He urges listeners to stay alert and watchful in communities that may host large crowds. Before introducing his guest, Dr. Williams also shares a brief teaching on resilience, encouraging survivors to acknowledge their feelings, seek trusted support, learn about trauma, set healthy boundaries, develop coping strategies, practice self-compassion, and allow healing to unfold over time rather than trying to force it. He frames resilience not as something to buy or imitate from someone else, but as something already present inside a person that can be uncovered and strengthened. JoDee Neil and the Purpose of Outcry Witness Dr. Williams then welcomes JoDee Neil, an attorney who has spent more than two decades working with survivors and prosecuting or handling cases involving sexual abuse and crimes against children. He praises her recently released book, Outcry Witness, and strongly recommends it to parents, counselors, teachers, attorneys, judges, and police officers. JoDee explains that the title comes from a Texas legal term describing the first adult to whom a child discloses abuse. That adult, the outcry witness, may later testify in court about what the child said. She says she intentionally wrote the book in a concise, practical format that people could carry easily, read privately, and use as a helpful guide rather than an overwhelming legal text. The Scale of Abuse and the Hidden Reality Survivors Carry A major theme of the conversation is the widespread prevalence of sexual violence. JoDee cites statistics showing that one in four girls may be sexually assaulted before age 18 and that significant numbers of women and men live with the effects of contact sexual violence. She says these numbers likely remain underreported, especially for boys and men. The two discuss how abuse is often far more common than people want to admit and how many survivors carry silence, shame, and isolation for years or even decades. JoDee says some of the hardest cases for her to emotionally process involve abuse within biological families, and she also warns about the growing horror of AI-generated child sexual abuse material and the many ways new technology can exploit children. Shame, Disclosure, and the Need to Be Believed JoDee and Dr. Williams spend significant time discussing shame and disclosure. JoDee explains that many survivors remain frozen and unable to speak because trauma creates paralysis, fear, and deep internalized shame. She says that when a child or adult finally discloses abuse and is not believed, that response can be even more damaging than the original abuse. Both stress that a child usually has nothing to gain by making such a disclosure and that the details children share often reveal knowledge and experience they could not easily fabricate. JoDee says adults must listen carefully, believe children, and understand that disclosure is often a slow and painful process. Dr. Williams adds that survivors can spend decades suppressing trauma, only to have it damage their relationships, bodies, and emotional lives over time. Parents, Predators, and the Failure to Take Warning Signs Seriously The discussion then turns to what parents and adults miss or ignore. JoDee says one of the most basic failures is simply refusing to believe a child who says someone is creepy or that something bad happened. She urges adults to stop automatically giving suspicious people the benefit of the doubt when warning signs are already present. The conversation also explores predator behavior more broadly, with JoDee explaining that predators often do not resemble the stereotypical stranger in a van. Instead, they may appear respectable, trusted, polished, and safe. She argues that adults now need evidence-based self-protection and far greater vigilance in everyday life, including around sports teams, sleepovers, schools, public bathrooms, phones, social media, and internet-connected devices. Both speakers say parents must know the adults around their children, supervise access to technology, and stop assuming that danger only comes from obvious outsiders. Technology, Sextortion, and the Limits of Legal Protection Another major section of the interview focuses on technology and the legal difficulties surrounding online exploitation. JoDee warns about AI, deepfakes, image scraping, online grooming, and the permanence of harmful digital content once it is created or circulated. She says schools and parents are often not doing enough to lock down devices and online access. When Dr. Williams asks about sextortion and app-based exploitation, JoDee responds that large technology companies remain difficult to challenge because federal legal protections shield them from much civil liability. She explains that this leaves many survivors with little recourse even when harm began through apps, platforms, or online tools. Her frustration with those systemic barriers is part of why she says she is moving more toward consulting and broader public education rather than relying only on courtroom-based solutions. A Justice System That Often Re-Traumatizes Survivors JoDee also speaks candidly about the legal system itself, arguing that survivors often receive very few protections while defendants receive numerous constitutional safeguards. She describes child sexual abuse cases that drag on for years and says survivors are too often treated as though they are presumptively lying. She expresses frustration about the lack of structural protections for children and about the emotional toll of watching vulnerable people repeatedly retraumatized by court processes. When asked what kind of change is needed, she says she has a long list of reforms in mind and points especially to the need for a system that treats child survivors with greater dignity, urgency, and care. Even while acknowledging tools like forensic interviews and closed-circuit testimony, she says the broader justice framework still fails many of the people it is supposed to protect. JoDee Neil's Own Healing Journey and a Closing Message of Hope Near the end of the program, JoDee shares some of her own experience as a survivor, explaining that it took her many years to meaningfully speak the truth about what happened to her. She says she survived for a long time by compartmentalizing pain, avoiding it, and using unhealthy coping strategies, but eventually began to release it through writing and truth-telling. She describes healing as a non-linear, deeply spiritual process and says holding her published book in her hands felt like reclaiming authorship over part of her life and purpose. She also mentions future writing projects, including books on how mothers are treated in family courts and how perpetrator behavior affects workplaces. Dr. Williams closes by praising Outcry Witness, encouraging listeners to buy and review the book, and reminding survivors that no matter how painful their experiences have been, there is always hope and healing remains possible.

