How safe are your children online? In this powerful episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor Dixon sits down with Michael Villani, founder of Predator Poachers Long Island, to uncover the disturbing reality of online child exploitation and the predators hiding behind social media profiles. After recently helping expose a Meta engineer accused of attempting to exploit what he believed was a 13-year-old girl, Villani explains how his organization identifies suspected predators, works alongside law enforcement, and helps bring dangerous offenders to justice. Michael pulls back the curtain on how online grooming really works, why predators often seek out children through popular apps, and the excuses they make when confronted. He also discusses the legal challenges investigators face, why some offenders receive surprisingly light sentences, and how parents can recognize warning signs before it's too late.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does it truly mean to be a mandated reporter, and how do faith, ethics, and child protection intersect in today's world?In this powerful Season 2 episode of The Grounded Bag Podcast in 30 (Audio Only), I sit down with Dr. Makeda Ansah—minister, educator, and Ph.D. student—for an important conversation about the responsibility of protecting children and vulnerable individuals. Together, we explore the ethical, legal, and spiritual dimensions of mandated reporting and discuss why every helping professional, ministry leader, educator, and community member has a role to play in creating safer environments.Too often, conversations about abuse, neglect, and reporting are avoided because they feel uncomfortable or overwhelming. However, silence can leave children and vulnerable individuals at risk. This episode challenges listeners to move beyond misconceptions, understand their responsibilities, and recognize that safeguarding children is not just a legal obligation—it is a moral and ethical commitment rooted in compassion, accountability, and justice.In this episode, we discuss:* What it truly means to be a mandated reporter* Common myths and misconceptions about mandated reporting* The intersection of faith, ethics, and legal responsibility* How churches, schools, healthcare organizations, and community agencies can better protect children* Recognizing signs of abuse and understanding when action is required* Why education, awareness, and prevention are essential to saving lives* How communities can work together to build cultures of safety, trust, and accountabilityWhether you're a social worker, counselor, therapist, educator, minister, healthcare professional, nonprofit leader, student, mandated reporter, or passionate child advocate, this conversation provides practical knowledge, thoughtful reflection, and actionable insights that can help strengthen your understanding of child protection.At the heart of this discussion is one simple truth: protecting children is everyone's responsibility. Through education, ethical leadership, and informed action, we can create communities where children are seen, heard, believed, and protected.

Less than 10% of reported sexual assaults result in a conviction in Australia. So, what does it actually take to bring a rapist to justice? In part 2 of former police officer and survivor Caroline Clarke’s chat with Gary Jubelin, we find out exactly that. In this episode, Caroline details the aftermath of being sexually assaulted by a massage therapist - from the agonising decision to report, to becoming an active force in her case recording a confession that police called "the best they’d ever heard". Caroline also unpacks one of the most misunderstood reactions in trauma - the freeze response, a survival mechanism hardwired into all of us. Yet it still continues to be used against survivors in courtrooms, in conversations, and in their own heads. Caroline breaks down why it happens, how it works, and why the shame so many survivors carry about it is not only unfair, it's wrong. Subscribe to our new Youtube channel.

Hundreds of people gathered outside the Northern Territory parliament this week outraged at reforms to the child safety system they say could usher in a new Stolen Generation.

Caroline Clarke spent nearly a decade as a police officer on the rough streets of West Yorkshire chasing down criminals, working the drugs squad, and stepping into homes torn apart by domestic violence. But nothing in her training prepared her for what happened when she became a victim-survivor herself. In this episode of I Catch Killers, Caroline opens up about growing up in a home where love and violence lived side by side, the silence she inherited from her mother, and the sexual assault that left her questioning why her body froze when she thought she would fight. Caroline breaks down the freeze response, a trauma reaction still misunderstood by police, juries, and the public, and explains why survivors are so often blamed instead of believed. Caroline is now the founder of the No More Silence movement, dedicated to helping survivors break their silence and shift the shame back to where it belongs. Subscribe to our new Youtube channel.

What does it really take to break the cycle of crime? In Part 2 of this conversation, Gary sits down with Lincoln Tarrow-Lynch, a man caught up in crime since he was a kid, who’d spent years dealing drugs, battling ice addiction, and surviving on the fringes of society, to uncover what finally turned his life around. Lincoln opens up about his first adult prison sentence, losing his mother while behind bars, and walking out of jail with nothing but a plastic bag and no support network. He shares how Rainbow Lodge, a post-release residential program in Sydney, gave him the soft landing he needed, and why without it, he's certain he'd have gone straight back into jail.

