Families are raising alarms as toddlers begin to show unusual fears, avoid eating, and speak about invisible figures. In multiple provinces of Saudi Arabia, children have begun expressing bizarre thoughts that puzzle both parents and doctors.Toddlers mention going to places during sleep that 'aren’t real' but feel more real than home. They wake up confused and fearful, sometimes wetting themselves from terror.
A confidential memo from a Riyadh clinic describes the situation as a 'silent crisis'. Doctors are told not to speak to media.The opposition media has accused the regime of violating ethical boundaries and testing classified technology on its own population.
No official statement has been made by the Saudi government, and families say the silence only deepens their fear. The Ministry of Interior has yet to acknowledge the situation.