Dr. Elizabeth Letourneau (One in Five) is a leading prevention researcher and Luke Malone is an Emmy-nominated journalist. Elizabeth and Luke join Armchair Expert to discuss the staggering prevalence of child sexual abuse, why this subject is so difficult to talk about publicly, and how a reluctant interview became a long collaboration. Elizabeth, Luke, and Dax talk about the difference between pedophilia and offending, why so much child sexual abuse happens at the hands of other kids, and how the current justice system often fails both victims and young offenders. Elizabeth and Luke explain why prevention should be treated as a public health issue, how shame prevents people from seeking help before harm happens, and why compassion and accountability have to exist together.Sign up now in the app or at grubhub.com/plus/golddays to unlock exclusive Gold Days deals.Check Allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds: https://www.allstate.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week's episode is one of the most important and tender conversations we've ever had on the Finding God Podcast. We're talking about how to support survivors of child sexual abuse in the church with honesty, compassion, and a trauma‑informed, faith‑centered lens.This episode is for survivors, parents, church leaders, and anyone who wants to help create safer, healthier, more accountable faith communities. We explore the emotional, psychological, and spiritual impact of abuse, how to respond when a child discloses, and what true support looks like in the eyes of God.✨ Episode OverviewIn this episode, Keana breaks down:The long‑term effects of child sexual abuseHow abuse in the church creates “double trauma”The A.R.E.S. framework (Adverse Religious Experiences Scale) created by Dr. Laura Anderson and Kyle J. HowardHow ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) impact a child's health, relationships, and spiritual developmentWhat survivors need most from parents, churches, and communitiesHow to support healing on both a personal and spiritual levelWhat to do when a child discloses abuseHow to make a report and protect the child moving forwardThis episode is gentle, non‑graphic, and deeply validating.

What are we missing in how we record, recognise, and respond to child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE)? In this episode, we explore key insights from two important pieces of research: the Department for Education (March 2026) report on recording practices and serious incident notifications, and findings from the Child Sexual Exploitation Centre. Together, they highlight a critical issue: recording is not a neutral process. It actively shapes what becomes visible, what is understood as harm, and ultimately, how systems respond to children's experiences. In this week's episode we discuss: How recording practices vary across agencies—and why this matters Why CSAE often presents through patterns, not clear evidence The impact of thresholds and uncertainty on professional judgement How serious incident reporting can create unequal learning and scrutiny Key questions for reviewers to better centre children's lived experiences   Are you ready to find out more about independent review work?

Theater has the power to move people to make change, and Jay Sefton is hoping to draw on that with his one-man play, “Unreconciled,” which tells his story of being sexually assaulted by a parish priest as a 13-year-old. The play is touring Pennsylvania ahead of potential action in the State Senate on two bills that would revise the state's statute of limitations for survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Racquel Williams talks with Sefton and Rep. Nate Davidson, who introduced the legislation.  Then, Shara Dae Howard gets a backstage tour of the Walnut Street Theatre, hailed as America's oldest theatre. Their upcoming production of the musical “1776” looks back at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, right before its 250th anniversary.

