When you're in a high-conflict divorce, the behaviors often feel indistinguishable. Gaslighting. Manipulation. Control. Chaos. Emotional whiplash. It's why so many people fixate on one question: Is my spouse a narcissist? In this episode, I'm joined by licensed psychotherapist and narcissistic abuse expert Chelsey Brooke Cole to explore a deeper truth—when the impact on you feels the same, does the label actually matter? We unpack what narcissistic abuse truly is, how it overlaps with other forms of emotional and psychological abuse, and why abusers and narcissists often behave in nearly identical ways during divorce. Especially when they're losing control. Especially when the legal process becomes another tool for domination, punishment, and destabilization. This conversation is not about diagnosing your ex. It's about understanding patterns so you can stop internalizing blame, stop doubting your reality, and stop negotiating from fear. We talk about the internal experience of these dynamics—the fog, the shame, the fragmentation, the nervous system overload—and how those symptoms affect your ability to think clearly, make decisions, and advocate for yourself and your children. Most importantly, we focus on what actually helps. How to protect yourself emotionally and strategically during a high-conflict divorce. How to anticipate predictable escalations. How to step out of reactivity and into steadiness. And how to begin rebuilding your sense of identity, self-worth, and agency after prolonged psychological control. If you're divorcing someone who feels impossible, unpredictable, or emotionally dangerous, this episode offers clarity, validation, and a path forward rooted in reality—not labels. Chelsey Brooke Cole is a licensed psychotherapist, certified partner trauma therapist, bestselling author of If Only I'd Known!, and a nationally recognized expert in narcissistic abuse and complex trauma. She has been featured in USA Today, Psychology Today, HuffPost, WKRN News 2, and FOX 26 Houston, and supports thousands of survivors through her clinical work, education, and trauma-informed programs. This episode is for anyone navigating a high-conflict divorce who needs to understand what's happening, why it's so destabilizing, and how to move forward without losing themselves in the process.

Are Christians forbidden from engaging in politics, or is Scripture being selectively weaponized to keep believers silent? In this LIVE FREE special reaction episode, Pastor Josh responds to Rhett & Link's viral commentary on Christianity and politics, breaking down the biblical errors, cultural assumptions, and spiritual forces underneath the argument that Christians should “stay out of power.” This episode draws a clear line between faithful doubt vs. deliberate deception, and explains why political passivity is not a virtue, but a strategy the Bible warns us about. You'll learn: - Why Jesus rejecting Satan's offer was not a rejection of political authority, but of acquiring it the wrong way - The difference between refugees from doubt and apostles of unbelief (Jude 22–23) - Why “My kingdom is not of this world” is commonly misunderstood, and what Jesus actually meant - How secularism turns politics into a substitute religion (and why the state becomes god) - Why voting is not a sacrament, but a moral decision between available options - What it means to be the salt of the earth and how Christians are called to slow decay, not retreat - Why culture didn't become political, the government became theological - How Scripture views power, dominion, and Christ as King of Kings over every sphere

Community & Cultural Gaslighting: Protecting the Nervous System in an Age of ChaosWhen communities are flooded with conflicting narratives—each emotionally charged and claiming exclusive truth—the nervous system enters a state of chronic stress. This phenomenon, known as cultural gaslighting, destabilizes our sense of reality by overwhelming the brain's threat-detection systems while suppressing the prefrontal cortex responsible for discernment and reason. The result is widespread anxiety, polarization, and emotional exhaustion—not because people are weak or uninformed, but because prolonged exposure to contradiction and fear dysregulates the brain, vagus nerve, and stress response. What feels like confusion is often a physiological signal that coherence and safety have been disrupted.Protecting the mind and heart in such an environment begins with regulation before reaction. A calm nervous system restores clarity, allowing facts to be separated from emotional manipulation and complexity to replace binary thinking. Grounding in local reality, slowing the breath, limiting exposure, and refusing outrage-driven narratives help preserve both compassion and strength. True resilience is not numbness or anger, but the ability to remain embodied, thoughtful, and humane—anchored in truth without surrendering to chaos.Dr. Fred Clary, founder of Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique and lifting/life coach/ gym-chalk covered philosopher talks about Community Gaslighting!

