Podcasts about grooming

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

Well, it's time. Let's talk about President Dallin Harris Oaks, the Hoaks man, the Mormon Gollum. First, we cover the biography In the Hands of the Lord: The Life of Dallin H. Oaks by Richard Turley. Then we take a look at Hoaks' book The Carthage Conspiracy, as well as a presentation from 2021 where he actually uttered a prophecy! And after all that, we share some amazing science news.

In this episode of the cityCURRENT Show, Andrew Bartolotta sits down with Denise McElhaney, owner of Denise's Happy Hounds and founder of the Happy Hounds Pet Pantry. Denise shares how her love for dogs and her faith led her to create a grooming experience centered on comfort, trust, and care—and how that mission expanded into a community resource helping keep pets out of shelters. We explore the inspiration behind the Pet Pantry, how it operates as a 24/7 blessing box, and the role fundraisers, sponsors, and volunteers play in sustaining the mission. This conversation is a powerful reminder of how small businesses can become lifelines for their communities—and how compassion can create lasting impact for pets and the people who love them. Learn more: https://www.deniseshappyhounds.com/

Ask Rachel anythingWhile counseling sex offenders, Anna Sonoda, LCSW learned firsthand that grooming, the prelude to child sexual abuse, is intentional, gradual, and observable. Her message to us is, we're not bad parents, we just have a skills gap and she wants to fill it. I grew up in an era of stranger danger, but the truth is the vast majority of abuse happens inside our homes, online and offline, with people our kids know. So how can we spot the signs that a predator is moving in on us and our kids? Anna says there are clear stages of grooming that, once we know about them, we can intercept. She introduces the "4F formula" for grooming: flattery, favoritism, forbidden fruits, and fear, and stresses the importance of recognizing grooming's subtle signs. Anna advises parents to set clear device usage rules, use parental controls, and maintain open communication with their children. She also advocates for delaying social media access until age 16 and emphasizes the role of parents in curating their children's online and offline environments.In this episode we cover:What Is Grooming?

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! -

STARMER VS MUSK – TODAY IT'S X, TOMORROW IT'S YOUR FREE SPEECH #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #FreeSpeech #Starmer #StarmerVsMusk #ElonMusk #Censorship #DonaldTrump #Trump #Iran #IranProtests #UKPolitics #IndependentMedia #CultureWar #YouTubeLive Keir Starmer wants to ban X — today it's social media, tomorrow it's your free speech. This is not about safety. It's about power, censorship, and silencing criticism. Not satisfied with cancelling elections, locking people up for "hurty words" and enforcing two-tier policing of political protest, Keir Starmer now wants to silence the internet itself by banning X. The excuse? Deep-fake nude images — which I utterly condemn. But let's stop pretending. This has nothing to do with protecting women and everything to do with protecting Starmer. This is about power. This is about control. This is about shutting you up. The idea that a government-appointed censor like OFCOM should police what adults say, think, read and watch online must be resisted. We don't even need OFCOM for broadcasting — we all have an off button. Don't like it? Don't watch it. What's next — banning football? Because every ground in the country now rings out with "Starmer is a wanker", doesn't it? Instead of censoring criticism, how about dealing with the real threats: Grooming gangs still waiting for a full public inquiry Rapists being allowed into the Met Police Birmingham officers falsifying evidence to blame Jews instead of Muslims BBC bias — including falsified edits of Trump speeches Without social media: The Iran protests would be invisible The grooming gang scandal would have died quietly Police corruption would never see daylight The truth? Starmer and the mainstream media hate Musk because their grip is slipping. This is a revolution — and they can't control it.  #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live #FreeSpeech #Starmer #StarmerVsMusk #ElonMusk #X #Censorship #UKPolitics #OFCOM #CancelCulture #TwoTierPolicing #BBCBias #GroomingGangs #PoliceCorruption #DonaldTrump #Trump #Iran #IranProtests #CultureWar #MediaLies #IndependentMedia #YouTubeLive Jon Gaunt, Jon Gaunt TV, live, free speech, Keir Starmer, Starmer vs Musk, Elon Musk, X, censorship, UK politics, OFCOM, cancel culture, two tier policing, BBC bias, grooming gangs, police corruption, Donald Trump, Trump, Iran, Iran protests, culture war, media lies, independent media, YouTube live This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.

