"how can we now warn the youth to avoid those dangerous groups better so they don't fall in the same crap we were when we joined them?"

Here you go again, fogyish as ever.

You think only "the youth" are gullible? Last I looked, TF was fooling even the White House, and it wasn't just young people joining them.

Last time I checked, like just right now, old fossils like you were still steeped in old thinking and still having trouble updating to sensibilities outside of the cult. And that's why you come up with statements like these.

You think you all in the "older generation" need to do something for "the youth" because they can't do it for themselves because they aren't as smart as you? Think again.

You're still behind the times on demography but I can't blame you, seeing as you were stuck in a cult since your, er.. youth. Let me help you across the street old man. Here's a news flash: "Youth" just as "old people" or "middle-aged" can mean absolutely anything and therefore it means absolutely nothing collectively, and it's pointless addressing whole diversities of people this way, not to mention PATRONIZING. It'll be interesting to see you "old fogies" come up with a unified strategy for helping all "the youth" out there.

Why don't you spare us "youth" your help, and focus on helping yourself to better reintegrate? Please!
