Deirdre Kenny, One in Four Chief Executive, discusses what the group has called a "landmark report" into Irish attitudes towards tackling child sexual abuse.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comMeet Fiona Barnett, an Australian survivor of the elite worldwide network of satanic p*dophiles that control world politics, from as young as 5 years old she was prostituted, like thousands of other children, at dozens of p*dophile parties, which were attended by at least three former Prime Ministers at Parliament House Canberra.The network, which Fiona maintains still operates today, included high-ranking politicians, and police and judiciary members.She had reported the allegations to multiple health professionals, NSW Police in 2008 and the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in 2013."My experiences were horrific beyond words... but the way I've been treated for reporting the crimes I witnessed and experienced has been far worse than my original abuse experiences"Child sex abuse advocacy group, Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests Australia (SNAP), said it has heard from several other alleged victims who say they have witnessed similar offences of r@pe, torture and murder perpetrated by the most senior people in Australia."We're not talking about an isolated incident and an isolated survivor. It's a pattern, it's widespread and it's continuing today," SNAP leader Nicky Davis said.Many survivors had spoken and given evidence to police and the abuse royal commission but were mostly ignored.The group urged the federal government to launch an investigation into the elite p*dophile network.CONNECT WITH THE IMAGINATION:EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationAll links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastRIFE TECHNOLOGIES:https://realrifetechnology.com/15% Code: 420CZTL METHELENE BLUE:https://cztl.bz?ref=2BzG1Free Shipping Code: IMAGINATIONSupport the show

Episode Summary: This episode of Conversations with Kristi delves into the sensitive topic of child-on-child sexual abuse, highlighting the experiences of individuals involved in the ABAR project. It emphasises the misconceptions surrounding children's behaviour in such situations and the importance of recognising the seriousness of these incidents rather than dismissing them as mere experimentation or curiosity. Key Takeaways: The ABAR project focuses on child-on-child sexual abuse. Personal experiences can shape memories and perceptions of abuse. Misconceptions about children's behaviour can be harmful. Child-on-child sexual abuse is often underreported and misunderstood. It's crucial to recognise the seriousness of such incidents. Psychological support is vital for survivors of abuse. Awareness and education are key in addressing these issues. Children's experiences should not be trivialised or dismissed. The impact of abuse can vary based on frequency and context. Conversations about child abuse need to be more open and honest.

For many Catholics Pope Francis will be remembered as a man determined to overthrow tradition, challenge privilege and speak up for those who were not heard. But he became head of the Catholic church at a time when the institution was plagued by widespread accusations of sexual abuse. For the victims of catholic priests, did he deliver justice?

This week's episode of Sistas, Let's Talk is a repeat of the show broadcast on 6th June 2024Child protection workers in the Pacific are seeing increased reports of child abuse including sexual abuse.According to a recent study by Save the Children, more than, 80% of the child protection workers who were surveyed in Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Fiji said emotional, physical and sexual violence had increased or significantly increased in their country.When it comes to sexual violence in the Pacific, the majority of reported victims under 16 are girls, and the perpetrator is someone they know.When atrocities happen too often in a community, people don't feel that they have the power to stop them.Sistas Let's Talk examines what it will take for communities to work together to bring an end to child abuse?

Potiphar's Wife: The Vatican's Secret and Child Sexual AbuseThe ‘cover-up' of child sexual abuse by the Catholic  Church has been occurring under the pontificate of six popes since 1922.  For 1500 years, the Catholic Church accepted that clergy who sexually  abused children deserved to be stripped of their status as priests and  then imprisoned. A series of papal and Council decrees from the twelfth  century required such priests to be dismissed from the priesthood, and  then handed over to the civil authorities for further punishment.That  all changed in 1922 when Pope Pius XI issued his decree Crimen  Sollicitationis that created a de facto ‘privilege of clergy' by  imposing the ‘secret of the Holy Office' on all information obtained  through the Church's canonical investigations. If the State did not know  about these crimes, then there would be no State trials, and the matter  could be treated as a purely canonical crime to be dealt with in secret  in the Church courts. Pope Pius XII continued the decree. Pope John  XXIII reissued it in 1962. Pope Paul VI in 1974 extended the reach of  ‘pontifical secrecy' to the allegation itself. Pope John Paul II  confirmed the application of pontifical secrecy in 2001, and in 2010,  Benedict XVI even extended it to allegations about priests sexually  abusing intellectually disabled adults. In 2010, Pope Benedict gave a  dispensation to pontifical secrecy to allow reporting to the police  where the local civil law required it, that is, just enough to keep  bishops out of jail. Most countries in the world do not have any such  reporting laws for the vast majority of complaints about the sexual  abuse of children. Pontifical secrecy, the cornerstone of the cover up  continues. The effect on the lives of children by the imposition of the  Church's Top Secret classification on clergy sex abuse allegations may  not have been so bad if canon law had a decent disciplinary system to  dismiss these priests. The 1983 Code of Canon Law imposed a five year  limitation period which virtually ensured there would be no canonical  trials. It required bishops to try to reform these priests before  putting them on trial. When they were on trial, the priest could plead  the Vatican ‘Catch 22' defence—he should not be dismissed because he  couldn't control himself. The Church claims that all of this has  changed. Very little has changed. It has fiddled around the edges of  pontifical secrecy and the disciplinary canons. The Church has been  moonwalking.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