Did you know that gaslighting doesn't only happen in romantic relationships, but can show up in families, friendships, workplaces, spiritual spaces, and even inside your own mind long after the other person is gone?In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau talks honestly about gaslighting, not as a buzzword, but as something that slowly teaches you to doubt yourself. Your memory. Your feelings. Your intuition. Drawing from her own experience and the work she's done with clients, Susan explains how gaslighting can leave you disconnected from your body, unsure of your truth, and constantly questioning whether you were right or wrong.She shares why the impact of gaslighting often continues long after the relationship or situation has ended, and why that ongoing self-doubt isn't a flaw. It's a survival response. Susan also talks about what healing really looks like, and it's not dramatic or confrontational. It's quiet and reparative. Learning to believe in yourself again. Reducing contact with invalidating energy. Setting clearer boundaries. Letting yourself rest, pause, and be silent without guilt.This episode is a gentle reminder that if you were gaslit, you were not weak. You were trusting, open, and human. Healing begins when you stop looking to others for closure and start choosing yourself, even when it feels uncomfortable.In This Episode:[00:00] Introduction [01:30] Gaslighting beyond romantic relationships[02:46] Defining gaslighting and its effects[04:02] Common phrases and accountability avoidance[05:22] Impact on intuition and self-trust[06:44] Personal experience and disconnection[08:57] Overriding intuition and survival response[10:10] Self-abandonment and explaining pain[11:12] Avoiding invalidating people and relearning self-care[12:18] Reparative self-care and trusting yourself[13:33] Physical responses and recognizing gaslighting[14:37] Slowing down and silence without guilt[15:49] Setting boundaries and reducing exposure[17:46] Distance as protection, not punishment[18:42] Self-love as loyalty and choosing peace[19:47] Why people stay and the role of hope[22:02] Healing feels quieter and rooted[23:13] Freedom from needing admission[24:34] The loop: replaying conversations[25:33] Closure comes from within[26:40] Breaking the loop and nervous system repair[27:47] Longer gaps and present-moment healing[28:53] Self-love means releasing the need for clarity[29:30] Conclusion Notable Quotes[03:26] “You stop asking, ‘Is this okay?' And start asking, ‘Am I okay for feeling this?'”[04:58] “Most gaslighting comes from people who cannot tolerate accountability.”[08:45] “Gaslighting separates you from your inner knowing.”[11:22] “You weren't too much. You were too aware for someone who needed control.”[12:09] “Self-care isn't a bubble bath. It's relearning how to listen to yourself without apology.”[13:24] “Your experience is valid because you lived it.”[19:15] “I choose peace over being right.”[21:18] “Staying doesn't mean you were weak. It means you were human.”[21:39] “Leaving is not a failure. It's wisdom arriving.”[25:53] “The same person who distorted your reality cannot be the one who restores it.”[27:47] “Some chapters do not end with understanding. They end with self-respect.”[28:42] “My peace does not require permission.”Susan GrauSusan Grau is an internationally celebrated intuitive life coach, a key opinion leader, author, medium and speaker, who discovered her ability to communicate with the spirit world after a near-death experience at age four.

In this episode (#317), we address one of the most destabilizing experiences betrayed partners face: the collapse of reality after discovering a partner's hidden addiction. When betrayal comes from someone who appeared kind, loving, and emotionally present, the trauma can feel especially disorienting. Partners often question their intelligence, intuition, and judgment—but we make it clear that intuition cannot detect information that was deliberately concealed. Betrayal is not a failure of perception; it is the result of sustained secrecy, compartmentalization, and integrity abuse.Rather than focusing on whether the addict is truly in recovery or what the future might hold, we invite partners to gently shift their attention back to themselves. Grounding becomes essential in the aftermath of betrayal, as the nervous system is often locked in hypervigilance and survival mode. We explore the importance of pausing—not freezing—so that decisions are not driven by fear, pressure, or urgency. Authentic wants and needs are not ultimatums or selfish demands; they are expressions of self-truth that deserve to be honored, especially after trauma.Finally, we discuss what it means to reclaim self-trust. Loving another person authentically requires seeing them as they truly are, not just through hope or potential—but it also requires honoring one's own authentic limits, capacity, and bandwidth. This episode is not about making the “right” relationship decision. It is about choosing a path that allows the betrayed partner to remain congruent, grounded, and whole. Healing does not require predicting the future; it begins by staying honest with yourself in the present.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:   From Shock to Self-Trust:  Reclaiming Your Inner Truth After BetrayalLearn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

