Ridiculous claim aside, if they want a solution they should be setting up like a chicken wire Faraday cage, not making this everyone else’s problem.
Maybe just in the child’s room then, also you might want to ground that Faraday cage if they have anything that could be transmitting WiFi or Bluetooth or even is just a large screen.
Also it needs to be a fine mesh because for blocking 5GHz WiFi you want the hole size to be a 1/20 of the wavelength which comes out to >4mm.
Or an even cheaper solution would be to get one of those large “pet” cages and run a wire straight into the earth hole of a power socket.
You theoretically don’t “need” to ground a faraday cage if you want to block RF. I would do it anyway though.
You’re kinda right about the wavelength thing, but tinfoil would absolutely take care of it.
Two layers if you’re cautious. Separated by some thin non conductive layer, except connected at one point. To the better faraday cage.
A tinfoil hat is a portable solution.
Except if you just make a hat it could end up being a shitty ‘parabolic’ dish and concentrate the Wi-Fi in how head.
That kid is going to need to go full baked potato to stay safe.
Copper wire works better I hear

I hate people like this because their sons could really be sick with something, but they’ve decided it is the WiFi and they aren’t getting him the care he needs. Woowoo people I swear.

Maybe there’s a gamma emitting test source in the walls…