It's a diabolical and sickening case of a Chicago Public Schools dean who preyed upon an underaged student from 2013-2016 with constant grooming tactics, sexual assaults, and even impregnating her twice and forcing her to have abortions.  But after living in fear for years, the victim recently came forward and a Cook County jury found Brian Crowder guilty of multiple counts of sexual assaults and sentenced him to 22 years behind bars.  The victim, Jane Doe, was also awarded a $17.5 million dollar settlement thanks to her attorneys, Martin Gould and Bryce Hensley, who join Chris on this disturbing and frightening episode of Have a Seat with Chris Hansen. They dive into the details of the case and what impact it has on victims rights and school systems around the country.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome aboard to another episode of the Traveling Groomers Podcast, where the world of mobile and house call grooming comes alive! In this episode, hosts Chris Anthony and Mary Oquendo dive deep into what it means to truly invest in your grooming business—especially during the holiday season and as we roll into the New Year. Forget standard New Year's resolutions! Instead, our hosts challenge groomers to think about "gifting" their business—whether it's upgrading equipment, streamlining operations by cutting unnecessary subscriptions, or even adding valuable enrichment tools and treats to make life easier for both pets and groomers. The conversation covers everything from the practical (like the importance of a trash can with a lid) to self-care for your business, such as revamping policies, updating first aid kits, and being honest with yourself and your clients. You'll also hear real-world stories about upholding policies, handling those tricky cancellation fees, and advocating for yourself and your furry clients both in the grooming salon and at the vet's office. Chris Anthony and Mary Oquendo blend wisdom, humor, and a healthy dose of real talk, sharing both lessons learned the hard way and tips to start your new year with clarity and confidence. So grab your travel mug, hop aboard, and let's explore how you can set your business up for another successful, fulfilling year. Happy New Year, and happy grooming!

Last year, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children logged more than a half million reports of online enticement, manipulation and sextortion of children. This school year, districts are helping students spot this dangerous trend. We hear from a survivor of online grooming and those working to prevent it.

Grooming isn't always a simple spa day—especially for pets who are fearful, painful, aging, or medically complex. In this episode of PetAbility Podcast, Chris and Cathy sit down with experienced groomer and veterinary assistant, Sophie Wasniewski, to explore sedated grooming: what it is, why it's sometimes necessary, and how it can dramatically improve safety, comfort, and quality of life for both pets and their people.Sophie explains how sedated grooming differs from traditional grooming, which pets benefit most, and what indicators (chronic pain, mobility challenges, anxiety, or past trauma) might suggest that sedated grooming is the often the kindest option rather than a last resort. The conversation walks listeners through what a sedated grooming appointment looks like, who's involved on the veterinary team, and how sedation protocols are carefully chosen and monitored for safety.Key Takeaways:When and why sedated grooming is recommendedWhich pets benefit mostWhat happens during a sedated grooming appointmentSafety considerations and preparationHow sedated grooming can reduce fear, pain, and injuryWhether you're a pet parent struggling with stressful grooming appointments or a veterinary professional supporting complex patients, this episode offers clarity, reassurance, and expert insight.You can find Sophie at Sleepy Dog Veterinary in Arlington, MA. DisclaimerVitalVet.org, a platform for all things related to pet rehab - product information, education, and resources abound!

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.

In this deeply emotional solo episode, I continue our December series focused on protecting kids from online predators. I walk you through two real and devastating cases that show exactly how grooming, sextortion, and long-term digital harassment happen—often without parents having any idea it's occurring. These aren't edge cases. This is the reality of the digital world our kids are growing up in.   We break down a Roblox grooming case involving an eight-year-old girl, how predators slowly build trust and move conversations to private apps, and why platform bans don't actually stop them. I also share the heartbreaking story of Amanda Todd, a seventh grader who was hunted online for years by a predator who weaponized images, social media, and bullying across schools and borders. This episode is hard to listen to—but necessary—because awareness is the first step in protecting our kids.     Timeline Summary: [0:00] Why online grooming often goes unnoticed until it's too late. [1:48] How predators now access kids directly in their bedrooms through devices. [2:46] Why this generation of parents is navigating entirely new digital dangers. [3:52] Parenting the first generation of kids growing up fully online. [4:20] Introducing a real Roblox grooming case involving an eight-year-old girl. [5:24] How predators use in-game chat and "helping" to gain trust. [6:18] The move from public game chat to private apps like WhatsApp. [6:44] Grooming tactics that feel like friendship to kids. [7:09] How exploitation and sextortion begin once trust is built. [8:07] Why platform bans don't stop predators from returning. [9:06] Key lessons parents must understand about Roblox and open chat systems. [10:06] Larry shares a personal experience with a suspicious "wrong number" text. [11:54] Why text messages and private apps are also major risk areas. [12:25] Introducing the Amanda Todd case from British Columbia. [12:52] How sextortion followed Amanda across schools and years. [13:58] Why Amanda wasn't bullied—she was hunted. [14:27] The mental health toll of long-term digital harassment. [15:18] Amanda's nine-minute YouTube video explaining her story. [15:49] Arrest, conviction, and sentencing of her predator years later. [16:41] Why one image can give predators long-term control. [17:39] How predators weaponize anonymity, time, and technology. [18:38] Why Bark has helped Larry catch issues proactively for seven years. [19:26] How parents can honor victims by protecting their own kids. [20:11] Final call to action to monitor devices and stay engaged.     Five Key Takeaways Online grooming happens slowly and quietly, often disguised as friendship and "help" inside games like Roblox.  Predators almost always move kids from public chats to private apps, where there is no moderation or logging.  One image is all a predator needs to control, extort, and emotionally destroy a child over time.  Platform bans do not protect kids, because predators can create new accounts in minutes.  Parental awareness and monitoring can change outcomes, and proactive conversations can prevent lifelong trauma.      Links & Resources Bark Monitoring for Families: https://thedadedge.com/bark Episode Show Notes & Resources: https://thedadedge.com/1415 Mentioned Link: https://www.amandatoddlegacy.org/aydin-coban.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com   Closing Remark These stories are hard—but they matter. The best way we can honor kids who've been hurt or lost is by protecting our own. Please rate, review, follow, and share this episode, and most importantly, stay involved in your kids' digital lives. From my heart to yours—let's do better.