Peace, Inc. — Brought to You by the Department of WarAs the language of empire shifts, so does its strategy.In this episode of Boiler Room, we examine the emerging contradiction at the heart of the so-called “new world order”: the quiet move toward renaming the U.S. Department of Defense as the Department of War, while simultaneously promoting global “Boards of Peace,” councils, and stability frameworks meant to manage conflict in an age of permanent war.Is this transparency — or rebranding?From peacekeeping to stabilization, from rules-based order to managed decline, we break down how war is no longer hidden, but normalized — and how peace itself is being repackaged as a bureaucratic product, granted conditionally and enforced selectively.This isn't about ending war.It's about standardizing it.Tonight's discussion includes:• The end of “defense” as a euphemism• Peace as governance, not resolution• Boards, councils, and the rise of managerial empire• Pax Americana 2.0 in a multipolar world• Language, power, and the normalization of permanent conflictHost:Bryan McClain (Hesher)Guests:Adam Clark (Ruckus)Mystical PharaohBazed-Lit AnalyzerWebsite: https://alternatecurrentradio.comSupport: https://alternatecurrentradio.com/support/Merch: https://alternate-current-radio.creator-spring.com/

Good Morning Liberty breaks down Trump's Davos/W.E.F. moment, the "quiet part out loud" politics, Congress' latest spending tricks, and why immigration arguments keep turning into excuses for bigger government. We also cover Thomas Massie's attack ad drama, Turning Point-style "fund ICE at any cost" logic, and the uncomfortable libertarian reality: the welfare state is the root problem, and mass deportation has no clean moral path under the system we've built. Then we revisit COVID-era gaslighting, natural immunity, and the Paul Offit admissions that make "we didn't know" sound like a cover story.

