“He didn’t follow me… and that saved his life.”

That’s how Al Tariq Miller begins the story no parent is ever prepared to tell.

His youngest son - six years old - watched a cartoon on YouTube Kids.

A cartoon that taught him how to hang himself.

Minutes later, Al Tariq walked past his son’s room…

and the child who always ran after him didn’t move.

He checked on him anyway.

And found his son hanging from the bunk bed.

What happened next - the CPR, the coma, the recovery, the marriage nearly collapsing, the 988 calls, the rage at YouTube, the film he made to save other children - is the kind of pain that should break a man forever.

But somehow… it didn’t.

And now he’s here, telling the world what most men bury so deep they never come back from it.

This is not content.

This is not entertainment. - it's a lifeline. A warning every parent needs to hear. And a testament to resilience, fatherhood, and the unspoken weight many men carry.

This will change the way you look at your children, your marriage, your mental health, and the world you trust them in.

This is Beauty in the Beast.

And this episode may be the most important we’ve ever recorded.
