Podcasts about grooming

How does someone defend their alleged abuser for twenty-five years—then suddenly file a two hundred million dollar lawsuit?The Cascio family just accused Michael Jackson's estate of child trafficking. But these siblings spent decades swearing Jackson was innocent. Frank Cascio wrote a book. They went on Oprah. They attacked Wade Robson on social media before "Leaving Neverland" aired.Now they claim Jackson abused all five of them beginning when some were as young as seven years old.The Jackson estate calls it a shakedown. But trauma experts say this pattern is textbook grooming psychology. Victims become so enmeshed with their abusers that they genuinely don't recognize abuse as abuse. They internalize their abuser's worldview. They protect them. They attack anyone who threatens the relationship.Wade Robson testified under oath that Jackson never touched him—then filed an abuse lawsuit in 2013. James Safechuck defended Jackson in 1993—then alleged hundreds of abuse instances in 2014. Both say they didn't recognize what happened until therapy years later.The Cascios claim watching "Leaving Neverland" in 2019 finally broke the spell—and they discovered all five siblings had allegedly been abused.Is that plausible? It's exactly what experts describe. Is the timing also convenient for a massive payout? Absolutely.Michael Jackson was acquitted in 2005 and denied all allegations. His estate continues to deny them. The courts will decide whether this is justice or opportunism.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

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.

Det sker efter, at der på internettet har floreret anonyme beskyldninger om grooming og seksuelle handlinger uden samtykke mod artisten. Det drejer sig om en fransk producer og pladeselskabschef ved navn Schlømo. Vi spørger en festivalbooker hos Distortion om, hvad de bygger aflysningen på. Vært: Casper Dyrholm Medvirkende: Ask Hesby Holm direktør for organisationen Digitalt Ansvar, Nis Sigurdsson, festivalbooker hos Distortion, Mette Sandbye, professor på Institut for Kunst- og Kulturvidenskab, Ernst Mikael Jørgensen, ekspert i Elvis Presleys katalog og pladeproducer, Ole Winther, Public Affairs-direktør hos Have Kommunikation, Milou Johansson, hjemløs, Sofie Bay-Petersen, pressemedarbejder i de hjemløses landsorganisation SAND.

¿Alguna vez te has preguntado por qué, si algo se sintió mal, terminaste sintiéndote culpable? ¿Por qué "accediste" pero hoy te duele como una traición? En este episodio especial de Abramos la Mente conmemorando el 8M, ponemos nombre a lo invisible: el Grooming.Hablamos sin filtros sobre cómo los agresores no eligen a sus víctimas al azar, sino que las "preparan" a través de un proceso de manipulación emocional que nubla el consentimiento.En este episodio aprenderás:Los pasos sistemáticos del grooming (el guion del agresor).Cómo se fabrica la falsa sensación de consentimiento.Por qué la vergüenza y la culpa son las herramientas favoritas del perpetrador para asegurar tu silencio.El camino para empezar a devolver la responsabilidad a quien realmente le pertenece.Si alguna vez te sentiste confundida, manipulada o "tonta" por no haberlo visto antes, este episodio es para ti. No fue tu culpa, fue un plan.Compártelo con esa amiga que necesita escuchar que su historia tiene nombre y que su dolor es válido.

In this explosive new episode, Cool Water dives headfirst into one of the most controversial chapters of the ongoing R Kelly scandal — this time focusing on accuser Reshona Landfair and the timing of her new memoir. With renewed public interest in R. Kelly, questions are surfacing across social media, hip-hop blogs, and true crime circles: Why is she telling her story now? And is this about healing — or headlines?*Landfair's new book revisits her troubled past, detailing her early connection to the convicted R&B superstar, the fallout from the infamous sex tape trial, and the trauma that followed her into adulthood. The memoir also makes shocking claims involving her cousin, Sparkle, suggesting family betrayal may have played a role in how she was exposed to R. Kelly at such a young age. These allegations reignite debates about accountability, manipulation, and the complicated dynamics behind one of the most talked-about celebrity scandals of the 2000s.In this episode, Cool Water analyzes the cultural climate surrounding survivor narratives, the power of the #MeToo movement, and the financial realities of publishing in today's media landscape. Is this a story of reclaiming identity after years of public scrutiny? Or are critics right in questioning whether the book is a strategic move amid continued fascination with the R Kelly case?From courtroom drama to hip-hop history, this episode breaks down the facts, the controversy, and the conversations dominating trending news feeds. If you follow celebrity trials, true crime podcasts, or the long-running saga of R. Kelly, this is one discussion you don't want to miss.