What lies behind Romance Fraud? Romance fraud is one of the fastest-growing forms of fraud worldwide, and one of the most emotionally devastating. It's also one of the most misunderstood.On this episode, I'm speaking to Becky Holmes, author of the bestselling book Keanu Reeves Is Not in Love With You. Becky didn't become interested in romance fraud through victimhood or research. She stumbled into it during the pandemic after being approached by scammers online — and instead of ignoring them, she decided to wind them up. What began as a joke — sending absurd messages, inventing ridiculous scenarios, and pushing scam scripts to breaking point — turned into something much more serious. Through humour, Becky uncovered the psychological mechanics of romance fraud: how trust is built, how isolation and gaslighting work, and why believing you're “too smart to fall for it” is often the most dangerous belief of all.In this conversation, we explore why laughing at scammers is not the same as blaming victims, why romance fraud closely mirrors patterns seen in abusive relationships, and why shame — not stupidity — keeps people trapped. We also talk about humour as a gateway to learning, the limits of victim-focused storytelling, and the uncomfortable truth that none of us are immune. This is a funny conversation in places. And then it isn't. This is not the first time the Human Risk Podcast has explored romance fraud. On a previous episode, I spoke with Anna Rowe, a victim of romance fraud, about the profound emotional and psychological impact of being deceived by someone you believed you loved.In this episode, we discuss:Why romance fraud is a psychological scam, not a technical oneHow humour can expose manipulation without mocking victimsThe striking parallels between romance fraud and abusive relationshipsIsolation, gaslighting, and shame as tools of controlWhy “it would never happen to me” is such a dangerous beliefThe role of AI, deepfakes, and evolving scam tacticsWhy fraud literacy matters — and why people don't seek it out until it's too lateThe emotional cost of online exposure and harassmentWhat institutions, platforms, and society still get wrong about fraudGuest ProfileBecky Holmes is an author, speaker, and writer specialising in fraud, online manipulation, and digital harm. Her first book, Keanu Reeves Is Not in Love With You, explores the world of romance fraud through humour, storytelling, and lived experience.Her second book, The Future of Fraud, examines how scams are evolving in a world shaped by AI and digital identity. Links and resourcesBecky's first book Keanu Reeves Is Not in Love With You - https://share.google/fKQ6qCL1l8Ygl1ey2The Future of Fraud her second (out April 2026) - https://share.google/fKQ6qCL1l8Ygl1ey2Becky on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/beckyholmeshatesspinach/Becky on Instagram: Becky Holmes (@deathtospinach)Becky on Twitter/X: https://x.com/deathtospinach?Becky's book agent profile: https://www.curtisbrown.co.uk/client/becky-holmesPrevious Human Risk Podcast episode with Anna Rowe on being a victim of romance fraud: https://www.humanriskpodcast.com/anna-rowe-on-romance-scams/AI-Generated Timestamped Summary00:00 – Why romance fraud mattersChristian explains why the podcast is returning to romance fraud, linking this episode to an earlier conversation with victim Anna Rowe (linked in the show notes).02:00 – How Becky Holmes got into romance fraudBecky describes how being approached by scammers during lockdown — and deciding to wind them up — accidentally turned into deep expertise.05:00 – When jokes expose the scriptAbsurd replies, fake crime scenes, and the moment Becky realised scammers weren't reading messages, just following scripts.09:00 – Laughing at scammers, not victimsWhy humour can highlight manipulation without blaming those who fall victim — and how the book shifts from comedy to something much darker.14:00 – Romance fraud as psychological abuseThe parallels with abusive relationships: isolation, gaslighting, shame, and why people stay, return, or fall again.21:00 – “It would never happen to me”Why believing you're too smart to fall for romance fraud is often the biggest risk of all.28:00 – What the media gets wrongVictim-focused storytelling, ignored systems, and why AI, deepfakes, and scam scripts matter more than headlines.36:00 – Fraud literacy and preventionWhy people don't seek out information about fraud until it's too late — and how humour can be a gateway to awareness.45:00 – The personal cost of online exposureOnline harassment, cyberflashing, and the emotional toll of spending years inside the systems you're critiquing.55:00 – What's next for BeckyUpcoming books, speaking work, and where to find her online.

What happens when you walk away from a high-profile, Emmy-winning career and decide to tell the truth—your truth—for the first time?In this powerful episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with Jamie Tompkins, a former Fox 13 Seattle news anchor turned truth-teller, survivor, and soon-to-be podcast host of Respectfully. Known for her poise in front of the camera, Jamie opens up about what was really happening behind the scenes: from the polished lights of broadcast journalism to the shadows of sexual harassment, burnout, and betrayal within a police department she once believed in.Jamie's story is more than a career pivot—it's a deep, unfiltered look at identity, trauma, strength, and what it really takes to reclaim your voice in a world that constantly tries to mute it.In this episode, we explore:Jamie's rise through the ranks of broadcast journalism and her decade-long career with Fox 13 SeattleThe intense public scrutiny and coded “feedback” women often face in the media industryHow being from New Jersey gave her the grit to push back against workplace culture that tried to flatten her personalityHer transition from the newsroom to working with the Seattle Police Department as Chief of Staff—and how that journey quickly unraveledThis is not just another career story. It's about:Toxic work environments and how they're often disguised as “opportunity”Gaslighting, sexual harassment, and how even in positions of power, women are forced to fight twice as hard to be taken seriouslyLeaving behind a life that looked glamorous on the outside but was quietly destroying her from withinCreative rebirth and why podcasting—on her own terms—was the outlet she didn't know she neededJamie shares the uncomfortable but necessary truth about why she walked away from it all, how she's healing through honesty, and what her upcoming podcast Respectfully will stand for. She reflects on therapy, fitness, family, and the radical act of saying no more—no more performance, no more compliance, no more pretending.What's especially striking is her clarity. Jamie doesn't speak in platitudes—she speaks from the grit of lived experience. She's unafraid to name names, call out hypocrisy, and discuss the ripple effect of trauma in professional and personal relationships. But this episode is not about bitterness. It's about freedom.Highlights include:Her early roots in musical theatre and how a chance opportunity turned into a decades-long careerHer surprising detour into police department leadership—and what she didn't see comingThe emotional toll of workplace harassment and the strength it took to walk awayFinding joy again in things like music, dogs, family holidays, and quiet momentsWhy going to the gym isn't just physical—it's mental survivalWhether you're a creative, a professional navigating burnout, or someone recovering from toxic environments, this episode will hit home. It's raw, it's real, and it's a reminder that sometimes, your second act is your best one yet.Want more from this episode?