In this episode of One in Ten, host Teresa Huizar engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Frank Putnam, Professor of Psychiatry at UNC School of Medicine, about childhood trauma, focusing on the Female Growth and Development Study, a 35-year longitudinal, cross-sequential study of girls ages 6–15 with CPS-substantiated intrafamilial sexual abuse and a matched comparison group, followed across three generations with repeated psychological, medical, and biological assessments.

Episode: Understanding Child Sexual Abuse in the ChurchEpisode SummaryIn this powerful and necessary episode, we explore the realities of child sexual abuse in the church — how it happens, why it continues, and what we can do to prevent it. This conversation is grounded in compassion, education, and truth, without graphic detail or sensationalism.Using insights from Darkness to Light's Stewards of Children Training, we break down grooming behaviors, institutional patterns, and the systems that allow abuse to go unnoticed. We also discuss why children rarely disclose abuse and how adults can respond in ways that protect and empower them.Because many listeners come from faith backgrounds, this episode also includes short, public‑domain Bible verses that affirm something essential: ✨ Protecting children is biblical. ✨ Reporting abuse is biblical. ✨ Exposing wrongdoing is biblical.This episode is part of our April series for Child Sexual Abuse Awareness Month.

Survivors of childhood sexual abuse say the Epstein case has led to more awareness of the issue. We talk with local abuse survivors who say they have found peace through art.

Joseph Duggar is the seventh of nineteenth child born to Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. The family became famous on TLC's programs Nineteen Kids and Counting and Counting On. His older brother Josh Duggar was arrested and convicted of charges around child sexual abuse materials. Now, Joseph Duggar is at the center of yet another sexual abuse scandal.He is accused of lewd and lascivious behavior — molestation of a victim less than twelt-years-old and lewd and lascivious behavior conducted by a person eighteen years or older. This stems from a 2020 incident that allegedly occurred in Panama City Beach, in Florida's Bay County involving a then-nine-year-old girl.Duggar has also been hit with multiple counts around child endangerment in Arkansas.

⚠️ Content warning: This episode discusses child sexual abuse and trauma. This episode is one of the most important conversations we've had.We are joined by psychologist and survivor Maria Esguerra, alongside Gilly and Cheryl, to talk openly about child sexual abuse, trauma, and the reality of growing up in high-control groups and cults.This isn't an easy conversation to have but it's an important one. What you're about to hear brings together both professional insight and lived experience. It's a conversation grounded in real stories, but also informed by the clinical understanding of trauma and abuse.We break down:-What child sexual abuse actually is (and what many people misunderstand)-Why so many survivors question: “Does what happened to me count?”-How grooming, authority, and coercion replace obvious violence-The lifelong impact of trauma, shame, and silence-Why survivors often don't come forward and what happens when they do-How cult environments make abuse harder to recognize, report, and stopIf you're a survivor, I want you to know this: you are not alone. What you feel makes sense. Your reactions, your confusion, your pain, it all comes from something real. And none of what happened was your fault.If this isn't your experience, I ask you to listen with care. Try to understand, even if it's uncomfortable.

In this episode of One in Ten, host Teresa Huizar interviews filmmaker Norah Shapiro and actor and executive producer Anthony Edwards about their award-winning documentary Magic and Monsters, which follows survivors of the Children's Theatre Company abuse scandal in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They describe charismatic artistic director John Clark Donahue as a serial child abuser who fostered a culture with multiple perpetrators, the 2010s Minnesota statute-of-limitations lookback that enabled 17 civil lawsuits, and survivors' ongoing sense that accountability and acknowledgment remain lacking. The conversation highlights institutional betrayal, brand protection, and the need for boundaries in youth-serving organizations, alongside the healing power of being believed and connecting with other survivors.Time Stamps 00:00 Welcome And Premise 00:36 Why This Film Matters 01:30 Host Reaction And Setup 02:51 Case Recap And Timeline 06:05 Anthony Edwards Connection 09:53 Ethics Of Survivor Storytelling 11:45 Trauma Informed Filmmaking 16:22 Healing Through Community 18:07 Institutional Grooming Dynamics 21:59 Prevention Lessons For Parents 23:20 Culture Of Trust And Othering 25:40 Magic And Monsters Duality 26:35 Institutional Betrayal 27:22 Protecting the Brand 31:06 Seeking Acknowledgement 33:19 Trauma and Self Care 35:09 Unresolved Justice 36:50 Recovery Through Connection 41:54 Being Believed Matters 43:32 Film Impact and Next Steps 47:47 Closing Thanks and Resources ResourcesMagic & MonstersSupport the showDid you like this episode?