About the Guest: Jenni Woodhouse is the Pastoral Care Coordinator for the Church Missionary Society of New South Wales and ACT. She previously held the position of Chaplain for the Sydney Anglican Church's Professional Standards Unit, where she played a crucial role in supporting and documenting complaints of abuse. With extensive experience in addressing sensitive and difficult situations, Jenny has dedicated her career to walking alongside survivors of abuse and helping them navigate the complaint procedures within church institutions. Her work has contributed significantly to raising awareness and improving responses to child sexual abuse in religious settings. Key Takeaways: Child sexual abuse in churches often involves significant grooming by the perpetrator, who gains trust from church leaders and parents before targeting children. Statistically, child sexual abuse is not more prevalent in churches than in other parts of society, but the religious context can add layers of guilt and shame for survivors. There is a long delay, often 25 years, before many survivors come forward due to shame, fear, and confusion about their experiences. Safe ministry training and working with children checks are essential practices in churches to prevent and detect abuse but need further reinforcement and community watchfulness. Congregations are encouraged to be observant and report any concerns to help protect the community's children. Notable Quotes: "It takes on average about 25 years for someone to speak up about child sexual assault." – Jenny Woodhouse "Most the men who are sexually abused children who are extra familial abusers are not usually opportunistic; they are deliberately targeting institutions like churches." – Jenny Woodhouse "It's about educating the pew sitters in the churches who may not think they have anything to say or anything to see, but the people sitting in the pews can see things that are suspicious." – Jenny Woodhouse "Human beings, may I say, are really overrated. We just do things to each other so much of the time." – Jenny Woodhouse "Expect a beautiful, happy life and world, but we’re going to be bitterly disappointed." – Jenny Woodhouse Click here to contact Janet & Amelia or ask them a question or click here to contact the She Wasn't Born Yesterday team!

In the wake of updates to Child Safety Standards emerging from Australia's Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, Mirriam Francis wrote to Victoria's Commission for Children and Young People outlining the ways in which she sees Scientology teachings and practices to be violating these standards. While concepts of religious freedom and choice can muddy the waters of certain discussions around coercive organisations, Mirriam sees the regulations and laws to protect children as a key lens through which such practices need to be viewed and pursued. She speaks from personal experience that spans three countries.Links:Child Safe Standards — Commission for Children and Young People Victoria (you can raise a concern here); Queensland Family & Child Commission (you can raise a concern here)Child Safe Scheme — NSW Office of the Children's Guardian (you can raise a concern here)Australian Child Safe Standards – A State By State Guide 2024 — Safe Space LegalRage Against the Dark Arts — Mirriam Francis' SubstackThetans in Young Bodies — Season 2, Episode 1 of Leah Remini's Scientology and the Aftermath in which Mirriam Francis featuresReport of the Board of Enquiry into Scientology — by Kevin Victor Anderson, Q.C., the State of Victoria, Australia, 1965The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma — by Bessel van der Kolk, Penguin, 2015Truth and Repair: How Trauma Survivors Envision Justice — by Judith Lewis Herman, Basic Books, 2023Dianetics excerpt re: 7-year-old child responding to kiss from adult maleA Children of God message to members mentioning their "friends in Scientology"Introduction to Scientology Ethics High CrimesYou can support us on Patreon.

In Madagascar, 673 rape cases involving minors were recorded in 2023. In January 2024 alone, at least 4 rapes were reported daily according to the Ministry of Justice ... figures that are likely underestimated. Madagascar is also one of the top 10 countries in the world for online child pornography. To tackle this problem, Madagascar has legalised surgical castration against child rapists. But the measure has sparked outrage among several organisations, who denounce the punishment as cruel and an affront to human dignity. Until now, no castrations have yet been carried out, and medical professionals refuse to speak publicly on the subject. Gaëlle Borgia reports.