House Speaker Mike Johnson's response to growing ICE violence is really something to behold. In one long, rambling answer, he blamed shooting victim Renee Good in every which way, absurdly claiming she'd been “taunting” ICE officers and “impeded” them, while insisting they'd been “very patient.” In another one, he played sleazy little games, claiming the violence represents the “tragic consequences” of ICE facing “too much resistance”—again blaming the victims for violence against them, without a hint of concern about ICE's conduct. We talked to Sarah Posner, author of several good books on the religious right, who is launching a new podcast next week called “Reign of Error.” We discuss Johnson's strain of Christianity, how Trump and MAGA fuse religious and secular authoritarianism, and why some leading Evangelicals are now calling on people to pray—not for the victims of Trump-MAGA violence, but rather for Kristi Noem and ICE.

Tara Beall-Gomes is a certified CT and FL therapist who founded Grit and Grace Recovery, which focuses on betrayal trauma, sex, and porn addiction. Together with Dr. Rob she highlights key differences between simple lies and manipulative gaslighting tactics, the impact that gaslighting has on a partnership, and the importance of empowering a gaslit partner after years of not knowing whether they can trust themselves.    TAKEAWAYS: [4:11] What is gaslighting from a therapist's perspective?  [6:13] Gaslighting affects more than your partnership. [7:44] Patterns in gaslighting, and why they appear.  [12:35] Simple lies or real gaslighting tactics?  [15:01] Common couples gaslighting patterns in Tara's office.  [20:31] Empowering a gaslit partner.  [23:04] Defining the ‘victim' and the ‘problem'.  [26:33] Learning to trust your gut.    RESOURCES: Sex and Relationship Healing @RobWeissMSW Sex Addiction 101  Seeking Integrity Free Sexual Addiction Screening Assessment Partner Sexuality Survey Tara Beall-Gomes   Seeking Integrity Podcasts are produced in partnership with Podfly Productions.    QUOTES: “Once we understand what something means, we can understand how we can change those behaviors in order to be construction instead of destructive.”  “Chances are, your gaslighting tactics are not just being used in your coupleship, but other areas of your life too.”  “Staying in the victim role is not going to contribute to optimal healing.” 

Tara Beall-Gomes and Dr. Rob continue their conversation about next-level gaslighting, including red flag behaviors in therapy, role-playing dialogues that highlight gaslighting language, and the role that a therapist can play in finding closure after years of betrayal. Tara also offers encouragement to a partner that is working to regain their spouses trust, and resources for anyone who is unable to pay for extensive therapy.    TAKEAWAYS: [1:25] Now he's gaslighting our therapist?  [3:48] Is gaslighting abusive?  [5:27] Role-play examples of gaslighting, projecting, and controlling.  [10:58] Shame and empathy with rigorous honesty.  [15:43] “I knew all along.” Now what?  [21:37] I can't believe anything my spouse says.  [25:25] Identifying the core values that drive our reactions.  [32:55] The role of your therapist in finding closure.  [34:50] Red flags in therapy behavior.  [38:52] Next steps when an addict has support and you don't.