In this episode, we take a closer look at two key topics—child sexual abuse and sexual assault—from the newly released white paper “Women's Safety & Security 2025: Utahns' Awareness, Understanding, and Attitudes.”Based on an 83-item survey conducted in October and November of 2025, this study collected data from more than 5,200 Utahns across both representative and convenience samples. This marks the third consecutive year of data collection, allowing us to examine how perceptions and experiences have shifted since the 2023 and 2024 surveys. We walk through key findings from the two sections mentioned to better understand the challenges, trends, and opportunities shaping the lives of Utah women and girls today.Dr. Susan Madsen, an Extension Professor of Leadership at Utah State University and the Founding Director of the UWLP and A Bolder Way Forward, is joined by two Bolder Way Forward advisors. First, Matthew Hartvigsen is the Executive Director of Saprea. He oversees initiatives that work to liberate individuals and societies from child sexual abuse and its lasting impacts. He serves as a spoke advisor in BWF for the Child Sexual Abuse spoke. Also joining is Dr. Julie L. Valentine who joined the University of Utah College of Nursing in October 2023 as a Professor and was at BYU for many years prior. She serves as a BWF advisor for the Sexual Assault Spoke. Her ultimate professional objective is to significantly reduce instances of sexual and gender-based violence in Utah and beyond. Support the show

Laura interviews Ella McCrystal about surviving child sexual abuse, rape and domestic abuse, and the complex dynamics that can keep victims silent - including people-pleasing, fear, and when other family members and friends support and enable the abuser.  Together they discuss the red flags that a child is being groomed, accountability and societal attitudes towards abusers, and the urgent need to centre survivors rather than protecting perpetrators or reputations. Laura draws parallels with Virginia Roberts Giuffre and the Jeffrey Epstein case, the protection of powerful perpetrators and the societal narratives that often silence victims while enabling abuse to continue.  Ella also shares insight into her journey of healing and recovery, offering an honest and hopeful perspective on rebuilding life after trauma.   ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of child sexual abuse, rape, domestic abuse and trauma, which some listeners may find distressing.

If we abolish the family policing system, how do we respond to child sexual abuse? Abolition helps us create a world where all children are safe and supported by their communities. We're addressing the problem, not just sweeping it under the rug. We speak with award-winning journalist and author Roxanna Asgarian about her essay “Reclaiming Safety for Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse.” Roxanna explores how the current carceral response to child sexual harm—rooted in punishment, separation, and shame—fails survivors and perpetuates cycles of trauma. Together, we discuss what safety and accountability can look like outside of prisons, foster care, and family policing. Drawing from her reporting and lived experience, Roxanna invites us to imagine community-based pathways to healing that honor survivors, hold those who harm accountable, and build the conditions where safety is possible for everyone.About Our Guest: Roxanna Asgarian is a Texas-based journalist and the author of We Were Once a Family: A Story of Love, Death, and Child Removal in America, which won the 2023 National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction, the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction, and the L.A. Times Book Prize. Her reporting has appeared in The Washington Post, Texas Monthly, and New York Magazine. A survivor of child sexual harm, Roxanna has spent years covering stories at the intersections of child welfare, justice, and community care—centering the voices of those most impacted by family separation and systemic neglect.Episode Notes: Support the work of upEND: upendmovement.org/donateEpisode Transcript: upendmovement.org/podcast/episode303/ Read “Reclaiming Safety for Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse” by Roxanna Agarian. Connect with Roxanna's work at RoxannaAsgarianWrites.com and read her award-winning book, We Were Once a Family.Roxanna discusses Hidden Water Healing Circles and Freedom Community Center.Explore the Reclaiming Safety series: upendmovement.org/safetyCredits: Hosted by Josie Pickens and Jaison OliverProduced by Sydnie Dan'el MaresMixed by Imani Crosby