What happens when the system meant to protect a child chooses to punish them instead? Lincoln Tarrow-Lynch's earliest memory is watching his father being arrested. By five, his mother was in prison. By twelve, he was committing petty crime, living on the streets, and being abused by adults, yet the system kept sending him back to the danger it knew was there. In this episode of I Catch Killers, Gary sits down with Lincoln to trace the fault lines of a childhood shaped by neglect, abuse, and a justice system that criminalised a child who simply needed care. Lincoln's story challenges everything we think we know about youth crime. This episode contains references to child sex abuse and suicide.

Conversations on Groong - May 10, 2026This Conversations on Groong episode examines the Vedi abuse case, a disturbing story involving alleged sexual abuse of vulnerable minors and serious questions about Armenia's law-enforcement response. Attorney Tatevik Soghoyan joins the program to discuss the known timeline, the delays between the first reports and arrests, the treatment of the victims, and the public statements by investigators and government officials. The discussion focuses on whether this was a local failure, a systemic breakdown, or a deeper case of political responsibility, while asking what Armenia's justice and child-protection systems must do to prevent such cases from being ignored, delayed, or mishandled.Topics:Vedi abuse case timelineLaw-enforcement delays and failuresVictim protection and privacyPolitical responsibility and accountabilityChild-protection system breakdownGuest:Tatevik SoghoyanHosts:Hovik ManucharyanAsbed BedrossianEpisode 542 | Recorded: May 9, 2026SHOW NOTES: https://podcasts.groong.org/542VIDEO: https://youtu.be/jP9QJuMwDNo#VediCase #ChildProtection #JusticeForChildren #RuleOfLaw #Accountability #Armenia #HumanRights #VictimsRightsSubscribe and follow us everywhere you are: linktr.ee/groong

When the Canadian Centre for Child Protection found what is says are images of child sexual abuse on the messaging app Telegram they took that allegation to Britain's online safety watchdog Ofcom. That is because Canada doesn't have a regulator to look at how online platforms deal with this type of illegal content.

Last month in the United States in two separate courtrooms, in two separate states and in the span of just two days, the world's most powerful social media company, Meta, was sent a message. The cases in New Mexico and California found Meta liable for products that inflict harm on young people, and were the first of thousands to go to court. Technology reporter for Guardian US Dara Kerr speaks to Nour Haydar about the landmark verdicts and why some believe this could be big tech's big tobacco moment

Australia just passed what could be the most invasive social media law on the planet. While politicians celebrate protecting kids, they've accidentally built a surveillance system that would make authoritarian regimes jealous. The new law requires age verification for social media access, but here's the catch: there's no way to verify age online without collecting massive amounts of personal data. We're talking government IDs, biometric scans, and behavioral tracking that goes far beyond what most people realize. This episode breaks down the hidden privacy costs of age verification systems and why they create bigger risks than the problems they're trying to solve. From data breach vulnerabilities to law enforcement access, the implications go far beyond social media. Key insights covered: How age verification actually works and what data it requires - Why these systems create irresistible targets for cybercriminals The surveillance infrastructure being built in the name of child safety - How this precedent could spread globally Why kids are already finding workarounds that make them less safe Better alternatives that protect privacy while keeping children safer online The most troubling part? Young people are already migrating to encrypted apps and decentralized platforms that are much harder to monitor or regulate. Instead of making the internet safer for kids, this law is pushing them into darker corners of the digital world. If you care about digital privacy and the future of online freedom, this episode reveals why Australia's approach should concern everyone, regardless of where you live.

In this season of Lent, we're on a break from new episodes and are re-running a conversation from 2023 that we had with global child welfare professionals Dr. Greg Burch, Kelly Strong, and Dan Hope. We'll look at cases where westerners were given access to vulnerable children in the Global South and then abused those children. We'll explore the significance of cultivating cultures of awareness around child protection. We'll get into the importance of establishing robust policies and systems designed to mitigate the risks associated with child abuse and exploitation. By fostering environments that prioritize vigilance and the well-being of children, we can better identify and prevent abuses, ultimately ensuring their safety and welfare.