In the second part of Ryan Cartlidge's conversation with Sara Brueske, the focus shifts toward real-world application as Sara shares practical insights into training foundations, teamwork, and navigating the everyday challenges that handlers and dogs face together. With her characteristic warmth and clarity, Sara reflects on what truly matters when building reliable behaviors and joyful partnerships in both sport and family-dog contexts. Sara and Ryan explore the importance of criteria that dogs can understand, why emotional stability is just as critical as technical skill, and how trainers can avoid unintentionally pushing dogs past their limits. Sara speaks candidly about what she wishes more handlers knew, how to recognise when a dog needs support, and why her approach to sport training always begins with confidence and relationship before complexity. Drawing from years of professional experience, Sara offers guidance on troubleshooting problems, adjusting expectations, and finding progress even when sessions do not go to plan. Throughout the conversation she highlights the value of transparency, communication, and steady, incremental learning for both dogs and humans. Throughout this episode, we discuss: ✅ How clear criteria help dogs stay confident and successful in training ✅ Why emotional readiness and engagement form the foundation for advanced skills ✅ Practical strategies for adjusting plans when dogs show signs of stress or confusion ✅ The importance of letting dogs set the pace and listening to what they communicate ✅ How sport handlers can balance ambition with wellbeing for sustainable progress ✅ Sara's reflections on supporting guardians with compassion and realistic goals Part two is filled with practical wisdom and thoughtful reminders that training success is not defined by perfection, but by connection, communication, and an ongoing commitment to meeting dogs where they are.

After months of delays it's been announced that the former children's commissioner and Labour peer, Baroness Longfield, will chair the national inquiry into grooming gangs in England and Wales.

Judges go soft on UK grooming gang rapists, citing "community standing." The panel slams the media's silence, Piers Morgan's evasions, and the brutal reality victims face. Is this justice or cowardice disguised as tolerance?

***WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CONTENT CONTAINS ELEMENTS THAT ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR SOME AUDIENCES. References to sexual assault, abuse, and potential trauma INCLUDING DISCUSSION OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE.VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.The story starts with chaos—kids in the doorway, a violent assault, sirens in the street—and becomes a masterclass in survival, strategy, and justice. We sit with Lindsay Hendricks as she walks us through the realities most people never see: the cycle of abuse, the excuses that keep you trapped, the way gaslighting isolates you from family, and the hard choices you make when children are watching everything.We get candid about the legal fork in the road: take it to trial and risk retraumatizing testimony, or accept a plea that guarantees decades behind bars. The team chooses to protect the children—and two judges go further. Ada County hands down 65 years fixed. Canyon County follows with life without parole, after playing a recorded jail call where the abuser and his mother mock the victims' pain. It's the rare moment when the system does what it should.This conversation is raw and emotional. We outline red flags worth memorizing, how to build a quiet exit plan, why hidden savings matter, and how to document everything without jeopardizing an investigation. We talk therapy, survivor mindset, and the guilt that can swallow a parent whole—and how to keep it from consuming your life. We also push for change: clearer minimums for child sexual abuse, tech-savvy investigations, and judges who match sentences to the harm done.If you've ever wondered what it takes to get from sirens to sentencing—and how to support someone living in fear—this is your blueprint. Listen, share it with someone who might need it, and if this resonates, subscribe, leave a review, and tell us what chaos you want to hear next. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse, it's important to know you're not alone.
