It's been a few months since wildfires devastated Los Angeles, and some people are just now starting the long process of repairing and rebuilding their homes. But mixed into the soot and ash can be some hidden dangers, including lead, asbestos, arsenic and lithium. These toxic materials were used to build those homes and got blown across LA. Scientists from the California Institute of Technology have been investigating this invisible danger, testing more than 50 homes for these contaminants. And one of those homes belongs to the lead scientist behind the study. Reporter Caroline Champlin has more.  And our series on Californians and resilience continues with twenty-five-year-old Brittianna Robinson. She experienced sexual abuse and trafficking as a child. Robinson credits her faith in God and support from mentors and her church for helping her find a path forward. Today, she uses her lived experience to help other commercially sexually exploited children (CSEC) as an advocate on the Los Angeles County Youth Commission. Learn more about your ad choices.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Satanic ritual abuse, mind control, and organized trafficking survivor and whistleblower, loving mother, brilliant writer and story-teller on Substack, mental health advocate, spiritual wellness connoisseur, conspiracy theory enthusiast, and my dear friend, Jessica KaitlinWhen I first met Jessica months and months ago, her sheer strength, light she embodied, and the fragments of her story she shared left me utterly amazed. Though she couldn't speak out publicly at first, our bond grew, leading me to anonymously feature her in two Substack articles, gently introducing her harrowing experiences in writing to the world. After months of deepening our friendship, I was profoundly moved when she messaged me, "I'm ready to share my story on your podcast!"Born into a legacy of pain, with both families marked by generations of incest and abuse, Jessica's life began under the shadow of trauma. Conceived from a teenage pregnancy within a family that perpetuated child trafficking, she faced molestation, grooming, and psychological torment from her earliest years. At four years old, after revealing abuse by an uncle, Jessica was removed from her father's home, yet the connection was never fully severed, leaving Jessica with a very fractured and poorly put together collaboration of Dissociative Identity Alters. Despite a mother dissociated from her own past abuse, and being forced onto the streets at 15, Jessica's spirit remained unbroken and she has been on a dedicated healing journey ever since.She embarked on a fierce journey of healing, diving deep into the realms of mental health, conspiracy theories, spiritual warfare, and healing practices. Today, Jessica stands as a passionate advocate, educating others on child sexual abuse, Dissociative Identity Disorder, the dark mechanisms of evil, and the empowering truth of our divine heritage as children of a loving Creator. Her story is not just one of survival, but of transformation, empowerment, and the relentless pursuit of light in the darkest of places.CONNECT WITH JESSICA: Substack: https://substack.com/@guidedhealingExclusive Article "Removing An Entity Placed During A Childhood Satanic Ritual": https://substack.com/home/post/p-159159376ARTICLES DONE WITH JESSICA ON EMMA'S SUBSTACK: 1.

A Clare abuse survivor is calling for a dedicated emergency service to be established for victims of domestic violence. It follows a marked increase in reports of domestic, sexual and gender based violence during the adverse weather conditions and Christmas period. In 2023 alone, Gardaí were alerted to over 2,400 call-outs in the Clare-Tipperary division; which is an increase of over 300% within a decade. Former Clare Haven service user and volunteer Louise Bailey says some people are living in terrifying environments.

A torrent of posts from X owner Elon Musk has thrown an unexpected spotlight on the issue of historical grooming gangs in the last week.     In the early 2010s, dozens of men, the majority of British Pakistani origin, were convicted of crimes including rape, sex trafficking, and child sexual exploitation that had gone undetected for years. The true number of victims is still unknown.     On today's Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by our home editor Jason Farrell and Lucy Duckworth, from the Survivors Trust, herself a survivor of child abuse, to explain why the recommendations of numerous inquiries into the failings that allowed the abuse to go on for years have still not been implemented.   The Survivors Trust runs a free, confidential national helpline 7 days a week for survivors of rape or sexual abuse and violence aged 16+. You can call 0808 801 0818 or text 07860 022 956 for support.   Producer: Soila Apparicio  Editor: Philly Beaumont

The BBC's religion editor Aleem Maqbool hears from sexual abuse victims who say they were let down by senior church leaders for decades. Priest David Tudor was allowed to continue working within the Church of England - despite widespread concerns about his behaviour. Now there are calls for the Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell to resign over his handling of the case. He is due to take temporary charge of the church in the New Year following the resignation of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby. The Church of England says File on 4's investigation into the case of David Tudor has 'revealed a catalogue of past safeguarding decisions, that allowed someone who was considered a risk in the 1980s to return to ministry in the 1990s.' This, they say, should never have happened.Reporter: Aleem Maqbool Producers: Steve Swann and Hayley Mortimer Technical producer: Craig Boardman Production coordinator: Tim Fernley Editor: Carl Johnston

A survivor of domestic abuse had almost all her teeth broken in a series of attacks by her then partner. Because she can't afford to get them fixed, the state of her teeth is leading to infections in her mouth and gums which are both excruciatingly painful and dangerous. Even though she's a New Zealander, the attacks took place while she was living overseas which means she is not eligible for ACC. Advocates say this is an example of the dental system no longer being fit for purpose - and more targeted funding is needed. *The name of the woman in this story has been changed to protect her identity - and a warning this report by Louise Ternouth contains details of intimate partner violence.

