Following the tragic suicide of 14-year-old Sewell, his mother, her family and friends set up a charitable foundation in Sewell’s memory.

The mission of the Blessed Mother Family Foundation (BMFF) is to raise awareness about the dangers of AI companion chatbots and online addiction, focusing on educating children, families, educators, and government leaders.

Inspired by her son, Megan L. Garcia, Esq., formed the Blessed Mother Family Foundation. The foundation honors Sewell’s memory by advocating for safety guardrails and regulation for chatbot companions.

Megan wants to make sure no other family has to endure the loss of a beloved child due to predatory chatbot technology.

We work with community leaders, non-profit partners, schools, and government leaders to find solutions that ensure children's safety online, while providing support and resources to affected families to prevent harms and foster healing.
