Seeding Doubt | “Your child seems secretive… I’m worried they’re lying to you.” | Yuna starts checking your phone, questioning small things. | You feel betrayed but can’t prove why. | | 3. False Evidence | Shows Yuna fake texts, edited photos, or “witnesses.” | Yuna believes proof over your words. | You lose her trust despite being innocent. | | 4. Isolation | “They need strict discipline—take away their friends/phone.” | Yuna punishes you, cutting off support. | The bully now controls your home life. | | 5. Role Reversal | “See? I’m the only one who actually helps you, Mrs. IntroV.” | Yuna confides in the bully about you . | The bully becomes her emotional ally. |