Beth also shares the healing truths for survivors of trauma and abuse, including: there are no demographic boundaries to trauma, abuse and unhealthy survivorship; healing is about each of us and only us, no one else; triggers are real; and there are no four, five, eight or ten-steps in a healing process. Beth includes her story of becoming an Empowered Survivor (life-altering event and healing journey; personal transformation; taking off the masks of survivorship and what HEAL means to her (hope, evolve and love in action).Bio:Beth's passion for helping other survivors of trauma and abuse to walk their healing pathways led her to write her bestselling book, Becoming an Empowered Survivor: You, Too, Can Heal from Trauma and Abuse.

Are Hollywood's youngest stars in any less danger now than those of past eras? We pose this question to Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman's Claudia Lamb. At age 11 she was cast as Mary's daughter Heather Hartman in the groundbreaking Norman Lear soap parody. Claudia offers a front row view to her traumatic life as a 70s child star, at the mercy of her abusive parents and insight into how she gnawed through their shackles to pursue a radio journalism career and become a champion for today's child actors.Claudia was a gourmet meal ticket to her criminally exploitative parents who squandered all her money as she cranked out hundreds of commercials and print ads as a toddler who was shoved into the spotlight and dragged by her angry and brutal mother to audition after audition.Claudia candidly conveys the extent of the violence and terror inflicted by her narcissistically cruel mother as Claudia's labor, throughout her childhood supported the entire family while alienating her five brothers.Her talent and intelligence branded her as a go-to for commercial producers, where, as a stand-by, she frequently replaced the principal. Then at the age of 11, after being pummeled by her mother for a poor math grade, (working kids needed to keep their grades above a C average) Claudia was dragged to a cattle-call populated by every chubby, frizzy haired 13 year old in Hollywood. Claudia, a scrawny, pigtailed 11 year old nailed the reading and was instantly cast as Heather Hartman where she treasured her three years on the set of Norman Lear's outrageous, unprecedented soap satire.Claudia tells of marathon filming sessions, (five episodes a week) with no cue cards or teleprompters. (Louise Lasser would scribble her lines on the kitchen table!) She celebrates the immense talents of Mary Kay Place, Martin Mull and Fred Willard, and shares fabulous anecdotes about Donny and Jimmy Osmond (The Donny & Marie Show filmed next door) and how Claudia was nearly crushed by a mob of fans who spotted her chatting up some Osmonds and jumped a fence to get in on that action.Claudia is frank in her assessment of the adults who let her down as she endured her mother's abuse. Her bruises were in clear view of the wardrobe department. At the age of 18, Claudia put Hollywood in her rear view and became an award winning journalist who now speaks to parents about the reality and dangers posed to children by show business.Weezy offers a supporting view, recommending Demi Lovato's new documentary on Hulu and Disney + called Child Star. Fritz is captivated by the Hulu series adaptation of Patrick Radden Keefe's best-seller about “The Troubles” in Ireland, Say Nothing. And Claudia weighs in on recs with a doc called Casa Bonita Mi Amor on Paramount +.Path Points of Interest:Claudia Lamb on IMDBClaudia Lamb  on WikipediaClaudia's BlogClaudia Lamb on BlueskyClaudia Lamb on Twitter/XClaudia Lamb on InstagramChild Star on Hulu and Disney+Say Nothing on HuluCasa Bonita Mi Amor

Survivors of clergy sexual abuse are asking the Vatican to adopt the same zero-tolerance policy worldwide that was adopted in the U.S. AP correspondent Donna Warder reports.

