Matty Acton's Online Child Safety Scare Every Parent Needs to Hear

What happens when survivors of domestic violence and coercive control enter family court isn't just anecdotal — it's documented, researched, and deeply concerning.In this episode of The Rising Beyond Podcast, Sybil is joined by Joan S. Meier, Professor of Clinical Law at George Washington University Law School and founder of the National Family Violence Law Center, and Danielle Pollack, Policy Manager at the Center, to unpack what decades of research and policy work reveal about how family courts respond to abuse allegations — and why so many protective parents feel disbelieved, punished, or silenced.Together, they explore how concepts like parental alienation are frequently weaponized against survivors, how unregulated reunification programs put children at risk, and what policy efforts like Kayden's Law are doing to change the system. This conversation also speaks directly to therapists, advocates, and professionals, offering insight into how research can inform ethical practice, advocacy, and trauma-informed testimony.NSPO: https://www.nationalsafeparents.org/ About the GuestsJoan S.

It's practical, honest, and full of the real-life perspective only working grandmas can bring.

The Independent Children's Monitor says it's clear our child protection system is under immense stress. Its review shows carers killed 24 children between December 2021 and June 2025. It finds no improvement, despite recommendations in a review of the murder of five-year-old Malachi Subecz in 2021. Children's Monitor CEO Arran Jones told Mike Hosking that while there are deep-seated issues that go beyond what the agencies can respond to, there are certainly things that can be improved. He says the lack of progress up to this point is an issue of prioritisation, and it's about making sure the problem is front of mine not only for Oranga Tamariki, but for all the agencies that have a role to play.

An independent external review of the Teaching Council was carried out by consultant Debbie Francis late last year. It has found that the agency has lost focus on its core function of safeguarding children and needs transformative change. CEO Lesley Hoskin is on agreed leave pending the outcome of an independent investigation into her conduct. The report identified multiple issues in the operations of the council. Education minister Erica Stanford told Heather du Plessis-Allan, "those two things together are a recipe for disaster: we think that we're a friend to the profession, and we're not hiring people who are actually have any experience."

Tell you what—I'm not feeling terribly hopeful about the situation for vulnerable kids in this country after reading the coroner's recommendations following the death of Malachi Subecz. You'll remember the case of Malachi. I'm not going to go through the details again; sufficient to say it happened about four and a half, nearly five years ago, and it fired up public anger because of the number of times his wider family tried to warn authorities that something was going to happen—and yet he was not protected. One of the recommendations the coroner has made today in her report is that Oranga Tamariki—OT, formerly CYFS—run a public awareness campaign to help people identify possible signs of abuse and understand how to take action. To be fair to her, that idea isn't new. It came from an earlier review. She's simply pointing out that it still hasn't happened, and is reiterating that the campaign should go ahead. But really? Is that what we need in this country—a public campaign to tell us what child abuse looks like? I think we all know what child abuse looks like. I struggle to believe that there are people who do not know that breaking a child's bone is abuse. So isn't this just the kind of thing well-meaning people suggest to make themselves feel like they're doing something, when really it changes nothing—because maybe there's very little you actually can do? The problem in Malachi's case wasn't that people didn't know what child abuse looked like. People did see the abuse. They absolutely recognised it as abuse. And they went to OT and said, “Hey, Malachi is being abused. Here's the proof.” By my count, they did that about five times—if not more. And OT didn't stop it. That is the problem. And it's the problem in so many of these tragic cases. When a child dies, we often discover afterwards that OT already knew the family—and yet the child ended up dead anyway. The problem isn't that you and I don't know what child abuse looks like. We do. The problem is that the agency responsible for stopping it apparently doesn't know what child abuse looks like—or at least doesn't act when it sees it. Never mind a public campaign. Fix that fundamental problem at Oranga Tamariki, and you might actually save a lot of lives. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textAs more Epstein files/emails have come out, I thought this was an important episode to bring back. This week I once again bring you the interview I did with Stephanie Olson. She's the CEO of the Set me Free Project,  a prevention education organization on human trafficking, social media safety, and healthy relationships.We're talking social media safety;Is it a good idea to set up a social media account for your baby/toddler?What is the biggest thing people ignore about social media?Do you REALLY know everyone you're connected with and giving information to, etc.?We are also talking human trafficking. Most human trafficking is nothing like what you see in Liam Neeson movies. Most trafficking is carried out by people familiar to the child involved.So what sort of precautions can, and should, we take?Why is communication with a trusted person soo important for children?And how can we, as adults, help children who might be at risk?I loved the whole conversation and definitely learned an awful lot about a subject I thought I had some idea of but it turns out almost everything I thought I knew was wrong.You can find Stephanie, and the Set Me Free Project here.Their website https://www.setmefreeproject.net/If you are interested in their training programs for work and agencies you can find that hereFollow her on FacebookAnd on Instagram They're even on Twitter! In the news this week; This study about the health impacts of "weight-cycling". A common myth heard these days is that intentionally losing weight (dieting) and then gaining that weight again is bad for your overall health and that, actually, you're better off staying at your higher weight. This is nonsense. There is ZERO evidence to show that that is the case and this study from 2014 clearly shows that.For next week's podcast we will do a "Top dieting myths" episode so, let me know if you have any questions you'd like answered or have heard something silly recently that you want to share.Remember that I am still looking for people to test to userfriendlyness of our program to people with hearing issues so if you would like to get involved and get FREE lifetime access, just send a little email to peter@healthypostnatalbody.comRemember to follow us on Instagram and Facebook for the competitions, wisdom and cute videos.