Episode 4 of Doing Well with Diabetes Season 2 features Kerry Murphy, wife and mother to multiple people with type 1 diabetes and founder of Follow T1Ds, who explains how her long, layered exposure to T1D—from her sister-in-law and husband to her niece and daughter—pushed her from terrified observer to frontline advocate. She describes the collision between modern diabetes tech (CGMs, pumps, data-driven care) and school systems still operating on 1990s protocols, culminating in nurses refusing to follow CGM data during the school day.  After discovering Department of Justice rulings that treating CGM follow as a reasonable ADA accommodation applies nationwide, she built Follow T1Ds around three demands: follow T1D CGMs, follow parent input, and follow federal law. The conversation covers how parents can move from raw fear and frustration to strategic advocacy, why labeling kids “non-compliant” ignores context and equity, and why school nurses are often the only line of real safety for some students. Kerry's long-term aim is systems change so that parents don't have to become de facto lawyers and policy experts just to keep their kids safe at school.

When Renee Goode was killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, two completely different stories emerged from the same event. One side called her a domestic terrorist who weaponized her Honda Pilot, while the other saw a mother trying to escape. As a crisis manager from the Twin Cities, I break down the competing narratives from President Trump, JD Vance, Kristi Noem, Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor Jacob Frey to reveal the five hidden cues in any crisis communication: who gets humanized first, how they treat uncertainty, what the process looks like, what they ask you to do with your anger, and what happens to people who disagree. This isn't just political analysis, it's a framework you can apply to workplace drama, family conflict, or any situation where someone's trying to control the narrative. You'll learn why Walz's calm messaging worked after he learned from past mistakes, how Frey's profanity-laced response was strategically brilliant, and why the administration's gaslighting playbook falls apart under scrutiny. Once you learn to spot these patterns, you can't unsee them—in politics or in your personal life.Trigger Warning: This episode discusses a fatal police shooting and contains strong language.Want More Behind the Breakdown?

Understanding narcissism. There is hope. Understanding Narcissism Narcissism is a complex and often misunderstood personality trait. At its core, narcissism isn't about confidence. It's about insecurity disguised as entitlement. This term is frequently misunderstood, leading many to misidentify narcissistic traits as mere self-assurance. In reality, narcissism involves a fragile self-identity, protected through control, blame-shifting, and a lack of empathy. Narcissism exists on a spectrum. relationships more effectively. The Intersection of Narcissism and Anxiety Anxiety often accompanies relationships with narcissists. The confusion and manipulation involved in such relationships can exacerbate anxiety symptoms. Gaslighting, love bombing, and emotional manipulation leave individuals questioning their reality and self-worth. They may feel crazy. This cycle leads to heightened stress levels and can deeply impact emotional health. Many individuals with anxiety have histories of tumultuous relationships or dysfunctional family dynamics. Seeking Hope and Transformation Despite the challenges, there is hope. The path to healing involves finding clarity and re-establishing one's identity independently from the narcissist's influence. This journey can lead to freedom and renewed self-worth. Central to this transformation is understanding one's identity in Christ. Understanding one's identity in Christ and the character of God can offer a secure foundation for healing and overcoming abuse. Christian Faith: A Source of Strength Faith plays a pivotal role in finding hope amid challenges involving narcissism. Christian teachings encourage us to seek God's strength and wisdom in navigating difficult relationships. Relying on prayer and scripture provides clarity and peace. Faith assures us that no experience is wasted. God uses every trial to shape and strengthen us. Empowerment Through Understanding Recognizing narcissistic traits is empowering. It sets the stage for setting boundaries and prioritizing one's emotional health. Understanding narcissism equips individuals to address its challenges. This understanding promotes healthier relationships and personal well-being. It also helps people help others going through an experience with narcissism or covert abuse.