Okay shut up shut up we have to focus!!!We have the INCREDIBLE Franchesca Ramsey in the house, so we can't be distracted by things like 1) what Text Me Back even is? 2) if it is good or bad. Franchesca's presence punctures one of the central tenets of Text Me Back - for SHE has a podcast (Lemme Fix it!) AND she is also the iconic host of Webby nominated series We Were All Rooting for You. We have people looking into this, but initial reporting suggests that there may be other podcasts apart from Text Me Back. Seems suspicious, but we will circle back when we know more.And since Franchesca is the big brain behind Lindy's renewed internet fame, we're talking about our TOP CELEBRITY BEEFS. You'll never guess who we have called out, betrayed, and been blocked by. Thomas Lennon, follow Lindy again if you forgive us!! Sorry we didn't like that one movie you were in, buddy!!!

“What's Buggin' You” segment for Thursday 2-26-26

The rise of the grooming gangs in Great Britain and the refusal of Britain's Labor government to intervene speaks volumes about the contempt that British political elites have for their laws and the people who must live under a regime of anarcho-tyranny.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/anarcho-tyranny-and-uk-grooming-gangs-scandal

Minneapolis police think a man who fatally shot two of his cousins Monday afternoon on the city's northside was later killed in a confrontation with police in Brooklyn Center.Researchers at the University of Minnesota estimate that rent debt across the state has surged by an additional 30 to 50 million dollars since December.

La hiperconectividad del internet a pesar de tener muchos aspectos positivos nos ha llevado a un lugar muy oscuro donde la peor gente puede entrar en contacto con menores de edad con los fines más nefastos en mente. Las acciones de las autoridades y las empresas se han quedado cortísimas pero afortunadamente que como ciudadanos privados hacen un montón para combatir y prevenir estas situaciones.

TRIGGER WARNING: Detailed allegations of sexual abuse and crimes against women, girls, and children. While Americans watch other countries begin to take action against predators named in the Epstein files, many are beginning to realize just how long we've been groomed by abusers with substantial influence over our formative years. As our mainstream news channels amplify victim blaming and shaming, even in the face of blatant pedophilia, they make clear the dedication of the 1% to keep their greedy grasp on the status quo. To that end, this pod covers several victim statements, legal filings, and FBI Tip Line submissions that confirm sadistic crimes against children and once again notes the same famous names as primary co-conspirators. Additionally, it covers emails from Epstein's inbox that describe steps he took, and familiar names he worked with, in reaction to victims speaking out. Then, an email not really about shrimp ties several different threads together and makes sense of previous topics. People around the world continue to act accordingly based on what the files reveal, all as America comes to terms with the tribal vitriol of our two party system that seems to have been designed to thwart any meaningful resistance.Check your voter registration, find your polling location, or contact your representatives via USA.GOV, VOTE.GOV, and/or the "5 Calls" app. All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

The UK's Online Safety Bill has been in the pipeline for a number of years now, and is currently being considered by the House of Lords. The proposed bill has caused a lot of controversy due to its broad ambitions and a perceived threat to people's privacy. But it's been welcomed in some quarters, and in particular by children's charities like the NSPCC, who say that it's needed to tackle grooming and child sexual abuse online. Indeed, the NSPCC says such measures are long overdue and that over 3,500 online sex crimes are likely happening each month that the bill is delayed. How does online grooming happen, and who are the typical targets ? Does this only happen online? How can you identify a child victim ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

Gardaí are investigating a Limerick sting by “Justice Reborn” – a paedophile hunter group that confronted a man they claim was sexually messaging who he thought was a 13-year-old… and streamed the whole thing live on Facebook.So do you support these groups taking the law into their own hands… or are they risking violence, getting the wrong person, and wrecking any future court case? Adrian's main issue: why broadcast it live and potentially prejudice a trial.Callers are split down the middle. Some say the guards don't have the resources and the public needs to know who these creeps are. Others warn about entrapment, fair trial rights, and innocent people being destroyed online.