Ask Rachel anythingThere's been a dramatic increase in reports of grooming, sextortion and AI generated child sexual abuse material in recent years, and most parents believe politicans and technology companies aren't doing enough to protect kids.The UK government recently announced that makers of AI chatbots that put children at risk will face massive fines or even see their services blocked in the UK under law changes.And the French offices of Elon Musk's X were recently raided by the Paris prosecutor's cyber-crime unit, as part of an investigation into suspected offences including complicity in the possession of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Four in five EU citizens support requiring online service providers to detect, report and remove child sexual abuse material, but while governments and technology companies wrangle over a fast-developing issue, we parents need accurate information and support on how best to keep our kids safe if they are online. The Internet Watch Foundation has been around for 30 years and works alongside the UK charity Childline to protect children who have been affected, by offering emotional support and a means of tagging and removing images that predators use to extort and make money online.THE BEST PROTECTION:Keep devices out of bedrooms and bathrooms.Read my devices guide, with links to all of the relevant episodes, hereTop tips from this episodeKEY RESOURCES:TALK resource Report Remove tool  Create a Family AgreementUK Safer Internet Centre website - https://saferinternet.org.uk/Internet Matters website https://www.internetmatters.org/Support the showPlease hit the follow button if you like the podcast, and share it with anyone who might benefit.

We are re-airing this episode in light of Human Trafficking Awareness Day (Jan. 11th). Hope and Strength goes out to all victims, suffering and saved.[Content Warning]: Neglect, Substance Abuse, Domestic Violence, Child Sexual Abuse, Rape, Human Trafficking of a Child ,Exploitation, Attempted Suicide, and Graphic Discussions of Abuse Related Injuries.Today, Jan is joined by Elizabeth Rose, who shares her story of neglect and childhood sexual abuse that began early on in her life. She talks about the normalization of abuse in her home and the grooming and manipulation she experienced. Being trafficked as a teenager, abandoned by her mother, and living in multiple foster care homes as an adolescent, Elizabeth Rose has a unique perspective on the systemic injustices that are faced by children who are neglected, abused and exploited. In this conversation, Jan and Elizabeth Rose discuss the importance of education, advocacy, trauma-informed care, and support for survivors of human trafficking. They highlight the need for community belief and understanding, as well as the role of legislation in preventing and addressing trafficking.  They also discuss the notion that many people believe human trafficking only occurs far away, but in reality, it's happening right here in North America, often perpetrated by someone familiar to us.  Lastly, they discuss the systemic failures in the support systems for survivors and the need for resources as well as education in the community. The conversation ends with a message of hope and resilience for all survivors and Elizabeth Rose shares about how being an advocate for others has helped her in her healing journey.Elizabeth Rose would like to highlight:The Joy Smith FoundationLuma & BloomIf you or someone you know is experiencing emotional distress or suicidal ideation, please access the resources below:National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: Call/Text 988National Sexual Assault Hotline  (RAINN) : 1-800-656-HOPE (4673)National Alliance for Mental Illness: 1-800-950-6264Subscribe / Support / Contact:

