My son is dangerous online incel spewing out misogynistic hate like Andrew Tate
IT is every parent’s worst nightmare that their child will go off the rails in their school years. But Laurence Wheatley and wife Joanne must have thought their job was done when they saw middle so…

A well-behaved student and outstanding athlete, Sam looked destined to succeed.
However, 150 miles away from the cosy family home in Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, Sam was starting to dabble in the dangerous world of incels.
The word “incels” comes from “involuntary celibates” and refers to a group of young men active online who lash out at women for denying them sex and oppressing them.
At Birmingham University, Sam, 22, began devoting hours to making videos about the subculture — linked to hate speech and sexual violence — and eventually dropped out of his studies.
Posting on YouTube, he now spews out conspiracy theories about how women and society are to blame for men missing out on relationships.
In one disturbing video, Wheatley says men with “zero value” are more likely to rape.
In another he goes on to Birmingham University campus to ask female students to rate men’s looks in an effort to back up his claims that women only care about looks.
Dad Laurence, 71, who deplores his son’s sexist views, is exasperated.
He told The Sun: “I’ve heard some of his rubbish and I think it’s crap.
“Do you ever listen to any of his stuff? I haven’t listened to it in a few years now, half of it is misogynistic.
“I don’t know where he’s got all this from, I don’t know why, it’s mad.”
Laurence, a retired pet grooming boss, became even more worried when he found out his son, who has an older sister and younger brother, flew to the US to get advice from a fellow incel.
‘School shooting mentality’
He said: “Sam is always making these silly programmes and he gets money for it. The idea is they get a following.“He speaks to this bloke in America about it, they’ve got a thing going, he’s been out there.
“You can get in trouble for this stuff, I’ve told him before it should stop.
“There’s other people getting in trouble for this like the Tate brothers — what a load of crap they come out with.”