Nick Buckley, a candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, discusses his motivations for running, including his deep ties to the community and a desire for meaningful change. He addresses the unique nature of by-elections and the challenges he has faced, including online abuse and threats. Buckley critiques the current political landscape, noting Labour's struggle to connect with traditional voters and emphasizing his commitment to local issues like crime and grooming gangs. He announces plans for a local inquiry into grooming gangs and advocates for community safety through engagement with law enforcement.  Connect with Nick...

RO KHANNA'S EPSTEIN FACE-PLANT: Innocent Men Smeared to Protect the Real Predators? The Epstein saga just took its most bizarre and dangerous turn yet. This week, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) marched onto the House floor claiming to "unmask" the wealthy elites being shielded by the DOJ. There's just one problem: it appears they accidentally nuked the reputations of random private citizens who were just part of a photo lineup. Austin Petersen breaks down the spectacular legal malpractice in D.C., the redefinition of "adulthood" by professional survivors, and why the "Epstein Files" are being used as a political prop while the real co-conspirators remain in the shadows.

It has been a dizzying week in UK politics since the publication of the latest of the Epstein files, and the revelations of his links to Westminster. But as the politics took over, it is the voice of survivors that is the centre of this story.This Friday Lewis is joined by Natalie Fleet, Labour MP for Bolsover, to discuss the politics of the last week, finding a voice for the women and victims of grooming, and whether she trusts the Prime Minister to deliver.The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

We cover growing up in Bradford, how she met the men that would come to abuse her, and some of her early experiences.As Fiona says: The inquiry into grooming gangs should not be centred on race. It should be centred on how the abuse operated.Grooming gangs follow specific patterns. The way they target, manipulate, control, and exploit children has distinct characteristics. That is what makes this form of abuse unique — not the race of the perpetrators, but the methods, structures, and systemic failures that allowed it to continue.Any gang-based exploitation of children should be examined thoroughly, regardless of race — especially where it was ignored, dismissed, or facilitated by agencies such as the police, social services, and other safeguarding bodies. BUT if race or religion is relivent to that victims abuse the victims should be able to voice it and discuss it without facing further abuse. We must learn to talk about experiances openly to understand the full picture.My focus is not race. My focus is the abuse: how it worked, why it was allowed to continue, and why the rape and exploitation of children was not properly acknowledged or prevented.That said, all relevant data should be gathered. Race, religion, sexuality, gender, class, and criminal background should be recorded and analysed — not to fuel division, but to identify patterns, disproportionalities, and systemic blind spots. We cannot design effective prevention frameworks without understanding the full picture. Fear of racism played a huge part in the enabling of many victims abuse and that must be acknowledged.This must be about protecting children.All relevant information — no matter how uncomfortable — should be examined honestly. And then we need open, evidence-based conversations about why these failures happened and how to prevent them from ever happening again.Because safeguarding children should always come before politics, fear, or stigma.Watch episode 1 here, or listen wherever you get your podcastshttps://www.openjusticeuk.org/ This is a public episode.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Natalie Henley, CEO of Volume Nine, is here to unpack how she bought out her agency's founder. Not through PE, not through M&A, but as a trusted insider who built her path from employee to owner. Natalie shares the behind-the-scenes story of how she structured the deal without needing an SBA loan, the mindset shifts she had to make, and how the agency survived both Google's algorithm changes and COVID-19 cratering their top clients. In this episode, we'll discuss: Grooming your #2 to become your successor, or become the one buying. Avoiding mistakes that slow down or kill an internal exit. Using creative financing (HELOCs, owner carry notes, balloon payments) to structure the deal. Knowing when an employee has what it takes to run the agency. Preserving trust and team stability during a leadership transition.

