Send us a textRobert grew up in Upstate New York, knew he was not going to college, and left for Air Force bootcamp shortly after graduating high school. Initially he was in logistics/ supply, but cross trained a few years later and began flying in C130's, gathering battlefield intel for boots on the ground!At 38, he retired and decided to go into law enforcement. After several ride alongs with family in Las Vegas and one with Pima county, he knew that was his next adventure.In 2000, he finished the police academy and trained in Operations Division East, then got assigned to Midtown (my second-most favorite division in the city). In 2008, he promoted to Detective and was assigned to some of the toughest units in Criminal Investigations, Child Abuse and Adult Sexual Assault. He finished his 25 year career in Team Detectives...I'm glad he agreed to be on the show a whole week and half after retiring.

A Tennessee couple was arrested last week after deputies found seven kids living in a home they described as “deplorable.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kentucky has one of the highest rates of child abuse in the country—nearly double the national average. We're looking at the factors that contribute to abuse and neglect in our state, and what's being done on the ground to make a difference. We talk with Elea Fox, President and CEO of Family & Children's Place, about what abuse can look like, what to do if you suspect a child is being mistreated, and how our systems can better support kids and families to prevent abuse in the first place.

I want to talk about kids being bashed by their families. We've had a really bad run of it - I don't know if you've realized - in the last few weeks. As far as I can see, just in the last 8 weeks, we've had the toddler in the suitcase, and we've had the baby in the bin in Auckland. We've also had a 2-month-old go to hospital with serious injuries that happened today, we've had a 3-month-old taken to hospital in Wellington in June, and we've had a 6-month-old critically injured at a Foxton Beach house in July. And we've hardly talked about this. I mean, we've talked about the toddler in the suitcase yesterday, world media talked about it too because it is so bizarre, it's hard to ignore. We also talked about the baby in the bin, that got about a day's worth of coverage, again, because that was pretty out there - putting a baby in a bin. But everything else, almost no coverage. Now, do you know why that is? I mean, part of it is obviously that this is now not unusual anymore. We just bash our babies all the time in this country apparently - but also because you're not actually allowed to talk about it. I don't know if you realize this, but the moment that Oranga Tamariki, which is the new CYFS, uplifts a kid, the Family Court orders basically automatic blanket suppression on it. Which means the police can't say anything, it means OT itself can't say anything, it means the media can't say anything. So the news coverage just basically dies. We get: "baby's gone to hospital," and that's the end of it. No more coverage. It's actually only when the child dies that we can talk about it in detail because there is now no young person to protect anymore. Now, isn't that the opposite of what we want? I mean, I think this is doing our kids a disservice. I understand why we did this in the first place, why we put these suppression orders in - the idea was to protect the privacy of these young people. But what it is also doing is protecting the privacy of the thugs in their families who put them in hospital or in the suitcase or in the bin. And what it also means is that no one then talks about what's going on. We're not horrified by the detail because there is no detail, so we don't talk about it, including politicians - and they should be the ones pitching solutions. At the rate that we're bashing our kids, this should be an election issue every single election - but it's not because we hardly talk about it because of the rules. So surely the rules should change.

The FBI has just declared there is no Epstein client list. For millions of Americans across political lines, this strains credibility—and raises serious questions, not the least is about the FBI's own discussions of the Epstein 'list'. Nick Bryant, a former reporter, knows this story very well, having worked with the original team who first broke the story. He has written books about the mindset and underground network that fuels such activities, such as in college sports and other industries, as documented in The Franklin Scandal. He helped found Epstein Justice, to bring resources to the victims of the Epstein empire. Is the FBI's recent declaration a betrayal of public trust as well as known facts? Nick Bryant thinks so.  Nick Bryant's writing has recurrently focused on the plight of disadvantaged children in the United States. He's been published in numerous national journals, including the Journal of Professional Ethics, Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology, Journal of Social Distress and Homelessness, Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved, and Journal of School Health. He co-authored America's Children: Triumph or Tragedy, addressing the medical and developmental problems of lower socioeconomic children in America. Bryant is the author of The Franklin Scandal: A Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse, & Betrayal. He has also contributed a chapter on child trafficking to Global Perspectives on Dissociative Disorders: Individual and Societal Oppression, a book addressing various facets of dissociative disorders. He is the co-author of Confessions of a DC Madam: The Politics of Sex, Lies, and Blackmail. His mainstream and investigative work has appeared in USA Today Magazine, Playboy, Salon, The Twin Cities Reader, Vanity Fair, New York, GEAR, Gawker, the Scheer Post, and other publications too ignominious to mention. He is the host of The Nick Bryant Podcast.

