerily similar.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Children can no longer trust their teachers, doctors, or the societal structures that claim to protect them. This isn't accidental. Stolen Youth pulls back the curtain of this pervasive ideology and arms parents with the information necessary to protect their children."

Matt Walsh



"Bethany Mandel and Karol Markowicz expose the rot that's spreading through America's schools. Their brilliant new book shines a light on the disaster of American education—and provides a vision for families to escape it. A must-read for parents, citizens, and policymakers."

Christopher Rufo



"Mandel and Markowicz have written an indispensable field guide for parents, laying out the unique challenges of this cultural moment and equipping them to protect their families." 

Abigail Shrier

If you read just one book in 2023, make it this one!
A critical look at the cancer that is Gender Ideology (GI). Disturbingly pervasive at confusing children from the earliest age (preschool), the cult of GI is successfully sexualizing our youth at unprecedented levels in our schools. Nine hard-hitting chapters of brutal truth encompassing education; American Institutions; Kids as Guinea Pigs; Resiliency; and, ideas on how to fight from within and pull your kids out. Concisely argued points with nearly 25 pages of references (endnotes). Every parent with schoolchildren MUST READ THIS BOOK. Homeschoolers are not immune. The next generation(s) are guaranteed to suffer from mental health challenges if this indoctrination is allowed to continue unabated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book and why I’m moving my family from CT to FL in a few months
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2023

Every parent should read this book. We have lived in Connecticut for almost the past decade. We thought we would never leave our forever home. All that changed in the last few years.

It started with the continued, long-term masking of our little children (but in other parts of the country no masks were required). We did what we could as parents to try and protect our children from the nonsensical rules around the school mask mandate because we saw how much it was harming them. Now parts of society are no longer rooted in reality. Rather, they are creating new social constructs daily, and treating them as facts.

We are moving from Connecticut where Sex-Ed now includes an unlimited number of genders and clearly inappropriate pornographic books are accepted and even applauded for being showcased in the children’s section at the library (but when you read the passages aloud at a Board of Education meeting, you are told to stop reading because it’s inappropriate). Connecticut state legislators are proposing laws to block parents from finding out about private communications between their children and their children’s teachers. What parent on the planet would agree to that law?

With all the impractical extremes being exposed in this world I do have hope that the pendulum will swing back to a place of common sense and reason. Unfortunately, it can’t happen fast enough for my children to leave the Northeast unscathed if we do not relocate. So we are moving to Florida.

Moving away from our home where we thought we would live for the rest of our lives, comes with great sacrifice, mixed emotions, but with zero doubt. Our kids will always come first.

If our children grow up disagreeing with our opinions, as long as they came to their conclusions using their own minds and not as a result of systematic brainwashing, we will have done our job.

Karol, see you in Palm Beach County!

It’s so hard to read everything that I’ve separately known in one place. It was much easier for me to process when it was in separate buckets. Now it’s all here together. I’m so glad my son is graduating high school and he’s escaped with his genitals, mind, and soul intact.

This is an absolute must read for every person.

Excellent book exposing what is occurring in our society and how it is negatively impacting our youth on multiple levels. This book highlights that as a society we are in the midst of a cultural and ideological battle. This is about who should have the predominant role in determining and guiding our children's future - parents or external forces. Individual experiences are provided with protections for privacy. These experiences illustrate the difficulties parents are facing in the current societal climate. The book is well documented with 25 pages of end notes. Take with a grain of salt the one star reviews as none of them as of the writing of this review are verified purchases. I highly recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars On Target Critique
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2023
Verified Purchase
This book offers a fair critique of the DEI, CRT, trans ideology taking over our country. It was written by two 'mom journalists,' and is entirely accessible to any reader. It traces the way, for instance, the whole trans agenda has permeated medical schools and the medical and psychiatric professions, which distorts normality even more than a mere trend. Because the ideology is in the med schools, it will be with us for decades.
Both authors end up advocating home schooling, which makes a lot of sense. Though whether it is enough to stem the madness or not is a real question.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough, Gripping, Thoughtful
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2023

Mandel and Markowicz present a compelling narrative of the many ways that our children and childhood innocence itself are under attack. Children were first sacrificed en masse to protect adults, having their ability to interact as human beings removed by law through mask mandates. Emotional attunement, normal speech development, and other crucial parts of development were stolen. Now they are being indoctrinated in schools, having their natural boundaries shattered by adults they're meant to trust and respect introducing sexual concepts. Beyond these horrible violations of childhood, the indoctrination is damaging in the grand scheme: children are not equipped to sit around thinking about how they think, or analyzing how they see themselves and the world. The leftist agenda to program children by doing this is an agenda to do horrifying damage in the name of a perceived "greater good." It's nonsense (a word chosen to avoid having this review rejected by Amazon; the word I want to use starts with "bull") and this book does a fabulous job of making the case that we can and must fight to protect kids if we want our country to have a future.

As a parent, if you stay up on current events, this book will not be news. However, if you're too busy making ends meet to spare a lot of screen time, and if you have children, you should make the effort to come up to speed because your kid's well-being depends on it. And, that's not an overstatement.

This book thoroughly lays out all of the fronts that are being waged against your children. It describes, in extremes, two options to win the war. And it provides a solid overlaying principle to child-rearing: Raise children that are resilient, not fragile.

Pro tip: If you're a grandparent, with young grand kids, take this book as an opportunity to help out your own children that may be in the "making ends meet" group. Read it yourself, as I did, and share the major points over an old-fashioned Sunday family dinner.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an important and necessary book
Reviewed in Australia on April 5, 2023

This is an important work. Compiled details of undercover influences on children, that are being hidden and protected by law.

It is also very personal. Bethany's story of the passing of her mother was emotional and relateable. She wove this into the descriptive narrative very well

This book was an excellent investment and I am glad to own a copy that I can refer back to

My criticism of this book is that I would have liked more content and explanations. I would have liked a longer book (editors don't always agree).

To describe Work - I recommend following journalist Rita Panahi, who is neither white or male. She has shared these definitions from other but they are fairluy accurate:

Author and mathematician James Lindsay has a more technical description: “Wokeness is a fusion of the critical theory school of neo-Marxism, which is a form of identity politics and radical activism that has a very particular worldview that separates the world into the oppressed and oppressors.”

But perhaps the most eloquent definition comes from Elon Musk: “Wokeness is divisive, exclusionary, and hateful. It basically gives people a shield to be mean and cruel, armoured in false virtue.”

I would recommend this book to all parents of school age children. I liked this book because it spoke the truth. The scariness of this world is not disease, or climate change, or the killing of animals for food. It is the people who make decisions based on false information and use that information to panic everyone else. Karol doesn’t go too much into her faith but faith is needed by everyone. God is real and God is truth.