Check out the Agency Valuation Calculator   The overlooked exit strategy: selling your agency to a team member… Natalie started as an employee in a boutique digital firm. When it got acquired by Volume Nine, she climbed the ranks the old-school way: by taking on every problem no one else would. Over time, she ran the company. Then COVID hit. The agency's revenue cratered. Clients disappeared. The founder wanted out. But instead of flipping to a stranger, he turned to Natalie. The "Oh Shit" Moment and the Deal That Followed When the founder came to Natalie with the offer to buy, he already had the groundwork laid. He'd called the bank, scoped out an SBA loan, and gave her a number. Natalie didn't have a pile of cash sitting around, but she did have grit, resourcefulness, and inside knowledge of the business. She didn't take the SBA route. Instead, she pieced together a creative financing stack: A HELOC for the down payment An owner-carry note A balloon payment at the end The company is paying for itself over time. No brokers. No middlemen. Just a fair, fast, founder-to-founder deal. Why This Worked (And Why Most Don't) Natalie had already been: Running the company Exposed to the numbers Made a co-owner years earlier This wasn't a random promotion. It was a trust-built, stress-tested evolution. And it mattered. Because when the deal closed, the culture didn't collapse. The clients stayed. The team believed. What if the best buyer for your agency is already on your team? If you're feeling done, but still care about your agency, selling to a team member might be the cleanest win. Here's how to set it up: Start grooming your #2 now. VP → President → Co-owner → Buyer. Expose them to EBITDA, profitability, client churn…. everything. Stress-test them: give scary responsibilities and see how they show up. Be fair. Don't squeeze every dime. The goal is continuity and peace of mind. Don't wait until you're burned out. Move before it's a fire drill. Agency ownership is a wild ride. If you're looking for a graceful exit that doesn't torch your legacy, this might be it. And if you're the #2? Start acting like the owner today. You never know when the keys will be offered. As Natalie said, "If you care about your team and the agency's legacy, you owe it to yourself to consider your employees as potential buyers. Even if they say no, at least you gave them a shot."

Jenn talks about using a grooming kit on Oscar... and making a bit of a mistake...

Forget what you think you know about this case. This is the deep dive that puts it all together — and what it reveals is a pattern of alleged predatory behavior that spans thirty years, two generations, and at least two suspicious deaths.John-Paul Miller built his reputation as a man of God. He stood at the pulpit every Sunday preaching salvation. But according to court documents, sworn affidavits, police reports, and a federal indictment, the man behind the cross was allegedly running a different kind of operation entirely.His first wife alleges he confessed to sexual misconduct with underage girls in his church. His second wife — Mica Miller — told police he groomed her from the time she was a child. She called for help fourteen times in her final months. She reported tracking devices. Slashed tires. Being afraid for her life. The system told her to wait. Two days after serving him divorce papers, she was dead.Now JP Miller has been federally indicted for cyberstalking and lying to investigators. Prosecutors allege he tracked Mica's every move, posted nude photos of her online, contacted her over fifty times in a single day, and then lied about all of it when the FBI came asking questions. He has pleaded not guilty.But there's more. Two civil lawsuits allege JP and his father sexually abused minors at their churches for decades. And then there's Chris Skinner — the quadriplegic who drowned two weeks after allegedly confronting JP about an affair with his wife. JP married that widow last year. Neither death has resulted in charges against him.This episode connects every thread. The allegations. The documents. The deaths. The man at the center of it all.You're about to understand exactly who John-Paul Miller allegedly is.#MicaMiller #JPMiller #TrueCrimeToday #BreakingNews #PastorExposed #FederalIndictment #JusticeForMica #CoerciveControl #ChrisSkinner #SolidRockChurchJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

You've seen the clips. The bizarre pulpit announcement. The eulogy where he said he tried to raise her from the dead. The protests outside his church. But you haven't heard the full story — until now.This episode goes back to the beginning. To a ten-year-old girl walking into Solid Rock Church and meeting a twenty-five-year-old married pastor who, according to her own police report, would spend years grooming her before making her his second wife. To a first wife who alleges JP confessed to hiring prostitutes and being sexually inappropriate with underage girls in his congregation. To a church that allegedly knew and did nothing. To a system that told Mica Miller — fourteen times — that there wasn't enough to help her.Two days after she served him divorce papers, Mica was dead. Her death was ruled a suicide. JP Miller has not been charged in connection with her death. But the federal government has now indicted him for allegedly cyberstalking her for eighteen months — tracking her every move, posting intimate photos without consent, and harassing her relentlessly until the day she died.And Mica isn't the only death connected to this man. Chris Skinner — a quadriplegic motivational speaker — drowned in a pool two weeks after allegedly confronting JP about an affair with his wife. JP married that woman thirteen months after Mica died. Armed guards protected the ceremony.Two civil lawsuits now allege JP and his father are serial predators who targeted minors for decades. They deny everything.This is the definitive breakdown. Every document. Every allegation. Every failure. The monster hiding behind the pulpit — fully exposed.#MicaMiller #JPMiller #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #SolidRockChurch #JusticeForMica #PastorExposed #CoerciveControl #ChrisSkinner #FederalIndictmentJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic…today's episode is pure chaos.  If you've listened to any of our Hiking Viking episodes, you already know what I'm talking about. After four "Girl Stuff" episodes, Chaunce figured it was only fair to balance the scales with what we're officially calling the Guy Stuff episode, a panel-style conversation that goes off the rails almost immediately, featuring Jabba and Lt Cookoo Bird. We cover everything from trail grooming strategy (aka pube management), to whether you'd rather have boobs or a vagina for 24 hours, to making Backpacker Radio condoms as trail swag, Chaunce has a beard, and Jabba bites Chaunce's toes.