Amanza Smith is an accomplished entertainer, real estate agent, and advocate who has overcome immense personal challenges. Born to a mixed-race family in small-town Indiana, Amanza faced racism and abuse from a young age. Despite these adversities, she pursued her dreams, becoming a cheerleader, model, and reality TV star. Amanza's big break came on the hit show "Deal or No Deal," which led to her joining the prestigious Oppenheim Group and starring on "Selling Sunset." Beyond her professional success, Amanza's most inspiring role is that of a single mother. After her ex-husband's sudden disappearance, she fought tirelessly to provide for her children, relying on government assistance at times. Today, Amanza uses her platform to advocate for victims of abuse, encouraging others to seek help and support. Her ultimate goal is to inspire change through a design-focused TV show and a line of home goods. Amanza's journey is a testament to the power of resilience, creativity, and the pursuit of excellence in the face of adversity.2:18 - Introduction to Amanda Smith's Diverse Career  12:01 - Amanza's Unconventional Family Background18:55 - Experiencing Racism and Physical Abuse as a Child 30:35 - Coping Mechanisms: Gymnastics and Humor36:00 - Transition to Modeling and Acting42:27 - Challenges in Marriage and Financial Struggles 48:15 - Joining the Oppenheimer Group and Selling Sunset54:38 - Ralph Brown's Disappearance and Legal Battles1:00:52 - Advice for Victims of Abuse: Seeking Help and Therapy1:06:35 - Amanza's Goal: Hosting Her Own Design-Focused TV Show1:12:15 - Developing a Line of Home Goods and Furniture Products1:18:35 - Considering Adopting an Older Child in the Future1:24:23 - Amanza's Perspective on Dating in Los Angeles1:30:30 - Dealing with Haters and Social Media Criticism1:36:06 - Amanza's Responsibility as a Successful Black Woman1:42:29 - The Biggest Lesson Amanza Has Learned in Life1:48:13 - Amanza's Number One Personal and Professional Goals1:54:32 - Amanza's Biggest Regret and the Craziest Thing in Her CareerSponsors:Sandee | Bliss: BeachesWant to Connect?

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports the Boy Scouts art collection will help pay abuse survivors.

In the series of Survivor Stories, Wendy shares her story of a long-term marriage full of betrayal. From very early on, her husband had an affair and left her. She fought for the marriage because she didn't want her son to grow up in a split home. This happened a second time during their son's young life. However, the third time he left for an affair, she let him go.    After 30 years of this, it was time to find some healing. She went to a therapist and said: “I don't understand. I have all these cards from him that say, “I love you. You are the rock of the family. You're my best friend. I don't ever want to live without you. I can't wait to grow old with you.” All the while he was having affairs. Would you consider this mental abuse? She said, Yes!”   Thus began her journey of healing!   I am Renee Swanson, and I help people recover from covert narcissistic abuse. Are you tired of feeling isolated and alone?  Are you searching for people who get it?  Are you confused, reactive and unsure what to do?  Are you running in circles in your mind?

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Lifelong UAP and NHI phenomenon experiencer, abuse survivor, whistleblower, targeted individual, empath, content creator, and another brave warrior stepping up to shine a light on the darkness: Mack aka: Parsi XMack - who we will also be calling Parsi X, has been an experiencer of the phenomenon for his entire life starting with a close encounter he experienced with his twin brother when they were both children at the tender age of 11 living in India. Mack and his twin brother were fortunate to be the sons of a loving mother who brilliantly had them document their individual experiences instead of immediately discrediting them or chalking up their allegations to being a figment of their childlike imaginations - even though she had her doubts. Macks's experiences have continued throughout his life with phenomena manifesting themselves as orbs, UAPs, and NHI that connect with him in intelligent ways that defy explanation and - at times - leave a lot more questions than answers. Mack's formative years also include being bullied in school, and eventually he fell captive to being prey to a deviant predator who abused him at the age of 23. Today will be the first time he has ever publicly shared this part of his story and I ask you all to wrap Mack in a blanket of love and compassion as you always do as we talk about an extremely traumatic and devastating event that forever changed his life and left lasting scars of betrayal, pain and trauma on his body, heart, mind, and soul. One of the reasons Mack has decided to speak out about these very vulnerable moments in his life is because he knows many other experiencers and survivors are out there suffering in silence, and that his story may help validate their experiences and give them hope and a voice. He hopes to encourage people who are suffering to keep going, and to show that with consistent work and healing that life can be beautiful and purposeful - even if the journey is difficult and imperfect. Mack has learned that the way you hand shame and trauma back isn't through internalizing the pain and stuffing it down, but by finding ways to ‘out' it through public disclosure. Whether this is telling a friend, a therapist, or strangers on the internet - Mack has become a living example of what can happen when you embrace the truth and face it head on. An abuser's most lethal weapon is the silence of their victims, and today we are breaking that silence with disclosure, exposure, and heart-led truth. Mack is an incredible advocate for other survivors, experiencers and whistleblowers and I know all of you listening will be here today offering him the same love and support he is always the first to offer to others. Mack's story is incredibly important as it begs us to look closer into phenomena that often gets written off as coincidence, imagination or conspiracy and also shows us how these fascinating encounters can also be tormenting, traumatizing, and even isolating for the individuals who experience them. Our hope with this episode is to help many of you gain a greater understanding of phenomena that may be newer to you in your learning journey, and to also let those of you on the other side of the screen who have had or are having similar experiences know that you aren't alone. I ask all of you to please put away whatever you're doing and give my courageous warrior of a friend your full attention as he shares his full testimony for the very, first, time.
