Sheri was groomed at the age of fifteen by her high school boyfriend's father, trafficked for seven years, and rescued by a woman named Pearl at an apartment mailbox. She is the founder of the nonprofit – ‘Pearl at the Mailbox' and is on a mission to educate about child grooming, how it happens, and how to spot and stop it before trafficking happens.

Can you feel it?!? The energy, the excitement, the smell of fresh-cut grass—football season is back! From Friday night lights to Sunday tailgates, there's nothing quite like it. The thrill of the game, the hard hits, the big plays, the rivalries—we wait all year for this. It's the heartbeat of fall.  But behind the touchdowns and tackles, there's a conversation we can't afford to ignore. As much as we love this sport, we can't turn a blind eye to the growing concerns around traumatic brain injuries—injuries that have changed the lives of countless players, from the pros to the youth leagues. In the first week of the new season, two young people, Caden Tellier, 16, of Selma, Alabama and Cohen Craddock, 13, of West Virginia, died of traumatic brain injuries. While we don't have all the details of their tragic injuries, it is a stark reminder of the risks players take when they step onto the field. In this episode, Your Doctor Friends dive into the other side of the excitement—the risks that come with those bone-crushing hits. We tackle topics such as whether the type of helmet matters, what those weird sponge-like helmet covers actually do and how tackle football compares to flag football (spoiler alert, this 2021 study by the CDC and published in Sports Health, found that youth tackle football players experienced FIFTEEN TIMES more head impacts than their youth flag football players).  We also give you tips on how to be mindful of signs of concussion or more serious brain injuries. The CDC's "Heads Up" program has great information on their website! Football is fun. Football can be dangerous. Informed consent matters!

When it comes to child sexual abuse and exploitation, a new look at the U.S. shows we're not doing very well. The Economist Index Out of the Shadows Index report sets key indicators for performance on child sexual abuse and exploitation prevention and intervention. And it benchmarks against those indicators in 28 different states—and counting; there will eventually be another report.Sadly, but perhaps unsurprisingly, all states measured so far have struggled. And if this were a report card, the best performing state would only have a D. What this means for kids is that, as a nation, our safeguarding is wholly inadequate and our response system woefully underfunded.But it's not all doom and gloom. We invited Laura Avery and Katherine Stewart, the authors of the report, to talk to us about the report and how by being able to pinpoint weaknesses and challenges, we can develop state-specific roadmaps for improvement in child protection. If you haven't already read the report, please make sure you do. You can find a link to it in our show notes.

Episode 30: Body Safety and Abuse Prevention: Keeping Kids Safe with Feather Berkower @parentingsafechildren This week Rachael has a very important conversation with Feather Berkower, a leader and well known author in child sexual abuse prevention. Feather educates us on ways we can protect our children when we are not with them both by having tough conversations with adults and teaching them "body safety" and consent from the start. Feather emphasizes the importance of pushing through our own discomfort to have these tough conversations for the sake of our kids. The uncomfortable truth is that most of us either are survivors or know a survivor of abuse. In this necessary episode, Rachael and Feather discuss the current stats for sexual abuse (which are shocking) and how to teach children protection skills without scaring them. Feather shares what makes a child most vulnerable to abuse, and the signs to look out for that abuse may have occurred. Feather also offers tips on ways we can speak to friends and family about the values we are teaching our children in relation to body safety and how to begin having conversations around this topic at a very young age.  Feather is a licensed clinical social worker who holds a Master's of Social Welfare from the University of California, Berkeley. She has been a leader in child sexual abuse prevention since 1985 and has educated nearly one-hundred fifty thousand schoolchildren, parents and youth professionals. Her well-regarded workshop, Parenting Safe Children, empowers adults to keep children safe from sexual assault. Feather co-authored Off Limits, a parenting book that will change the way you think about keeping children safe.. Feather makes this difficult topic less scary, and consistently impresses audiences with her knowledge, commitment, and warmth.  Mentioned in this episode: Join the Live Zoom Workshop for Parenting Safe Children in March & April: Sign Up here Feather's Book: “Off Limits: A Parent's Guide to Keeping Kids Safe from Sexual Abuse” Feather's Instagram here Rachael is a mom of 3, founder of Hey, Sleepy Baby, and the host of this podcast.

Child abuse is when an adult hurts a child, and it is not an accident. Hitting, constant yelling, or unwanted touching can all be child abuse. If someone is hurting you or making you uncomfortable, ask the person to stop or leave and tell someone you trust about what happened.===================================SUPPORT our Podcasts: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1213394/supportGet Truthfinder: https://truthfinder.pxf.io/c/3466408/1404760/15694

Homeschooling is the fastest-growing form of education in the U.S., a surge in popularity that crosses every demographic, political, and geographic line. Most parents who homeschool do so with their children's very best interests in mind. But what about that small but very critical percentage of parents who homeschool in order to hide their child from public view and abuse them? How do we create a policy environment that enhances safety for all children? And how can we factor a homeschool population into child abuse prevention and intervention efforts?

It is no surprise that children are growing up in a predatory society. Businesses, schools, governments and special interest groups are all finding ways to exploit and make profits off of our children. How do we, as the adults in their lives, keep them safe?Humans are the most intelligent of all the animal kingdom; yet, we are the only parents who show our babies how to move towards, instead of away from, predators. Animals teach their young to follow their intuition and run away from predators. We as humans supply our young with access to predators. Listen to one simple change you can make in your household today that will significantly protect your child from those who would cause harm. Teach your young how to arm themselves with protection, using one very simple principle. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This episode of The Fresh Start Family Show welcomes back a cherished guest Rosalia Rivera. Rosalia is the founder of Consent Parenting, a consent educator and child sexual abuse prevention specialist, sexual literacy advocate and the host of the About Consent Podcast. She is also a child sexual abuse survivor, turned thriver. You'll learn how to avoid the pitfalls that many well meaning parents make when it comes to educating ourselves and our children on these topics. This conversation is often uncomfortable or even taboo, but it doesn't need to be and it's absolutely essential that every parent listens since the stats are staggering when it comes to how common sexual abuse with kids is. The more literate we are ourselves, the easier it is to address our own family, friends and others in our children's lives so they stay SAFE! Tune in to learn 5 mistakes parents often make when it comes to keeping kids safe from sexual abuse: 1. Not knowing the stats  2. Thinking that your child will recognize red flag behavior/grooming  3. Not being proactive because you believe your neighborhood/school/religious institution/family circle are all safe 4. Allowing sleepovers without fully vetting where your child will be staying 5. Telling your child that no one should touch their private parts and not telling them what to do IF someone does touch them (and it's not go, run, yell, tell) For links & more info about everything discussed in this episode, head to www.freshstartfamilyonline.com/167.