In this deeply moving and courageous episode, Kelly chats with Yolanda Henson, a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, to share her powerful story of survival, resilience, and advocacy. Yolanda opens up about the horrific abuse she endured as a child in Mexico—allegedly suffering sexual abuse at the hands of her uncles and verbal and physical mistreatment from her grandmother. Tragically, she was not alone. Nine other children living under the same roof, including her brothers and cousins, were allegedly subjected to similar abuse by members of their own family. Though she eventually escaped after being adopted by an American family, her journey to safety was far from over. Instead of finding love and protection, she faced continued emotional and mental abuse.Determined to seek justice, Yolanda and some of her cousins reported their abusers to the authorities in Mexico, only to be ignored. The investigation into their case has been stalled for over four years, with constant delays and a disturbing lack of action from law enforcement. Despite this, she refuses to stay silent. In this episode, Yolanda speaks about her ongoing fight for justice, the importance of educating young children about abuse prevention—just as schools teach drug prevention—and why exposing these crimes is crucial to breaking the cycle of abuse. She also shares insights into her healing journey and how survivors coming forward can help dismantle the stigma surrounding childhood abuse. This episode is a powerful call to action, demanding justice, awareness, and change.Follow Yolanda on TikTokWatch this episode on YouTubeFollow Kelly:https://kellydillon.com/https://www.instagram.com/kelldillon/https://www.facebook.com/kellydillontv/https://twitter.com/kelly_dillonhttp://tiktok.com/@kelldillonThe truth will truly set us free.

Without the internet, police were unable to track offender behaviour, and heavily relied on the testimony of victim-survivors. These interviews were crucial, and required care and empathy, as one misstep, and evidence could be lost and a victim survivor left unheard. Former detective Andrew Patterson was part of a special task force investigating paedophiles in Perth, and was the one who spoke to hundreds of victim-survivors... One morning, he received information about a sexual predator, and descriptions of an underground chamber with shiny chrome walls. He and his team set about investigating the offender, and finding survivors. Andrew sat down with host Brent Sanders to explain this case, and others from his impressive career.

The debate around widescale child sexual abuse and exploitation continues following calls from the Conservatives and Reform UK for a new national inquiry into the issue. Professor Alexis Jay chaired the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse. It took seven years and was published in 2022. It warned of "endemic" abuse across society in England and Wales for girls and boys. Professor Jay has called again for implementation of her 20 recommendations. One recommendation was that those who cover up or fail to report child sexual abuse could face professional or criminal sanctions. The Home Secretary Yvette Cooper last night announced that has said that will be implemented as a new offence this year. Nuala speaks to Maggie Oliver, Founder and Chair of the Maggie Oliver Foundation, who was a who resigned from Greater Manchester Police in late 2012 in order to expose the Rochdale Grooming Scandal and Ken MacDonald, Director of Public Prosecutions from 2003-2008.It's hoped a tool which allows women in Wales to log and report symptoms of endometriosis will empower patients to get help from their GPs and potentially lead to quicker diagnosis. It's estimated one in 10 women suffer from the condition, which can cause debilitating period pain and is linked to fertility issues. Nuala speaks to Dr Robyn Jackowich, one of the academics whose worked on the reporting tool, and Karen Hiu Ching Lo, who suffers with endometriosis.The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has been urged to boycott next month's Champions Trophy match against Afghanistan by a group of more than 160 politicians. The England men's ODI side are due to face Afghanistan in Lahore on 26 February but there are calls for the ECB to refuse the fixture, taking a stand against the Taliban regime's ongoing assault on women's rights. Nuala discusses the issues with Felix Jakens, Head of Campaigns for Amnesty International.Lucy Lawless, best known for playing Xena: Warrior Princess, joins Nuala to discuss another fearless woman. In her directorial debut, Never Look Away, she explores Margaret Moth, a warzone camerawoman for CNN who covered conflicts from the liberation of Kuwait in the early 90s to the Lebanon War in the mid-2000s armed only with a camera and an attitude.BBC Eye have released an animation narrated by Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe for BBC 100 Women 2024. It tells the stories of three women imprisoned in the notorious Evin prison in Iran. Nuala is joined by former Evin prisoner, Mahdieh Golroo and BBC Persian reporter, Baran Abbasi to discuss the prison's reputation.Presented by Nuala McGovern Producer: Louise Corley