In this episode of Perfect Prey, I'm joined by Andrew Carpenter, a solicitor and partner at Webster Lawyers in Australia, widely known for his work holding child sexual abuse perpetrators accountable and advocating for systemic reform.Andrew and I have a frank, uncomfortable, and deeply necessary conversation about child sexual abuse, grooming, coercive control, and the institutional failures that continue to endanger children. We explore how child predators use the same grooming tactics as coercive controllers, how technology and AI have dramatically increased access to abuse material, and why legal systems—including family courts—so often fail to protect children and the parents trying to keep them safe.This episode centers the reality that child sexual abuse is not rare, not accidental, and not a crime of opportunity—it is intentional, patterned, and enabled by silence, disbelief, and systemic blind spots.What we coverHow child sexual abuse perpetrators groom children, families, and institutionsWhy all child predators use coercive control and relational grooming tacticsThe disturbing accessibility of child abuse material onlineHow technology, AI, and social media are being weaponized against childrenWhy most abuse occurs within trusted relationships and family systemsThe failures of criminal courts and family courts to protect child victimsWhy lack of physical evidence does not mean abuse did not occurWarning signs, behavioral red flags, and changes parents should not ignoreHow shame, fear, and silence protect perpetrators—not childrenWhat meaningful prevention, accountability, and reform must addressWhy listenIf you are a survivor, protective parent, clinician, attorney, educator, or advocate, this episode provides critical insight into how child sexual abuse actually operates—and why so many children are disbelieved, retraumatized, or returned to unsafe environments. Andrew's work exposes how deeply embedded these harms are within systems that claim to protect children, and why uncomfortable conversations are essential to change.Guest bio (short)Andrew Carpenter is a solicitor and partner at Webster Lawyers in Australia, specializing in child sexual abuse litigation and survivor advocacy. He is widely recognized for challenging institutional failures, advocating for legal reform, and amplifying survivor voices in cases where children have been silenced or ignored.

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse Q&A, Bobby Thrasher, a lawyer specializing in child sexual abuse, discussed the Circle of Hope Girls Ranch in Missouri, which operated from 2006 to 2020. The ranch, which promised reform and education, was revealed to be a site of severe abuse and neglect. Thrasher highlighted the lack of oversight and accreditation in such institutions, especially those with religious components. He emphasized the need for legislative changes, including extending the statute of limitations for child sexual abuse cases. Thrasher also shared insights on supporting survivors, advocating for legal reforms, and the challenges of dealing with institutional abuse.Booby Thrasher can be reached at https://monseesmayer.com/If you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠click here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or send us an email at narcissistapocalypse@pm.meClick on the title of our blog to read the Emotional Abuse Checklist.

Trigger warning: sexual abuse For many survivors of child sexual abuse, the moment the truth comes out can almost be another form of trauma while for others it can be cathartic. In fact as Alison Mau knows very well, the needs of survivors are infinitely varied.Alison is an award-winning journalist with more than thirty years in major television, radio, and print media roles. A long-time advocate for gender equity, in the wake of the global #metoo movement, Alison created a ground breaking investigative journalism project at NZ's largest news platform in 2018. Over five years, the #MeTooNZ project published dozens of major investigations and supported hundreds of survivors to tell their stories, leading to widespread change in the way sexual harassment is reported by media.In many ways her experience helped her when it came to exploring and sharing her own personal experience with childhood sexual abuse.In 2023, Alison co-founded Tika, a tech-first access to justice charity designed to remove the barriers survivors experience when seeking justice and accountability.Her #1 bestselling memoir, No Words For This, was released in April 2025. In this episode she shares:- How her curiosity, optimism, and likely undiagnosed ADHD have shaped who she is- Why she wrote No Words for This and the lack of language around sexual harm- The decision to tell her family's story and why leaving it out felt dishonest- The unexpected impact of the book and how it helped survivors feel less alone- Her role leading Me Too NZ and changing how survivor stories are reported- What trauma-informed journalism looks like in practice- How a phone call from her sister brought buried childhood abuse into the open- The relief and complexity of discovering she was no longer alone- Why justice and healing are not one-size-fits-all for survivors- How she transformed anger, struggle, and grief into advocacy and systemic changeKey Quotes “I spent my whole life pushing it down just so I could survive, until one moment made it impossible to stay alone with it.” “Struggling isn't weakness, it's what happens when you're carrying something that was never meant to be carried alone.” “The hardest part wasn't what happened to me, but learning to believe it wasn't my fault.” More aboutFind out more about Tika here.