What happens when the only community you've ever known becomes your prison? When sacred teachings become weapons of control? Jo Lloyd Johnson takes us on a raw, unflinching journey through the hidden world of religious cults and the long path toward reclaiming personal autonomy.Growing up in what she eventually recognized as a cult environment, Jo experienced multiple layers of abuse – religious, spiritual, and sexual. Raised within a strict hierarchical structure where men held all power and women were expected to remain silent and submissive, Jo's childhood was shaped by what she calls "the umbrella of authority." Under this system, pastors claimed direct communication with God about their followers' lives, husbands controlled wives, and children had no voice at all.The damage of purity culture forms a central thread in Jo's story. As she powerfully explains, this toxic ideology taught her that her body was dangerous, that sexuality was shameful, and that women bear responsibility for men's thoughts and actions. For Jo, who experienced sexual assault at age six within the religious commune, these teachings were particularly devastating – leaving her wondering if she was already "tainted" before she could even understand what that meant.Jo's path to healing began with motherhood, when instinctive protection of her child sparked questions about her indoctrination. The real catalyst came when her husband was offered a position as a pastor – suddenly facing the reality of becoming what she had been "prophesied" to be, Jo realized she wanted something different for herself and her children. This awakening led her to examine her beliefs piece by piece, confront repressed memories, and ultimately forge her own path forward.Today, Jo channels her experiences into supporting other survivors through Louder Than Silence, an organization providing community and therapy for victims of sexual violence. Her story reminds us that healing isn't about forgetting – it's about transforming anger into constructive action and finding community that celebrates authenticity rather than demanding conformity.Listen and discover how sometimes, the most spiritual act is finding the courage to question everything you've been taught and create a new story – one where you belong not in a carefully tended garden, but in the wild, beautiful forest of your authentic self.

Nick Bryant is an investigative journalist and author best known for his book The Franklin Scandal: A Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse & Betrayal (2009), which details a nationwide child-trafficking and pedophilia ring in the United States during the 1980s and 1990s. Bryant's work, supported by extensive documentation and interviews, highlights corruption and the exploitation of disadvantaged children, a recurring focus of his journalism.

Trump still hasn't released the Epstein client list, the very list he promised to expose during his presidential campaign. He said the swamp would be drained and that the elite pedophiles would face justice. But the victims are still waiting.This isn't oversight. It's betrayal.Why is Trump suddenly acting like an Israeli ambassador? Why are American leaders more loyal to a foreign state than to their own people, and their own children?Justice delayed is justice denied, and we need to keep the pressure on until Trump becomes even more of a "panican" about this.No more Kash Patel. No more hiding behind “ongoing investigations.” No more delays. Fire Pam Bondi and whoever else is obstructing the truth.Epstein's victims deserve justice. And if Trump won't deliver it then, again, we will.—https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Today we're talking about what no one else will: The Trump administration has failed to release the Epstein client list — and that's not just a mistake, it's a betrayal. The powerful pedophiles of this world are being shielded, protected, and enabled while children are trafficked and raped.This is what happens when kings fear exposure more than they fear God.We're connecting the dots: Epstein wasn't just a creep with an island — he was part of a global blackmail machine. And it's time we ask why a man with a Jewish surname, operating with international impunity, ended up so close to the Mossad, Israeli intelligence, and foreign interests. Why is Trump suddenly all-in on Israel and Netanyahu? Is it coincidence… or is this the whole game?If Trump is serious about justice, he needs to act like it. No more hiding behind Kash Patel. No more empty speeches while Pam Bondi sits on a “truckload” of Epstein files. Fire them. Release the list. Stand before God and the people, or be counted among the wicked.The blood of the innocent cries out from the ground. And if our so-called leaders won't deliver justice — then we will.—https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