Episode Summary: In this episode of the #SiblingsToo Podcast, host Nancy Morris talks with Dr. Peter Yates and Amy Adams about their scoping review on sibling sexual abuse (SSA), a critical step in consolidating fragmented research on this under-explored issue. By mapping the current knowledge base, their work identifies gaps in research, clarifies definitions, and lays the groundwork for improved understanding and future studies, making it an invaluable resource for addressing SSA more effectively.   Dr. Yates and Amy Adams discuss the complexities of defining SSA, revealing 27 different definitions in the literature and stressing the importance of clear, consistent language to avoid stigma and misinterpretation. They also examine prevalence rates, with adult disclosures ranging from 1.6% to 7%, highlighting the urgent need for increased societal awareness and targeted research. The conversation underscores the limitations of existing studies and calls for more rigorous approaches to fully understand SSA's onset, patterns, and long-term impacts.   About the Guest(s): Dr. Peter Yates: Dr. Peter Yates is a lecturer in social work at Glasgow Caledonian University in Scotland. With a background in working in a specialist service assisting children and young people exhibiting harmful sexual behavior, Dr. Yates has dedicated his research to studying sibling sexual abuse, primarily focusing on cases involving boys abusing their siblings. Amy Adams: Amy Adams is a doctoral researcher at the University of Birmingham, centered on family and sibling dynamics. Her current research delves into the relationships between siblings where one child has caused harm and another has been harmed, providing insight into the complex dynamics within such families.   Key Takeaways: Definition Complexity: The myriad definitions of sibling sexual abuse contribute to challenges in research and interventions, highlighting the need for a universal understanding to improve clarity and response. Prevalence Insights: Existing research reveals significant rates of SSA disclosure in adulthood, underscoring the need for societal acknowledgment and systemic approaches to dealing with such cases. Family Dynamics: The conversation delves into the factors correlating with SSA, emphasizing that it transcends socio-economic boundaries and often correlates with wider family disruptions. Need for Comprehensive Research: The episode stresses the importance of conducting more in-depth studies, including longitudinal research to establish causal pathways and effective interventions. Education and Intervention: Dr. Yates and Adams advocate for educational efforts starting early in childhood to prevent SSA, aiming for holistic family interventions tailored to support every family member affected by SSA.   Notable Quotes: "Because it's such a difficult concept to pin down… what we don't want to be doing is stigmatizing children and children's sexual behaviors unnecessarily." - Dr. Peter Yates "In terms of disclosure, most disclosures come in adulthood, not from children at the time of the incident." - Amy Adams "The idea that some people can touch children's bodies… can include and name specifically brothers and sisters." - Dr. Peter Yates "Sibling sexual abuse can take place in any families from across the socio-economic spectrum." - Dr. Peter Yates "We need more robust and stronger methodologies to make causal or pathway links." - Amy Adams   Resources:   Glasgow Caledonian University University of Birmingham SiblingsToo Podcast: Website AIM Project (Manchester)     Chapters:     0:00 Sibling Sexual Abuse: Understanding, Disclosure, and Stigma 2:55 Exploring Research Gaps in Sibling Sexual Abuse Studies 9:24 Challenges in Defining Sibling Sexual Abuse and Its Implications 18:00 Defining Sibling Sexual Abuse and Its Research Implications 22:33 Reevaluating Sibling Sexual Abuse and Its Traumatic Impact 25:28 Challenges in Managing Sibling Relationships After Harm 27:30 Understanding Sibling Sexual Abuse and Societal Challenges 31:11 Prevalence and Research on Sibling Sexual Abuse 33:41 Understanding the Impact of Sibling Sexual Abuse 39:22 Understanding Sibling Sexual Abuse Across Diverse Family Dynamics 45:09 Addressing Gaps in Sibling Sexual Abuse Research and Prevention 51:04 Challenges in Disclosing Sibling Sexual Abuse Within Families 56:39 Challenges of Disclosure in Adulthood for Childhood Trauma Survivors 58:52 Risks and Rewards of Sharing Personal Struggles 1:00:15 Understanding Non-Verbal Disclosures of Child Sexual Abuse 1:02:26 Early Education and Prevention of Sibling Sexual Abuse 1:05:45 The Challenge of Establishing Clear and Consistent Definitions 1:07:29 Defining and Understanding Sibling Sexual Behaviors and Abuses 1:11:27 Global Research Gaps in Sibling Sexual Abuse Studies 1:16:29 Exploring Whole Family Interventions for Sibling Sexual Abuse 1:21:28 Family Education as a Tool for Abuse Prevention 1:24:39 Addressing Sibling Sexual Abuse Through Broader Societal Responsibility 1:27:11 Increasing Research and Public Discourse on Sibling Sexual Abuse 1:34:57 Scoping Review on Sibling Sexual Abuse: Methodology and Future Directions 1:38:29 Sharing Open Access Research on the SiblingsToo Podcast