In this educational reflection episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon revisits Wednesday's survivor story and breaks down the patterns of grooming, manipulation, and coercive control that shaped her experience with an abusive college professor.What began as attention and support slowly evolved into gaslighting, rage, sexual coercion, isolation, and the erosion of self-trust. This follow-up explores how early family boundary violations and people-pleasing conditioned Wednesday to take on responsibility for others' emotions — making fear, obligation, guilt, and shame powerful tools of control.Brandon highlights the key themes from Wednesday's story, including grooming by authority figures, emotional manipulation, self-blame, and the long process of reclaiming boundaries and autonomy.The episode closes with insights focused on healing — learning to trust your instincts, releasing false responsibility, seeking safe support, and breaking cycles of trauma.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.Sign up to our Domestic Violence Newsletter  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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. His work focuses on accountability, deterrence, and systemic change to better protect children.Connect with Andrew CarpenterFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/andrewcarpentersolicitorWebsters Lawyers:https://websterslawyers.com.au/lawyers/andrew-carpenterInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/andrewcarpentersolicitor?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-carpenter-041456123/Connect with Dr. ChristineProtective Parenting Program:https://www.coercivecontrolconsulting.com/services/for-parents/Official site:https://www.coercivecontrolconsulting.com/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@DrCocchiola-coercivecontrol/videosTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.c_coercivecontrolIf this episode landed for you, please share it with someone who needs to hear it, subscribe for more trauma-informed conversations, and consider leaving a review- it helps other survivors and protective parents find validation and safety.-Dr. Christine Cocchiola & guest Andrew Carpenter

Grooming in the Lifestyle | Episode 91In this episode of The Swing Nation Podcast, the top-rated podcast about non-monogamy and swinging, Dan and Lacy are back with another Tuesday Talks listener question—this time tackling a topic a lot of people wonder about but don't always ask out loud: body hair in the lifestyle.This week's text comes from The Sexy Scientists, who are gearing up for their first lifestyle takeover and feeling curious (and maybe a little anxious) after hearing other podcasts talk about men getting Brazilian waxes. While he's already well-trimmed, he wants to know what's actually “normal” when it comes to male body hair in the lifestyle. Dan shares how he keeps things manscaped, and Lacy weighs in on her personal preferences.Dan and Lacy dive into how grooming trends have evolved, why there's been a noticeable resurgence of hair lately, and how preferences vary wildly from person to person. The one thing that never goes out of style? Good hygiene. Whether you're smooth, trimmed, or natural, this episode breaks down how confidence, cleanliness, and communication matter far more than following any one trend.Get Tickets to Electric Pleasures- The Swing Nation - Main Website Quick Navigation Website: -- (Find all our social media links & more!)- Swinger Society - Our Website to meet, connect & events Swinger Society Discord Our Facebook Group- Swinger Websites -Kasadie 90 day free trialUsername: TheSwingNation SDC 14 day free trial Username: TheSwingNation** Use code 36313 for 14 days free! ** SLSUsername: NorthernGuynSouthernGirl- Merch & More -Order Your Merch Here!- Lacy's Fun Links -VIP OnlyFansPREMIUM OnlyFans-- THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS --Wisp : Making sexual healthcare inclusive, cost-effective, and accessible—for everyoneUse Code SWING at checkout for 15% off your oder!Shameless Care: ED Medication and at home STD testingUse Code TSN at checkout for $30 off your order!Promescent® Make Love Longer, It's Time for Great SexUse Code SwingNation for 5% off!Sling it Bikinis:  adjustable one-size styles, thoughtfully crafted to flatter every body type.Support the show- Thank you for the support! -

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.