Why do so many women leave conversations feeling confused, guilty, or like everything is somehow their fault? In this episode of the Advancing Women Podcast, we dive into the subtle but corrosive relational patterns that show up in everyday work and home dynamics. The quiet processes that shift responsibility, distort accountability, and erode self-trust over time. We explore: DARVO” a defensive pattern (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender) that flips accountability and turns the person raising concerns into the “problem” Gaslighting: not the buzzword, but the researched process that erodes trust in your own perceptions over time, especially in unequal power dynamics Fragile accountability: when feedback is experienced as attack, reasonable expectations feel persecutory, and responsibility collapses under discomfort Invisible labor: the mental, emotional, and logistical work women disproportionately carry, and how it fuels the “nagging” trap This episode explains why these dynamics feel so disorienting, how they thrive in gendered systems, and what changes when we finally name them clearly. If you've ever wondered: Why you're always apologizing Why accountability conversations go nowhere Why you feel responsible without having real authority This episode offers language, clarity, and release from misplaced guilt. Key takeaway: You're not imagining it. These are known patterns. Naming them doesn't make you difficult, it makes you awake. And clarity is where advancing begins.

Law enforcement Explorer programs were created to mentor teens interested in policing. But decades of weak oversight created an environment where officers could manipulate that trust. Some exploited their roles, using their authority to groom, abuse, and silence the very teens they were entrusted to guide.Resources:RAINN – Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network: 24/7 hotline and resources for survivors of sexual assault and abuse.

Visitmalesurvivor.orgStaying Safe in Youth Law Enforcement Programs:If you or your child is involved in a Police Explorer program – or any youth mentorship run by law enforcement – there are steps you can take to reduce risk and create safer boundaries.Ask direct questions. Who runs the program? What are the policies around texting, ride-alongs, and one-on-one interactions? Are there rules that limit contact between adult officers and minors outside of scheduled events?Insist on transparency. Reputable programs should have clear, written guidelines about communication, supervision, and conduct. Ask to see them.Monitor ride-alongs. Know who your child is riding with, how long they're gone, and what the reporting procedures are.Watch the tech. Officers or advisors should never be Snapchatting, DMing, or texting minors privately. Monitor app usage and discuss healthy boundaries.Get involved. Show up to meetings. Get to know the adults running the program. Your presence as a parent or guardian helps make the space safer for everyone.Keep communication open. Let your child know they can talk to you about anything -- especially if something makes them uncomfortable. Make it clear that they won't be in trouble for speaking up.Getting Help:If you or someone you know has experienced abuse in a Police Explorer or similar youth program, here's what to do:Believe them. If a child or teen discloses abuse, believe what they say. Stay calm, listen, and affirm that it's not their fault. Praise them for coming forward.Report it. If the child is in danger, call 911. Otherwise, contact your local police, sheriff's department, or state child protection agency. If you're concerned local police might have a conflict of interest, contact your state police, state attorney general, or the FBI.Document/preserve everything. Save messages, screenshots, call logs — anything that could help support the report.Seek emotional support: Abuse by a trusted adult is incredibly disorienting. You and/or your child deserve compassionate care from someone trained in trauma -- like a therapist, school counselor, or crisis line advocate.Connect with survivor resources. Many organizations offer specialized support for young people.Consult legal counsel: Some survivors explore civil legal action against individuals or institutions. An attorney familiar with institutional abuse cases can help assess your options.Red Flags: Signs of Grooming or Abuse in Explorer Programs:Abuse by authority figures often begins with grooming -- a gradual, often-subtle process that builds trust before violating it. Here are common warning signs in youth law enforcement programs:“Special” treatment. One teen is singled out for attention, gifts, mentorship, or exclusive opportunities not given to others.Excessive one-on-one contact. Repeated private ride-alongs, late-night messages, or invitations to hang out off-duty.Private communication. The adult uses personal texting apps, Snapchat, Instagram DMs, or other unmonitored channels to talk to a minor.Overstepping/blurring boundaries. Inappropriate compliments, jokes about relationships, or sharing personal details not appropriate for a mentor-mentee dynamic.Isolation. The adult discourages the teen from talking to others about their relationship or makes the teen feel responsible for their secrecy.Gaslighting or guilt. The adult blames the teen for misunderstandings, manipulates their emotions, or makes them feel they'll “ruin someone's life” if they speak out.Physical contact. Touch that's unnecessary, prolonged, or makes the teen uncomfortable -- even if it's framed as casual or accidental. You can learn more about The Good segment and even submit a story of your own by visiting The Good page on our website! Source materials for this episode cannot be listed here due to character limitations.