Clark Fredericks turned himself in following the brutal murder of Sheriff Dennis Pegg in Sussex County, New Jersey.  Considering Clark's long history of drug abuse, motorcycle gang membership, and periodic unemployment, Clark assumed the worst.  But much to his shock and bewilderment, each law enforcement officer and guard that came into his holding cell, praised him for his actions.  This is a man who pivoted a nightmare into a mission.

Trigger warning! This episode is NOT meant to be heard by children unless our mom audience feels they're ready for it. If you're a survivor of any sexual trauma, as a child or as an adult, you may not be ready for it either, so gauge your ability to revisit the past. We are here for you either way. If you need resources to deal with PTSD due to a history of abuse, we have links for you in the shownotes, and we are always just a DM/PM or email away. This episode IS meant to prepare us to hear the hard truths about child sex abuse, such as our personal experiences with it, how pervasive it is, and also new things, like how subversive it can be. Learn about grooming, disclosure, even forgivenesss, and how to be the safety net our kids need in the event that the worst should happen; may Allah SWT protect them all always. Ameen. Shariea Shoatz and our team made ourselves incredibly vulnerable in this episode because we trust our Muslim and non Muslim mom sisters to receive these hard truths in love and compassion, and to offer those in turn to themselves, as well as to their children. We are not alone in this. ... Sexual abuse doesn't happen because we are Americans and that's "this culture." NO! Sexual abuse doesn't monopolize any one country or society. Many cultures within and without the US have to deal with it, but we have the opportunity to dive deep into this difficult topic and figure out how to prevent and treat it. Mommying means rolling up our sleeves for the sake of the kids and our God-given duty to protect them at all costs.Shariea Shoatz is on the money when she says education is the best prevention, so that's where most of this conversation will be. Hugs for anyone who needs them after this one! Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, or click on our bio to listen right on our website.

We look at the chilling realities of grooming and child sexual abuse as we unpack the disturbing revelations from the Max Nickelodeon documentary, "Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV." It highlights the exploitation and abuse of "Drake & Josh" co-star Drake Bell, and details allegations of toxic behavior behind the scenes on some of the most popular Nickelodeon shows of the time, which were run by a man named Dan Schneider. Drake Bell's story and the 'Quiet on Set' documentary shed light on the systemic issues of child abuse within the entertainment industry and Hollywood. We explore the mechanisms of grooming, the impact on victims, and the often overlooked bystander effect that allows such child abuse to continue unchecked. Drawing on insights from child sexual abuse survivors and experts, we offer strategies for healing and empowerment for those affected by similar traumas. This exploration is not just about uncovering the dark truths but also about providing a beacon of hope and understanding for highly sensitive people and anyone on a journey of self-improvement and seeking to safeguard the innocence and wellbeing of children in a world where their vulnerability is exploited.

A New Orleans police officer sexually abused a teenage girl he met on the job. He is one of hundreds of officers arrested for child sexual abuse over the past two decades. Washington Post reporter Jessica Contrera talks about investigating allegations against law enforcement. The SAT exam is now an hour shorter and completely digital. NBC News has more. The Wall Street Journal remembers Shigeichi Negishi, the inventor of the karaoke machine, who’s died at 100. Today’s episode was guest-hosted by Yasmeen Khan.

One of the dark sides of the rapid development of artificial intelligence and machine learning is the increase in computer-generated child pornography and other child sexual abuse material, or CG-CSAM for short. This material threatens to overwhelm the attempts of online platforms to filter for harmful content—and of prosecutors to bring those who create and disseminate CG-CSAM to justice. But it also raises complex statutory and constitutional legal issues as to what types of CG-CSAM are, and are not, legal.To explore these issues, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota and Lawfare Senior Editor Alan Rozenshtein spoke with Riana Pfefferkorn, a Research Scholar at the Stanford Internet Observatory, who has just published a new white paper in Lawfare's ongoing Digital Social Contract paper series exploring the legal and policy implications of CG-CSAM. Joining in the discussion was her colleague David Thiel, Stanford Internet Observatory's Chief Technologist, and a co-author of an important technical analysis of the recent increase in CG-CSAM.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.