Leslie is joined by Raul Torrez, Attorney General of New Mexico. Torrez is a career state and federal prosecutor who has served at every level of the justice system. Since taking office as New Mexico's 32nd Attorney General in 2023, he has made protecting children a central priority—holding major tech companies accountable for enabling online abuse and investigating systemic failures in the child welfare system.  The two discuss Torrez's lawsuits against Meta and Snap Inc. In December 2023, A.G. Torrez filed a lawsuit against Meta Platforms, Inc., alleging that Facebook and Instagram enabled child sexual abuse and human trafficking. The complaint details how Meta's platforms allowed predators to exploit minors and how the company's algorithms contributed to the spread of harmful content. In September 2024, A.G. Torrez filed a lawsuit against Snap Inc., alleging that Snapchat's design features and algorithms facilitated child sexual exploitation and sextortion. The lawsuit claims that Snapchat misled users about the safety of its platform, particularly regarding disappearing messages, and failed to implement adequate safeguards for minors. Lastly, the pair shares information and resources on how parents can help protect their children online, and how to detect if their child may have experienced sexual abuse or exploitation online. There's some great information and resources on the New Mexico government's website specifically for parents to help navigate these issues.

Child sexual abuse thrives in silence, but healing thrives in community. When survivors are seen, supported, and believed, resilience becomes possible. In this episode, Sharlee Dixon sits down with Chris Yadon, Managing Director of Saprea, a nonprofit dedicated to liberating individuals and society from child sexual abuse and its lasting impacts through healing and prevention. As Saprea's first employee, Chris helped launch the organization in 2015 and now leads its mission to drive meaningful, large-scale social change around one of society's most difficult and urgent issues. Drawing on a background in executive leadership across technology and healthcare, Chris brings both strategic clarity and deep compassion to his work. He is also a sought-after speaker on emotional healing, child sexual abuse prevention in a hypersexualized world, and the transformative power of community. Above all, Chris is a devoted husband and father of six, grounding his professional efforts in a deeply personal commitment to protecting children and supporting survivors. Together, Sharlee and Chris explore how Saprea is confronting the silent epidemic of child sexual abuse through innovative healing programs for adult survivors, practical prevention tools for parents and caregivers, and a collective call to break the silence, build resilience, and create a safer, more compassionate world for every child.   For more information about Saprea, please visit: https://saprea.org For prevention resources for parents and clinicians, please visit: https://saprea.org/prevent/ To learn more about volunteering opportunities, please visit: https://saprea.org/volunteer/ Consider a donation to Saprea at: https://support.saprea.org/give/230670/#!/donation/checkout For more information about partnerships, please visit: https://saprea.org/partnerships/ Connect with Chris Yadon on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-yadon-mpa-3533937/ Connect with Chris Yadon on Substack: https://chrisyadon.substack.com

Pediatric emergency medicine physician Bronwen Carroll discusses her article, "The childhood risk we never talk about." Bronwen explains the staggering data showing child sexual abuse is far more common than many other hazards (like choking or drowning) that parents routinely prioritize for prevention. She explores why this epidemic of sexual abuse lives in the shadows: the topic feels taboo and the solutions often seem vague compared to installing a car seat. Bronwen breaks down a practical, three-pronged approach to child safety, focusing on access, compliance, and (most critically) secrecy. She provides a simple, non-threatening, and powerful conversation starter for all parents: teaching children that no adult should ever ask them to keep a secret, and clarifying the crucial difference between a harmful "secret" and a happy "surprise." Learn the essential strategies every parent needs to know to start this difficult conversation and empower their kids.

In this episode of 'One in Ten,' host Teresa Huizar speaks with Dr. Maggie Stevenson, Associate Professor of Psychology at Kenyon College, about the interplay between jurors' personal histories of child sexual abuse and their attitudes and decisions in similar cases. The conversation delves into Dr. Stevenson's meta-analysis study, which explores whether adult survivors of child sexual abuse exhibit more empathy toward child victims and examines the implications for jury selection. The discussion highlights how severity of past abuse impacts juror empathy, potential biases, and the need for more trauma-informed practices within the court system. The episode raises important questions about practical legal implications and suggests areas for future research to ensure fairness in child sexual abuse trials.  Time Stamps: TimeTopic 00:00 Introduction to Today's Topic 01:28 Meet Dr. Maggie Stevenson 02:06 Research Background and Study Design 04:53 Key Findings and Implications 10:17 Challenges in Defining Severity 21:01 Practical Implications for the Court System 26:04 Future Research Directions 31:12 Conclusion and Final Thoughts  Resources:More Severe Juror Sexual Abuse Strengthens Empathy for Child Sexual Abuse Victims: Meta-Analyses - Tayler M.