Craig Cole returns to the Breaking Free Podcast for a confronting and necessary conversation around child sexual abuse and trafficking in Australia. In this episode, Craig and I address the alarming scale of the issue, the systemic failures that allow it to continue, and the alleged complicity of government officials and institutions that are meant to protect the most vulnerable.Craig shares recent cases, statistics, and insights that highlight how deeply rooted this problem is, and why political inaction and silence are no longer acceptable. The conversation emphasizes the importance of awareness, personal responsibility, and collective action including attending rallies, speaking up, and demanding accountability from elected representatives.Alongside the hard truths, this episode also explores the emotional and psychological toll of confronting systemic corruption, and why resilience, emotional strength, and inner clarity are essential for those who choose to face uncomfortable realities.This is not an easy conversation, but it is a vital one. Craig and I reaffirm our commitment to continuing this work, shining a light where others refuse to look, and inspiring people to stand up for the safety and protection of children.DisclaimerThis episode discusses sensitive topics including child sexual abuse, trafficking, systemic corruption, and institutional failure. Listener discretion is advised. The content is intended to raise awareness, encourage critical thinking, and inspire lawful action in support of child safety and accountability.

I am so excited to share my conversation with Kelly Stonelake!Kelly Stonelake is a business operator and technologist with nearly 15 years of experience at Meta, where she held senior roles in product marketing and organizational leadership. During her tenure, she raised concerns about child safety and internal misconduct and faced retaliation after senior leadership chose to conceal risks rather than address them. The gap between Meta's stated values and her lived experience led to a severe loss of functioning and a fight for her life.Following her departure, Kelly became a whistleblower and advocate for stronger protections for children online, greater tech accountability, awareness of autistic burnout and suicide risk, and safer workplaces for marginalized people. Her work focuses on challenging the concentration of power in technology and advancing equity, accountability, and systemic reform.Kelly recently testified before the Washington State Senate in support of SB 5708 on addictive feeds and SB 5784 on AI companions, sharing first-hand accounts of child exposure, data collection without parental consent, and corporate retaliation against those who spoke up.Please visit Kelly Stonelake on Substack at Overturned by Kelly Stonelake .02:16 – 10:40 | From early idealism to the inside of FacebookKelly traces her early interests in journalism, constitutional debate, and technology, leading to nearly 15 years at Facebook. She describes the early years before the algorithmic feed, when the mission felt real and principled. She reflects on Cambridge Analytica, internal decision-making, and how loyalty, good faith, and “doing the right thing” slowly became tools for accumulating power.10:41 – 29:24 | Horizon Worlds, retaliation, and the open secret about kidsKelly recounts her time as the only woman on the senior leadership team for Horizon Worlds. She describes discovering that children were already using the product through adult accounts, being exposed to adults without parental consent, while Meta collected vast amounts of data in violation of federal law. She speaks plainly about misogyny, silencing women, attorney-client privilege used to avoid accountability, and the moment the rollout was paused for “quality” reasons while the truth stayed buried.29:25 – 1:02:00 | The harms parents, therapists, and social workers need to understandKelly lays out, in clear and specific terms, the dangers children face across social platforms:• Sextortion pipelines that move from shame to suicide in hours or days• Relentless bullying amplified by anonymity and disappearing messages• Algorithmic feeds that escalate vulnerability into self-harm content• Drug acquisition through social apps leading to fentanyl deaths• Viral challenges that kill curious kidsShe explains how “teen accounts” and parental controls function as sugar pills. They reassure parents without protecting children.1:02:01 – 1:11:30 | A chapter for parentsKelly speaks directly to parents. Delay smartphones as long as possible. She recommends no social media. Give yourself permission to reevaluate decisions with new information and self-compassion. She shares how technology can exist in a home without extractive platforms, from family computers to creative and educational tools. She names the economic manipulation at play and explains why neurodivergent children face disproportionate risk. This is not a parenting failure. It is a systemic one.1:11:31 – 1:21:53 | Moral injury, refusing blood money, and choosing truthKelly shares her mental health collapse, autistic burnout, and the moment...

The UK Digital ID Ripple Effect: Why the global community should watch these legislative moves closely, as they could set a groundbreaking or dangerous precedent for digital rights worldwide.

Jade Dass was taking medication to treat her addiction to opioids before she became pregnant. Scientific studies and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say this leads to the best outcomes for both mothers and babies. But after Dass delivered a healthy daughter, the hospital reported her to the Arizona Department of Child Safety, which conducted an investigation and separated her from her newborn.  “I just couldn't believe it, that people would act like this,” Dass says. “Like how they couldn't see—it's, like, you have no humanity if you're gonna take someone's baby.”To understand the scale of this issue, reporter Shoshana Walter, data reporter Melissa Lewis, and a team of Reveal researchers and lawyers filed 100 public records requests, putting together the first-ever tally of how often women are reported to child welfare agencies for taking prescription drugs during pregnancy. This week on Reveal, we follow Dass as she grapples with losing custody of her baby—and makes one last desperate attempt to keep her family together.Walter has turned some of her reporting for Reveal into a book about the addiction treatment industry, Rehab: An American Scandal, which comes out this month. This is an update of an episode that originally aired in July 2023.