For 30 years disgraced former Irish swim coach George Gibney (77) has avoided child abuse allegations, relocating around the United States and refusing to answer questions about his past. On Tuesday he was detained by US marshals on foot of the extradition request, and Gibney now sits in a Florida jail as officials attempt to extradite him to Ireland to face 79 charges of sexual offences against four young girls between 1971 and 1981. Today on The Indo Daily, Tessa Fleming is joined by Maeve Sheahan, Senior Correspondent with The Sunday Independent, and Chalkie White, a former swimming student who has made allegations of abuse against George Gibney, to discuss how one of Irish sports darkest stories might be reaching a new chapter. This episode of The Indo Daily features discussion surrounding alleged sexual abuse and may not be suitable for everyone. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Parents send their young children to childcare trusting they'll return home each day safely. But families are in shock after a Victorian childcare worker was charged with 70 offences, including sexual assault and producing child abuse material. The alleged victims were as young as 5 months old. The staff member had worked at 20 different centres and held a valid Working with Children Check. Today, Caroline Croser-Barlow from The Front Project, which works to improve early childhood education, on whether the system is safe and how governments can fix it. Featured: Caroline Croser-Barlow, CEO of The Front Project

The battleground of family court has become a dangerous landscape for survivors of domestic violence and their children. When abusers wield the controversial theory of parental alienation syndrome as a weapon, protective parents often find themselves losing custody to the very people they're trying to escape.Ruth Guerreiro, Chief Clinical Officer of Genesis Women's Shelter & Support, pulls back the curtain on this troubling dynamic, explaining how a scientifically disputed theory from the 1980s continues to influence family court decisions with devastating consequences. We explore how protective behaviors—teaching children to recognize danger, set boundaries, and seek help—are frequently mischaracterized as attempts to "alienate" children from an abusive parent.The stakes couldn't be higher. Research shows children exposed to domestic violence face staggering long-term risks: they're 50 times more likely to abuse substances, 74 times more likely to commit violent crimes, and six times more likely to attempt suicide. When courts fail to recognize post-separation abuse tactics—using children as informants, undermining the protective parent's authority, or manipulating children psychologically—they inadvertently become accomplices in continued trauma.But there is hope. Ms. Guerreiro shares powerful insights about effective interventions that help children heal, including attachment therapy, trauma processing, and teaching critical thinking skills about healthy relationships. She offers practical guidance for rebuilding connection and stability, from creating family traditions to implementing consistent boundaries that counter the chaos of abuse.This episode challenges us to reconsider how we protect our most vulnerable citizens, advocating for family courts that prioritize children's safety above all else. Whether you're a survivor navigating custody issues, a professional working in family services, or simply concerned about child welfare, you'll come away with a deeper understanding of these complex dynamics and the tools needed to make a difference.

As investigators started putting the puzzle pieces together, a dark truth appeared.

Send us a Positive Review!Series Title: In-depth Exploration of Patriarchy & its Correlation to Violence & Abuse [Part VIII of X]Join Val & Nathan as they respectfully lean into specific risk factors associated with formalized patriarchal religious institutions (including the LDS church) & how these vulnerabilities play out in very real ways.  They also explore how our children can eventually become safer as their caregivers become educated & reach a critical mass of light & knowledge about the harmful (even if unintended) consequences to many children raised within patriarchal homes & churches. **Please note, Val & Nathan are not implying that child abuse & violence are *inevitable* when their families and churches are patriarchal. They are simply unpacking all of the heavily researched data pointing to heightened risk factors associated with patriarchy and violence/abuse. Please, let us learn from the ample data & protect our children.Referenced in this Episode: Associated Press: Seven years of sex abuse: How Mormon officials let it happenSupport the showListen, Share, Rate & Review EPISODES Friday Episodes Annual Subscription $89 Friday Episodes Monthly Subscription $10 Valerie's Support & Processing Groups Donate: ⁠Venmo or Patreon⁠ Visit our Website
